New iPhones usually debut on the second Tuesday of September. This was the case with the iPhone 16 and several previous models. If Apple continues to stick to this date, This premiere of the iPhone 17 will take place on September 9, 2025.
iPhone 17 is getting closer. An absolute novelty is being prepared
Everything indicates that – as in last year – four iPhone models will go on sale. However, we can expect a significant change. Leaks indicate that a new Air variant will appear that will replace the current iPhone Plus.
- iPhone 17 – screen 6.27 ″, processor A19;
- iPhone 17 Pro – screen 6.27 ″, A19 Pro processor;
- iPhone 17 Pro Max – screen 6.86 ″, A19 Pro processor;
- New: iPhone 17 Air – 6.65 ″ screen, A19 processor.
Design: the most smart in the history of Air and the new island of cameras
iPhone 17 Air is to be the most smooth iPhone in history, with a housing only 5.5 mm thick. This model is to be more expensive than the standard iPhone 17, but at the same time cheaper than both Pro variants. The new smartphone will have a single 48 MP camera. Interestingly, he will not receive a physical SIM card slot. iPhone 17 Air will work only based on ESIMat least in USA.
Due to its ultra -high construction, The iPhone 17 Air will be equipped with a smaller battery compared to other models from the series. Although the exact capacity is unknown, it can be expected that the working time on one charge will be shorter than in the case of other variants.
When it comes to the design of the other models, here we should not expect major news, although one is worth mentioning. It is about the changed module of the Apple camera plans to use horizontal camera belt runningabout throughout the width of the back of the housing. The available information shows that the only variant with the vertical island of cameras will be the iPhone 17.
Display: 120 Hz Finally in all models
All iPhone 17 models will receive Super Retina displays XDR with adaptive refreshment to 120 Hz (Promotion). This is quite an important change, because so far The higher refresh rate was reserved exclusively for Pro variants. The screen diagonals are to be 6.27 inches in models 17 and 17 PRO, 6.86 inches in the 17 Pro Max and 6.6 -inch model in the 17 Air model. Apple is also working on a new, harder screen coating, more resistant to scratches.
Camera: Telephoto lens and 5x zoom only for the chosen ones
The configuration of the cameras in individual models is to be as follows:
- iPhone 17 Air – one lens: 48 MP (wide)
- iPhone 17 – two lenses: 48 MP (wide) + 48 MP (Ultra)
- iPhone 17 Pro – three lenses: 48 MP (wide) + 48 MP (Ultra) + 48 MP (tele)
- iPhone 17 Pro Max – three lenses: 48 MP (wide) + 48 MP (Ultra) + 48 MP (tele)
According to Macrumors information, models will also gain mechanical aperture and mode Dual-Recording (simultaneous recording of the front and rear camera). The Pro Max model will, in turn, be the ability to record video at 8K resolution.
iPhone 17 and iPhone 17 Air will not have a telephoto lens, which means a lack of an optical zoom 5x. In the Air model you will also not find “Ultra” eyelets. Apple decided on a similar movement during the premiere of the iPhone 16E, which also only has a single camera.
Performance: The A19 system will crush the competition again?
All iPhones 17 will receive the same A19 system that will be made in 3 nanometers technology. However, it will appear in two versions. Pro versions will receive A19 Pro Chip – with more graphic cores and 12 GB RAM. For iPhone 17 and Air is expected Standard variant A19 and 8 GB RAM.
The new system has offer a noticeable increase in CPU and GPU performance while reducing energy consumption. Improvements of service are also expected artificial intelligence (Neural Engine), which will be particularly important in the context of the growing integration of the AI ​​function in iOS.
The 5G modem reports are interesting. There are many indications that the original modem Apple C1 (which debuted at the premiere of the iPhone 16E) will only appear in the iPhone 17 Air, and the other models will still use the 5G modem from Qualcomm.
Prices: this is the biggest unknown
In recent years, Apple has maintained the price of iPhones at the current level in most markets. Poland found itself here in a fairly unique situation, because in our country the prices of these devices were falling for two years in a row. How will it be this year? It's a great unknown. The confusion related to customs and trade war means that it is difficult to predict what step Apple will finally decide.
From the last reports of The Wall Street Journal However, it follows that the decision to raise the prices of iPhones in Cupertino has already been made And she will not even change the agreement concluded a few days ago between the United States and China, which temporarily (and partly) tolerates retaliation.
