iPhone 17 Series and iPhone Air: Pre-Order Dates, Features, and Availability Unveiled

Apple has officially announced that the iPhone 17 Series and the all-new iPhone Air can be pre-ordered in Indonesia starting from the tenth day in the coming October. This confirmation comes directly from Apple’s newsroom, highlighting a major milestone for tech enthusiasts looking for the latest iPhone innovations available through the country’s official Apple partner retail channels.

Both product lines—iPhone 17 Series and iPhone Air—will reach consumers across Indonesia through Apple Authorized Resellers such as iBox, Hellostore (Blibli), and Digimap. These resellers are the major distribution points to secure a genuine unit with a comprehensive warranty and after-sales service support.

Variants and Color Options for iPhone 17 Series

The iPhone 17 Series introduces a fresh lineup featuring several model options and enhanced color selections. The standard iPhone 17 arrives with storage configurations of 256GB and 512GB, doubling the base storage from the previous generation. Apple offers this model in subtle tones, namely lavender, misty blue, sage green, white, and black, catering to users seeking minimalist style.

For increased performance and professional features, the iPhone 17 Pro and iPhone 17 Pro Max now include storage up to 1TB and a record-breaking 2TB option for the Pro Max edition. This makes the iPhone 17 Pro Max the iPhone with the highest storage ever released by Apple. Premium colors set these models apart, including cosmic orange, deep blue, and metallic silver, underlining Apple’s commitment to an exclusive design appeal.

iPhone Air: Thinner, Lighter, and Positioned for Power

In this launch cycle, Apple introduces the iPhone Air model, which replaces the previous “Plus” line, marking its first-ever official appearance in the Indonesian market. The iPhone Air is promoted as Apple’s thinnest and lightest iPhone to date, yet maintains performance levels comparable to the Pro version. Its placement targets users who seek a blend of portability and professional-grade speed.

The device comes in four elegant colors: Space Black, Cloud White, Light Gold, and Sky Blue. Storage choices range from 256GB to 1TB, ensuring flexible options for users from casual photographers to creative professionals in need of larger capacities.

Display and Visual Technology

For immersive visuals, both the iPhone 17 and iPhone Air embrace Apple’s latest ProMotion OLED display, supporting a smooth 120Hz refresh rate. The 6.5-inch panels achieve brightness levels up to 3,000 nits, a notable upgrade for clarity under direct sunlight. A 7-layer anti-reflective coating improves outdoor usability and visual comfort, advancing the user experience in bright conditions.

Camera Innovations and Advanced AI Features

Camera technology sees significant upgrades across the new line, especially with the iPhone Air’s main Fusion 48MP sensor. This high-resolution sensor supports lossless 1x and 2x zoom, maximizing image quality in a variety of lighting situations. Users benefit from an 18MP selfie camera, equipped with Center Stage features powered by AI, which intelligently tracks faces during video calls and group selfies.

A standout new feature, Dual Capture Video, enables simultaneous recording via both front and rear cameras, supported by advanced optical stabilization. The front camera’s unique square sensor allows four distinct composition choices for selfies, optimizing the phone for content creators and social media enthusiasts.

Next-Generation Performance with A19 Pro Chip

Performance is driven by the all-new A19 Pro chipset, present in all iPhone 17 Series models including iPhone Air. This six-core CPU and next-generation GPU with Dynamic Caching 2.0 greatly improve graphics rendering and energy efficiency, setting new standards in mobile hardware.

Connectivity is further enhanced with the C1X modem, which offers double the data transmission speed compared to its predecessor. Additionally, the N1 chip integrates Wi-Fi 7, Bluetooth, and Thread for a future-proof wireless experience. Notably, the entire iPhone 17 line, including iPhone Air, supports only eSIM—further reducing device thickness while pushing Apple’s digital ambition.

  2. Pre-orders open on the tenth day of the month, with in-store sales following a week later.

Apple’s official expansion with the iPhone 17 Series and iPhone Air is set to reinforce its commitment to the Indonesian premium smartphone market.
