There are new rumors about next year’s iPhone 17 line-up. In a note to clients — as noted by MacRumors — analyst Jeff Pu said that the slim iPhone 17 model (rumored to be called the iPhone Air) will have a 6.6-inch display, and an A19 chip manufactured with TSMC’s same 3nm process that is used for the A18 Pro chip.
He also expects the device to feature an aluminum frame, Face ID, a single 48-megapixel rear camera, a 24-megapixel front camera, and 8GB of RAM for Apple Intelligence.
Pu also reiterated his previous claim that both the iPhone 17 Pro and iPhone 17 Pro Max will feature a 48-megapixel Telephoto rear camera and a 24-megapixel front camera. Both the Telephoto and front cameras shoot at 12 megapixels on iPhone 16 Pro models.
Finally, Pu expects the iPhone 17 Pro models to be equipped with 12GB of RAM, up from 8GB in iPhone 16 Pro models. This increase in memory would contribute to improved performance for Apple Intelligence and multitasking.
According to a blog post from the leaker known as Majin Bu — as noted by MacRumors — the electrical battery removal process found in then iPhone 16/16 Plus will be extended to all four iPhone 17 models launching next year.
These include the iPhone 17 (rumored to be dubbed the “iPhone Air” or “iPhone Slim”), iPhone 17 Pro, and iPhone 17 Pro Max. The batteries inside the iPhone 16 and iPhone 16 Plus use an innovative type of adhesive that can be loosened with low-voltage electrical current from a 9V battery, USB-C charger, or another power source.
Speaking of next year’s smartphones, 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).
