iPhone 17 and iPhone Air: When will the new models arrive in Argentina and at what prices?

Apple unveiled the next generation of its flagship smartphone , and for the first time in years, Argentine consumers will be able to access the latest iPhone almost simultaneously with the rest of the world.

The new iPhone 17 family, which now includes an ultra-thin version called Air , It was launched this Tuesday at the "Awe drops" event, held at the company's headquarters in Cupertino, California.

With the confirmation of local resellers , Argentina joins the select group of countries that will have the device available for purchase within a few weeks of its launch in the United States , a fact that until recently seemed unthinkable due to the usual delays in the arrival of previous models in the country.

Apple CEO Tim Cook returned to the spotlight at the event, unveiling a "new member of the iPhone family," the ultra-thin 5.6mm iPhone Air with a 6.5-inch display. The company described it as a "powerful device, yet so thin and light it seems to disappear in your hand" and with a battery that lasts "all day."

However, Apple claims its design is the most durable to date, thanks to a ceramic shell ('Ceramic Shield') and a titanium frame on both sides.

The newest member of Apple's smartphone lineup features the A19 Pro processor, "the most powerful chip for iPhone yet," also announced today, as well as a 48-megapixel dual camera system.

The rest of the line - iPhone 17, 17 Pro and 17 Pro Max - will also arrive with many technical improvements in terms of cameras and design , especially in the rear module of the Pro and Pro Max, its differential compared to the top of the range of the Android universe.

Apple's new family of smartphones will be available in Argentina at the end of October , according to Clarín confirmed by maximstore , Apple's official reseller in the country.

The price of the base model (17) will be around $1,900,000 , a value clearly higher than that obtained in the United States, but with the advantage of having a guarantee, support and official technical service within the national territory.

But that model isn't the only one that will arrive on time. The top-of-the-line iPhone 17 Pro (starting at 2,799 pesos), iPhone 17 Pro Max (2,949,990 pesos), and the new iPhone Air (USD 2,549,999) are also expected to arrive in the country at the end of next month.

"For the first time in a long time, Argentinians will be able to access the iPhone at prices close to those in the United States, but with the advantage of having official assistance and support in the country," explained Alejandro Goldín , General Manager of Maximstore.

In parallel, MacStation , another of Apple's historic official importers in Argentina, assured that it will also bring the base equipment, although only in mid-November and without confirming either price or variants yet .
