iPhone 17 Rumors: Camera, Display, Chipset, and All the Details So Far
Apple has recently released the iPhone 16 series globally. While the new device has not even hit the market, the rumours around iPhone 17 have started doing the rounds on the internet. The speculations are that with the upcoming iPhone 17, Apple will revamp the whole line-up. With the iPhone 17 series, the company might get away with the Plus models and bring a Slim one – iPhone 17 Air. Let’s look at what upgrades iPhone 17 is speculated to come up with.
iPhone 17: What to expect
Following the trends, the new iPhone 17 series is expected to debut in September 2025. Now, even before the iPhone 16 could make its first impression on the market, iPhone 17 is anticipated to bring several updates. Let’s take a look:
Camera:
The iPhone 17 might bring a major change to the camera system, unlike the iPhone 16 series. It’s going from 12-megapixel to 24-megapixel and will surely have new software features to take advantage of that boost. Rumours suggest that the upcoming iPhone 17 Pro Max will boast a revolutionary rear camera design, featuring a trio of 48-megapixel lenses, enabling enhanced detail capture due to the increased resolution. Moreover, this advanced camera setup is expected to be optimised for seamless integration with Apple’s forthcoming Vision Pro headset, promising a superior visual experience.
The new iPhone 17 Air’s rear camera will be all new. In a bold design move, Apple is said to be replacing the familiar top-left corner multi-camera array with a single, high-powered camera placed at the top-center of the iPhone’s rear. The implications of this change are still unknown, but it’s intriguing to consider how this new layout could impact the camera’s capabilities.
Display:
Next year’s iPhone 17 is rumoured to be getting a size boost to 6.27 inches, mirroring the 16 Pro model, while the iPhone 17 Plus may undergo a significant redesign, potentially featuring updated dimensions that will differentiate it from previous models.
According to reports, the iPhone 17 Pro Max will boast a more streamlined Dynamic Island, made possible by the adoption of smaller mentales technology, which has enabled Apple to make a compact Face ID system and create a more slender notch.
New processor:
The 2025 Pro models are anticipated to be the first iPhones to incorporate Apple’s custom-designed Wi-Fi 7 chip, which promises to deliver numerous connectivity enhancements, including:
- Faster data transfer rates
- Lower latency
- Simultaneous support for multiple frequency bands
- Improved overall stability and reliability
This cutting-edge Wi-Fi technology is expected to significantly boost the iPhone’s wireless connectivity capabilities.
Additionally, the iPhone 17 Air is said to pack a better performance attributed to the A19 chipset it will come with, along with the Apple-designed 5G modem.
