iPhone 17 series leaks and rumours at a glance
The iPhone 17 series is rumoured to feature a significant design change. Reports suggest a new, slimmer design, with the potential introduction of an ultra-thin iPhone 17 Air model. This focus on a thinner profile is crucial for Apple to make its flagship devices sleeker and modern. The rectangular camera hump on all the iPhone 17 series models could mark a departure from the lens-only setups.
One of the most significant changes rumoured for the iPhone 17 series is the global expansion of Apple’s eSIM-only policy. Following the iPhone 14 in the United States, reports indicate that the iPhone 17 lineup will do away with the physical SIM card tray in many international markets, particularly within the European Union.
Beyond the design and connectivity changes, the iPhone 17 series is expected to pack a powerful punch under the hood with the rumoured A19 series chipset. On the camera front, analysts predict a significant upgrade to the telephoto lens, with a potential increase in optical zoom capabilities for the Pro models. Additionally, a new, more advanced battery technology is rumoured to be included for greater battery life.
