Apple is expected to introduce the iPhone 17 lineup around September this year, following its usual launch timeline. As per reports, the upcoming iPhone 17 series will consist of four models: iPhone 17, iPhone 17 Air, iPhone 17 Pro, and iPhone 17 Pro Max. Notably, the ‘Plus’ version is reportedly being discontinued due to declining consumer interest. What’s generating the most buzz, however, is the iPhone 17 Air, which is speculated to be the slimmest iPhone Apple has ever produced. The regular iPhone 17 is rumored to be powered by the A18 processor. Meanwhile, the iPhone 17 Air is expected to feature the newer A19 chip, and the higher-end iPhone 17 Pro and Pro Max models are likely to be equipped with the advanced A19 Pro chipset.
iPhone 17 series display:
As per details shared by Weibo tipster Fixed Focus Digital, the display panels on the base iPhone 17 and iPhone 17 Air will offer a standard 120Hz refresh rate, lacking the ProMotion technology with adaptive refresh capabilities. Although this marks an improvement over the iPhone 16 and iPhone 16 Plus—both of which featured 60Hz LTPS (low-temperature polycrystalline silicon) screens—Apple is reportedly sticking with LTPS panels for its more affordable models in the lineup.

iPhone 17 series camera:
If the buzz is to be believed, the iPhone 17 Pro is set for a significant redesign in the camera department. Speculation points to a bold new horizontal camera strip stretching across the rear—reminiscent of the Pixel’s look, but with Apple’s signature refinement. Some leaked images reveal a pill-shaped module, while other reports suggest the current stacked pyramid-style lens setup could be retained.
On the front, the selfie camera is expected to see a major upgrade, jumping from 12MP to 24MP. Around the back, all three lenses—main, ultra-wide, and telephoto—are rumored to feature 48MP sensors, promising a major boost in photo quality across the board.
Apple iPhone 17 series chipset:
The entire iPhone 17 lineup is anticipated to come with 12GB of RAM, an upgrade from the previous 8GB, enabling enhanced multitasking capabilities and greater support for AI-driven functions. The standard iPhone 17 is likely to be powered by the A19 chip, whereas the Pro variants will feature the more advanced A19 Pro processor, building on the foundation set by last year’s A18.
