News & Reviews:   iPhone 17 pre-order

Apple has kicked off the year with better-than-expected financial results, signalling continued resilience despite ongoing supply chain pressures and rising component costs. The latest earnings highlight strong demand across its core product categories, reinforcing the company’s position as one of the most dominant players in the global tech industry.

Ever since the iPhone 17 lineup hit the shelves, a fresh concern has bubbled up in Apple Stores: scratches and marks on display units. Shoppers and staff alike flagged blemishes on the rear glass and around the camera bump — and Apple has now begun a multipronged response.

Pre-orders for the new iPhone 17 lineup (iPhone 17, iPhone 17 Pro, iPhone 17 Pro Max) and the iPhone Air began a week ago. Today, 19 September 2025, the local set is officially available. As usual, all the telcos will be offering the lineup with their own special deals. But which one is best suited for you?

We have talked about the iPhone 17 series getting a price hike this year. According to multiple leaks and analyst reports, the base model may retain its $799 price tag, but the iPhone 17 Air, Pro, and Pro Max are expected to cost $50 (~RM211) more than their predecessors.

Apple’s upcoming iPhone 17 series is making waves ahead of its expected September launch, with fresh leaks offering the clearest look yet at the full lineup. Yesterday, a person was spotted using the alleged device, and there is more today, including a striking redesign and expanded colour palette.

With the bad economic times and tariffs going on in the world now, it is expected that a price hike will happen on the iPhone 17 series later in September 2025. According to The Wall Street Journal, Apple is reportedly going to do it, but not because of the trade policy.

For a few weeks, we have seen more reports about what the iPhone 17 series could look like. This also includes the much-anticipated iPhone 17 Air. In this video by iDeviceHelp, it shows a mock-up design based on internal documents.

The iPhone 16 series has yet to be released but we now have some information about the iPhone 17. Coming from reputable industry analyst Ming Chi-Kuo, he claims that the iPhone 17 series will have a huge RAM upgrade of up to 12GB.
