Today, Apple announced its new iPhone 17 lineup, including iPhone 17, iPhone Air, iPhone 17 Pro, and iPhone 17 Pro Max. This year’s star of the show is the iPhone Air, replacing last year’s Plus model. With these four new iPhones, Apple has also discontinued a number of older models. This is the new iPhone lineup.

With the launch of the iPhone 17, Apple discontinued the iPhone 15, iPhone 15 Plus, iPhone 16 Pro, and iPhone 16 Pro Max.

This year’s iPhone 17 Pro received a price hike over last year’s iPhone 16 Pro. It now starts $100 higher, though all new iPhone models start with 256GB of storage. Last year’s iPhone 16 models are still at 128GB.
New iPhone colors
As for colors, the standard iPhone 17 comes in Black, Lavender, Mist Blue, Sage, and White. It, as well as iPhone 17 Pro, are built with an aluminum chassis.
iPhone Air, on the other hand, has some appealing titanium finishes: space black, cloud white, light gold, and sky blue.
Last but not least, iPhone 17 Pro and iPhone 17 Pro Max are offered in three colors: deep blue, cosmic orange, and silver.
iPhone accessories
Apple has a new TechWoven case to offer for the iPhone 17 models, as well as a clear case as per usual. This year’s clear case has a white window on the new iPhone 17 Pro models. iPhone Air also has a special new bumper case.
The company also announced a new crossbody strap to go with these new cases, as well as a new MagSafe battery for iPhone Air.
iPhone availability
If you’d like to pick up one of the discontinued iPhone models for whatever reason, Apple Stores tend to carry them at reduced pricing up until the launch date of the next-generation iPhones. Stock is typically quite low at this time of year, so your mileage may vary on whether or not you can grab one. Updated pricing will also take effect starting today.
As for the iPhone 17 lineup, pre-orders start this Friday, September 12th. They’ll be released the week after, on Friday, September 19th.
