Apple iPhone 17 Series Garners Strong Sales, Launches with Enhanced Features

The iPhone 17 lineup, launched in September 2025, includes the standard iPhone 17 and the slimmer iPhone Air, both powered by iOS 26 and the Apple A19 chipsets. The iPhone 17 offers a classic flagship experience with a 6.3-inch display and bigger battery, while the iPhone Air features a slimmer 5.6 mm profile, a larger 6.5-inch screen, and reverse charging, catering to users valuing portability without sacrificing performance. Both models support 5G, Wi-Fi 7, USB-C charging, and advanced camera systems with 48 MP primary cameras and sophisticated imaging capabilities. Apple has enhanced charging speeds for the iPhone 17 series, with wired charging up to 50% in 20 minutes using a 40W or higher adapter and improved MagSafe wireless charging, including a new MagSafe Battery Pack Air exclusive to the iPhone Air. Official PTA-approved iPhone 17 models have recently launched in Pakistan with prices starting at Rs400,000 for the base 256GB variant, which is expected to stabilize the grey market that had been charging steep premiums. Additionally, Apple’s Crossbody Strap accessory is gaining popularity for practical use in certain situations, reflecting a growing trend in smartphone carrying solutions globally.
