The Apple iPhone 17 series will be revealed at Apple’s massively publicized “Awe Dropping” event on September 9, 2025. Fans in the UAE are excited to find out the expected UAE prices, features, and release dates. 
The price for the iPhone 17 in the UAE is expected to be around AED 3,699, while the upper-end iPhone 17 Pro Max will likely be AED 5,499 or more depending on storage specifications. Apple typically adheres to its UAE pricing for local standards for VAT to sales by applying its overseas price, so it frequently adjusts for regional forms of fairs for market reasons.
For reference, the Apple UAE Store tends to post the prices of the newest iPhone series within a couple of hours following the launch, which is among the provinces that gain availability the fastest. Please check with Apple’s official site

Features Expected in the Apple iPhone 17 Series
With the introduction of the Apple iPhone 17 series, the company is anticipated to release various performance and design improvements. Although Apple has kept its cards close to its chest ahead of the announcement, recent leaks suggest the following:
– A new and more robust A19 Bionic chip with faster processing capability.
– Longer battery with AI-enablement to manage runtime.
– Thinner bezels along with a durable titanium housing.
– New camera functionality like possible 10x telephoto zoom.
– iOS 19 with greatly enhanced AI integration.
While each of these anticipated features showcase Apple’s ambition and desire for enhanced premium technology, it also illustrates their commitment to either ensuring or removing red tape for UAE users to have compatible models with local carriers and >5G bands.
