Apple recently launched the iPhone 16 series globally. Although the new device is yet to hit the market, rumors about the iPhone 17 have started spreading on the internet. It is being speculated that Apple will revamp the entire line-up with the upcoming iPhone 17. With the iPhone 17 series, the company may bring the slim model iPhone 17 Air, skipping the Plus model. Let’s see what upgrades are expected in the iPhone 17.

iPhone 17: What to expect

As per the trends, the new iPhone 17 series is expected to launch in September 2025. Now, even before the iPhone 16 hits the market, the iPhone 17 is expected to come with several updates. Let’s take a look:

Camera: The iPhone 17 may see a big change in the camera system as opposed to the iPhone 16 series. It’s going from 12-megapixels to 24-megapixels and there will surely be new software features to take advantage of that boost.

Rumours suggest that the upcoming iPhone 17 Pro Max will feature a revolutionary rear camera design, with a trio of 48-megapixel lenses that will be able to capture better detail thanks to the increased resolution. Moreover, this advanced camera setup is expected to be optimised for seamless integration with Apple’s upcoming Vision Pro headset, promising an enhanced viewing experience.

The rear camera on the new iPhone 17 Air will be all-new. Taking a bold step in design, Apple is said to replace the familiar top-left corner multi-camera array with a single, high-powered camera placed at the top-centre of the iPhone’s rear. The implications of this change are still unknown, but it’s interesting to consider how this new layout might affect the camera’s capabilities.

Display: Next year’s iPhone 17 is rumoured to come in at a 6.27-inch size, similar to the 16 Pro model, while the iPhone 17 Plus could undergo a significant redesign, potentially featuring updated dimensions that would 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 mantle technology that has enabled Apple to create a compact Face ID system and a much slimmer notch.

New processor: The 2025 Pro models are expected to be the first iPhones to include Apple’s custom-designed Wi-Fi 7 chip, which promises to deliver a number of connectivity enhancements, including:

– Fast data transfer rates
– low latency
– Simultaneous support for multiple frequency bands
– Overall stability and reliability improvements

This cutting-edge Wi-Fi technology is expected to significantly enhance the wireless connectivity capabilities of the iPhone.

Additionally, the iPhone 17 Air is said to feature improved performance thanks to the A19 chipset, as well as an Apple-designed 5G modem.

New colours: In the latest leak by @MajinBuOfficial, the iPhone 17 Pro may come with a few new colours: Titanium Blue Metallic, Titanium Purple, and Titanium Green.
