As excitement around the iPhone 16 dies down, people already turn their attention to what's next. The iPhone 17 might be just around the corner. While Apple keeps quiet for now many leaks and hints give us an idea of what to expect. Let's check out what may come with the iPhone 17 based on what we know.
New Version: iPhone 17 Slim or Air?
The Information reports that a big rumor is that Apple could introduce a new version of the iPhone. A famous analyst named Ming-Chi Kuo says we might see a thinner model showing up. It might replace the bigger Plus version. This new version could be called iPhone 17 Slim or iPhone 17 Air.
The selling point? A thinner body along with a screen size likely between 6.5 and 6.6 inches. Some debate exists on whether this will be a high-cost option or not. One thing is clear - a big change to how it looks could be coming.
ProMotion Display in Every iPhone 17
Apple loves adding premium features to more of its phones and ProMotion might be next. A report from MacRumors says every iPhone 17 may use ProMotion display tech bringing a 120Hz refresh rate.
ProMotion allows smoother scrolling gaming and media use. So far only the Pro models use it but now every iPhone 17 could have it. Earlier iPhones stayed at 60Hz for years. A higher refresh rate is already popular in many Android phones which could put Apple back on level ground.
Speedier A19 Chip
As always expect a new chip inside. The Pro models could run on the A19 chip offering faster speeds and better efficiency. Non-Pro models will probably stick with older chips.
No full details on the A19 yet. It should still deliver faster performance smarter battery use and better multitasking. Shifting the focus to better speed and low energy use seems likely.
Selfie Camera Power-Up
Another big rumor says the front-facing camera will double its power. Analyst Jeff Pu claims the iPhone 17 will jump from 12MP to 24MP for selfies.
Mashable reports that the upgrade looks promising. Many use the front camera a lot - selfies FaceTime video calls you name it. A huge change in image quality is likely welcome news.
Triple 48MP Rear Cameras for Pro
The iPhone 17 Pro Max might push its rear cameras even further. Ming-Chi Kuo predicts the Pro Max will get three 48MP cameras - one each for wide ultra-wide and zoom shots. Right now the iPhone 16 uses just one 12MP telephoto camera.
What does this mean? Sharper pictures better low-light shots and big improvements in zoom. Photography lovers will probably enjoy these new features.
What iPhone 17 Could Offer
While official news is far away the rumors sound exciting. A lighter weight redesign ProMotion displays across all models and more powerful chips could push this phone ahead of others. For many the better selfie camera and rear cameras might be the main event.
