Analyst: big display changes coming to the iPhone 17 lineup next year

iPhone 17 concept

As noted by 9to5Mac —analyst Ross Young says there are big display changes coming for the entire iPhone 17 lineup. 

According to Young, the entry model iPhone 17, plus the 17 Air (which he calls “Slim”) are set to receive some of the best “Pro” features: an LTPO display with 120Hz refresh rate. Other rumors about the 2025 Apple smartphone are: 

° The processors for 2025 iPhone 17 models will be made by Apple partner’s TSMC’s N3P process/3-nanometer technology.

° Apple will discontinue the Plus model.

Analyst Ming-Chi Kuo says that only the iPhone 17 Pro Max will feature the following specifications:

° 12GB DRAM (while the ultra-thin iPhone, iPhone 17, iPhone 17 Pro, and SE4 will all have 8GB). Enhanced on-device AI capabilities will likely be a major selling point for the iPhone 17 Pro Max.

° An upgraded cooling system combining vapor chamber (VC) technology and graphite sheets. Other 2025 new iPhone models will continue to use graphite sheets alone for thermal management.

Other details about the overall specifications of the iPhone 17 lineup have been shared by the leaker known as “Ice Universe.”

He/she says the screen sizes and pricing will be:

  • iPhone 17: 6.27-inch LTPO display ($799)
  • iPhone 17 Pro: 6.27-inch LTPO display ($1,099)
  • iPhone 17 Pro Max: 6.86-inch LTPO display ($1,199)
  • iPhone 17 “Slim”: 6.65-inch LTPO display ($1,299).
