iPhone 17 Series Launches: Early Buyers Prefer Pro Models
Apple fans are in for a treat as the new iPhone 17 series hits stores this Friday, September 19, 2025. The iPhone Air, iPhone 17, iPhone 17 Pro, and iPhone 17 Pro Max are joined by the latest AirPods Pro 3 and Apple Watch Series 11. The excitement was palpable as the first customers queued up from 3 a.m.
Mohit Kalra, a technology critic, was the first to buy the iPhone 17 Pro in Sydney, marking the official launch. Interestingly, none of the first three buyers opted for the iPhone Air, despite it being the most talked-about model. The first purchases included an iPhone 17 in Mist Blue, an iPhone 17 Pro Max in Silver, and an Apple Watch Series 11. The first customer chose the iPhone 17 in Mist Blue for its exceptional value, appreciating that it offers 'every Pro feature without the Pro price tag'.
The new iPhone 17 series and accompanying products are now available in-store. Early buyers have shown a preference for the higher-end models, with the iPhone 17's value proposition yet to be fully explored by customers.
