Apple iPhone 17 Pro Max in Cosmic Orange variant, priced at ₹1,49,900, sold out in India and the US ahead of launch.
Apple’s latest flagship, the iPhone 17 Pro Max, has officially arrived — and its standout Cosmic Orange finish has already sold out in pre-orders across India and the US, despite its hefty starting price of ₹1,49,900. Sales for both the iPhone 17 Pro and iPhone 17 Pro Max begin in India on September 19, 2025.
Cosmic Orange Craze
The new Cosmic Orange finish, resembling a saffron hue, is the highlight of this year’s lineup. Due to overwhelming demand, delivery for this variant has been pushed back, with Apple’s online store now listing October 8 as the earliest availability date.
What’s Inside the Box
As expected, Apple keeps the unboxing minimal. Buyers get:
- The iPhone 17 Pro Max
- A USB-C to USB-C charging cable
- A SIM ejector tool
Apple is also offering matching MagSafe silicone cases and a clear case option specifically for the Cosmic Orange variant.
Design & Display
The iPhone 17 Pro series ditches titanium for an aerospace-grade 7000-series aluminum frame, making the device lighter while retaining durability. A new Ceramic Shield 2 boosts scratch resistance and frees up space for a larger battery.
- iPhone 17 Pro: 6.3-inch Super Retina XDR display
- iPhone 17 Pro Max: 6.9-inch Super Retina XDR display
- Both support 120Hz refresh rates
Performance & Connectivity
At its core is Apple’s new A19 Pro chip, featuring a 6-core CPU, 6-core GPU, and a 16-core Neural Engine for advanced AI-driven tasks. Connectivity upgrades include Wi-Fi 7, Bluetooth 6, Thread support, and the latest C1x modem with N1 chip. Thermal performance is improved with an Apple-designed vapor chamber cooling system.
Camera Upgrades
The iPhone 17 Pro series boasts a 48MP Fusion triple-camera setup, with a new 48MP telephoto lens offering up to 8x optical-quality zoom. On the front, users get an 18MP Centre Stage camera for selfies and video calls.
For creators, videography now supports Dolby Vision HDR, 4K at 120fps, ProRes Log, ProRes RAW, Apple Log 2, and a GenLock feature for professional workflows.
