The iPhone 17 series is arriving late next year and leaks about the next-generation iPhones have already started to surface online. Now, a fresh leak hints at exciting changes to Apple’s 2025 lineup. According to some analysts, both the iPhone 17 Pro models and the iPhone 17 Air will receive significant improvements, especially in camera performance and design. Here’s everything you need to know.

The latest report from Jeff Pu, an analyst at Haitong International Tech Research, suggests that Apple will introduce a 48-megapixel telephoto camera with the iPhone 17 Pro and iPhone 17 Pro Max, which is a big upgrade from the 12-megapixel telephoto lens found in . The current iPhone 16 Pro model. The front camera on these new Pro models is also expected to remain at 12 megapixels, similar to the iPhone 16 Pro series.

Performance upgrades are also on the cards. The iPhone 17 Pro and Pro Max are rumored to have 12GB of RAM, which is a significant increase from the 8GB in the existing Pro versions. This could improve the phone’s ability to handle multitasking and boost overall performance, especially for AI-powered features. Additionally, Apple is said to be working on reducing the dynamic island on the iPhone 17 Pro Max, which is made possible by smaller components for Face ID using the new “Metalens” technology.

The screen sizes are expected to remain the same, with the iPhone 17 Pro sporting a 6.3-inch display and the Pro Max sporting a 6.9-inch display. Both models are likely to be powered by Apple’s upcoming A19 Pro chip, which will be built using TSMC’s advanced 3nm manufacturing process, potentially delivering faster speeds and better battery efficiency.

Perhaps one of the most interesting aspects of the leak is the iPhone 17 Air, which may replace the existing iPhone Plus. The iPhone 17 Air, which is also said to be the iPhone 17 Slim, may include a 6.6-inch display, 8GB RAM, and a dynamic island. It’s also expected to run on the A19 Bionic chip like its Pro siblings, and will likely feature Apple’s first in-house 5G modem.

In terms of cameras, the iPhone 17 Air is rumored to include a 48-megapixel rear camera, along with a 24-megapixel front-facing camera, making it a significant step up from the non-Pro model. The Air models are also expected to feature a new design, which will potentially feature an aluminum frame, which will be different from previous iPhone designs.
