Although the iPhone 17 Pro and iPhone 17 Pro Max are not expected to debut until September, numerous rumors about these devices are already circulating.
Aluminum Frame: The iPhone 17 Pro models are rumored to feature an aluminum frame, in contrast to the titanium frames of the iPhone 15 Pro and iPhone 16 Pro models. Meanwhile, the iPhone X through iPhone 14 Pro have utilized stainless steel frames. The back design of the new models is said to incorporate a combination of aluminum and glass.
Rectangular Camera Bump: Expected for the iPhone 17 Pro models is a sizable rectangular camera bump with rounded corners. Apple is likely to maintain a triangular configuration for the rear camera lenses.
A19 Pro Chip: The iPhone 17 Pro models are anticipated to be powered by Apple's next-generation A19 Pro chip, reportedly manufactured using TSMC's advanced third-generation 3nm process. As usual, users can expect modest improvements in performance and power efficiency compared to current iPhone models.
Apple-Designed Wi-Fi 7 Chip: All four iPhone 17 variants are rumored to come equipped with a Wi-Fi 7 chip developed by Apple, moving away from reliance on Broadcom technology.
24-Megapixel Front Camera: Each of the four iPhone 17 models is said to feature an upgraded 24-megapixel front-facing camera, a significant enhancement over the 12-megapixel front camera found in all iPhone 16 models.
48-Megapixel Rear Telephoto Camera: An upgraded 48-megapixel Telephoto camera is expected for the iPhone 17 Pro models, replacing the 12-megapixel Telephoto camera seen in the iPhone 16 Pro models.
12GB of RAM: Initially thought to be exclusive to the iPhone 17 Pro Max, the increase to 12GB of RAM is now also expected for the iPhone 17 Pro. This enhancement is expected to improve performance for Apple Intelligence and multitasking capabilities. In comparison, all four iPhone 16 models come with 8GB of RAM.
Improved Cooling: All four iPhone 17 models are rumored to feature internal design modifications aimed at enhancing heat dissipation.
There were initial rumors suggesting that the iPhone 17 Pro Max would feature a narrower Dynamic Island, but this claim has since been challenged.
