In a note to clients, as noted by MacRumors, analyst Jeff Pu says all four iPhone 17 models will feature an Apple-designed Wi-Fi 7 chip.
This lines up with current rumors, following the announcement of Apple’s first customer cellular modem being included in the iPhone 6e.
As for the entire iPhone 17 line-up, here’s a roundup of the other rumors:
° Apple has tested a wireless reverse charging feature for its upcoming iPhone 17 Pro models that would make the iPhone capable of delivering power to other Apple devices,
° The iPhone 17 series will use Samsung’s high performance “M14” OLED display panel.
° The iPhone 17 lineup will feature a vapor chamber heatsink to improve thermal performance.
° iPhone 17 Pro models will feature a smaller main camera sensor than the one used in the Fusion camera currently found in iPhone 16 Pro models.
° The iPhone 17 Pro Max year will feature a smaller Dynamic Island,
° Apple’s standard iPhone 17 will feature a display with a higher refresh rate, potentially bringing “ProMotion” technology to the base model in Apple’s flagship iPhone lineup for the first time.
° The smartphones could sport a redesigned camera bar running along the width of the devices instead of the smaller bump on this year’s iPhone 16 series,
° The iPhone 17 Pro and iPhone 17 Pro Max will feature a titanium chassis just like the current Pro models (although other rumors claim Apple will adopt aluminum across its 2025 lineup).
° The tetraprism camera system that enables 5x optical zoom will be exclusive to the iPhone 17 Pro and iPhone 17 Pro Max.
° The iPhone Air (or it may be dubbed the “iPhone Slim”) could be the thinnest iPhone ever: 6.25mm thick. And it will have either a 6.6-inch or 6.7-inch display.
° The entry model iPhone 17, plus the 17 Air will receive some of the best “Pro” features: an LTPO display with 120Hz refresh rate.
° 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.
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.”
