Expected Pricing in India, USA, and UAE:
The iPhone 17 is expected to launch in India with a starting price of around Rs. 79,900, though prices for higher models may rise due to global trade policy changes. Tariff hikes, particularly those introduced during the Trump administration, along with rising U.S.–China tensions, have increased manufacturing costs, potentially driving retail prices higher worldwide.

India: From Rs. 79,900 (base model)
-
USA: From $899
-
UAE: From AED 3,799
Expected Launch Timeline:
According to industry leaks, Apple is expected to unveil the iPhone 17 series on September 8, 2025.
