After months of anticipation, Apple finally unveiled its 2025 iPhone range to the world this month. 

The tech giant launched four brand new iPhones – the iPhone Air, iPhone 17, iPhone 17 Pro, and iPhone 17 Pro Max – alongside three new Apple Watches and AirPods Pro 3. 

Many fans have rushed to purchase the gadgets, which went on sale on Friday. 

However, if you want to get your hands on the more premium models, expect a hefty wait.

Apple has quietly extended the wait times for the iPhone 17, iPhone 17 Pro, and iPhone 17 Pro Max in the UK. 

If it's the iPhone 17 or iPhone 17 Pro you're after, you'll be waiting until 7–14 October for delivery.  

But if you want to splash out on the most expensive model – the £1,199 iPhone 17 Pro Max – you could be waiting almost a month.

The news comes days after a fight broke out outside an Apple Store in Mumbai as fans raced to try to be the first to purchase one of Apple's new devices. 

The trillion–dollar tech giant revealed the four models in the iPhone 17 family at an event at its California HQ earlier this month. 

As well as the standard iPhone 17 option, there's the more advanced iPhone 17 Pro and the iPhone Pro Max, which bigger screens and more processing power. 

iPhone 17 Pro and the iPhone Pro Max have a rear camera bump that takes up the entire top third of the phone, considered by some as 'ugly'. 

iPhone 17 Pro and iPhone 17 Pro Max are available in three colours: Silver, Deep Blue, and a bold new colour called Cosmic Orange.

But in previous years, Apple has opted for a more muted, neutral set of tones for its Pro lineup, so the bright new colours did not go down well with some fans.

Surely the most–anticipated new device in the family is the iPhone Air, a new ultra–slim and light option that ties in with Apple's 'Air' MacBook computers. 

With a depth of 0.22 inches (5.6 mm), it is the thinnest iPhone ever produced, even thinner than the 0.27–inch (6.9 mm) iPhone 6. 

However, the new devices don't come cheap – the standard baseline iPhone 17 model starts at £799/$799, while the iPhone 17 Pro starts at £1,099/$1,099. 

iPhone 17 availability in the UK

iPhone Air: 24 September 

iPhone 17: 7-14 October

iPhone 17 Pro: 7-14 October

iPhone 17 Pro Max: 14-21 October

Starting at $999/£999, the iPhone Air's price positions it between the basic iPhone 17 and the more expensive iPhone 17 Pro Max. 

And the most expensive option, the iPhone 17 Pro Max – which has bigger battery, display and storage capacity – goes from £1,199/$1,199. 

While some excited fans pre–ordered their iPhones, others are only attempting to get their hands on them now. 

The Daily Mail discovered hefty wait times for several models on the Apple Store. 

The iPhone 17 and iPhone 17 Pro have an expected delivery of 7–14 October, while the iPhone 17 Pro Max is set to be delivered between 14–21 October. 

However, there's good news if you've been eyeing up the iPhone Air. 

This model – Apple's thinnest yet – has an expected delivery date of 24 September. 

Many shoppers queued through the night to be near the front of the Apple Store when the doors opened on Friday. 

A video clip showed tempers boiling over outside the Apple Store at the BKC Jio Centre in Mumbai, India, as many fans tried to be among the first owners. 

The footage showed a congested mass of would–be buyers, predominantly men, who swung punches and threw objects, as authorities were forced to intervene.
