Apple is collaborating with Samsung to manufacture advanced image sensors for the upcoming iPhone 18 at a Texas facility, marking a shift towards US-based production. The new sensors are expected to feature a 200-megapixel camera, enhancing the iPhone's photographic capabilities. Meanwhile, Apple is preparing to launch the iPhone 17 series on September 9, which will include four models: iPhone 17, 17 Air, 17 Pro, and 17 Pro Max. These models are anticipated to feature increased storage capacities, higher prices, and a slimmer design, with the Pro models possibly adopting new antenna designs inspired by the Apple Watch Ultra. The iPhone 17 Pro is rumored to include an aluminum unibody frame with a glass cutout for MagSafe, a 48MP variable telephoto camera with 5x-8x optical zoom, a 24MP selfie camera, antireflective display coating, and new dark blue and copper finishes. The starting price for the iPhone 17 Pro in India is expected to be Rs. 145,990, with the launch scheduled for September 9 or 10. Additionally, Apple is expected to unveil new Apple Watch models, including Series 11, Ultra 3, and SE 3, featuring 5G connectivity, improved battery life, and new health features at the same event.
