iPhone 17: Every New Feature We Know

The planned revelation of the new Apple iPhone is a few days, with the great unveiling planned to September 9 at 10 a.m. PT / 1 PM HE. Rumors have been swirling for months on what the next device, probably called iPhone 17, could look like a redesigned camera module in fresh colors and at a higher cooling rate.

Apple has not yet confirmed anything linked to its expected range of phones, which is likely to include the iPhone 17 pro models and a slim iPhone 17 air. Make sure to follow CNET coverage for all live updates on September 9.

The largest imminent question may be whether iPhones could become more expensive, especially with prices. President Donald Trump said Apple will have to pay a 25% rate on iPhones made outside the United States. This would almost certainly lead to a price increase for consumers. We will have to wait to see how Apple reacts and if buyers really end up exhausting this additional cost. But even without prices, the iPhone can be due to markings, because it has been years since Apple has increased prices on its handsets.

Here is all that analysts and leaks predict on the basic iPhone 17.

Reast of the camera bump

This is not an iPhone version without upgrading the camera, and there have been a lot of rumors about what the camera module could look like on Apple’s to come. As of January, a disclosed image of Majin BU on X suggested that the phone could present a pill -shaped camera bar, essentially resembling what you will find on the Google Pixel 9 phone. In February, BU followed CAD renderings of what would be the iPhone 17 range, with horizontal camera bars, as well as larger rectangular bars on iPhone 17 pro models.

In April, Bloomberg reported that “the iPhone 17 Pro will look much more like 16 pro than planned”, adding “from the front, the 17 pro will appear quite similar to the 16 pro. It is the rear camera which will be significantly different.” The latest rumors suggest that the arrangement of the cameras with three objectives of the iPhone 17 Pro will be maintained but will be located on a new panel which extends over the width of the phone and is the same color as the rest of the phone.

Later in April, BU again published an image of the alleged iPhone 17 range, showing these wider camera bars with the stored objectives still configured on the left.

A more recent article in August sometimes shows the full range, with these redesigned camera bars:

It is only next year, for the 20th anniversary of the iPhone, Apple “will prepare a major upheaval” for the design of the phone, says Bloomberg. This includes a foldable version (long -term) and a “bold new pro model that uses glass more widely”.

Another rumor linked to the camera is that the selfie camera of all iPhone 17 models will be upgraded to 24 megapixels, according to analyst Jeff Pu. It is a decent bump of the camera before 12 megapixel current on the iPhone 16 range, although it is important to remember that more megapixels do not automatically mean better photos. However, given how many people are counting more and more on their front cameras to eliminate selfies and record videos for Tiktok and Instagram, it will surely be a welcome progression.

IPhone 17 display upgrade

The iPhone 17 could have a slightly larger screen by 6.3 inches, instead of that 6.1 inches on the iPhone 16, said in June in June. This means that it could be the same size as the iPhone 16 Pro, as well as the iPhone 17 Pro, 9TO5MAC reported.

The rumor wants all the models of the iPhone 17 will have a 120 Hz screen, increasing the non -pro models of their current refresh rate of 60 Hz. This could be a welcome change, because the difference between the rate of pro refreshment pro and not pro is surprising; When Apple made its debut on the iPhone 16 and 16 Plus with a 60 Hz screen, there was a little outcry from the people who expected more in 2024. This update of rumors could remedy it – and possibly bring the display always on the basic model.

There have been a lot of back and forth to find out if the latest iPhones will have an anti-scratch-resistant anti-reflection display. A July Macrumors report suggests that the functionality will actually arrive on the iPhone 17 Pro and Pro Max, but not the basic iPhone 17. This would make pro models the first iPhones with an anti-reflective screen, giving them a functionality that Patrick Holland of Cnet deemed one of the best attributes of the Samsung Galaxy S25 Ultra.

There have also been contradictory reports on the question of whether the dynamic island of the iPhone 17 range will be different. In May, PU said that all the iPhone 17 models will use new Metalens technology for the local sensor, which could allow Apple to reduce the size of the ID Face sensor and the dynamic island, according to 9TO5MAC. Analyst Ming-Chi Kuo, on the other hand, said in January that the dynamic island would remain “largely unchanged” in the iPhone 17 range compared to the iPhone 16. We will have to see what ends up being true.

The rumors on the frames of the iPhone 17 range will understand have been back and forth. In February, PU suggested that the iPhone 17, the iPhone 17 Pro and the iPhone 17 Pro Max will all have aluminum frames. He noted that the air of the iPhone 17 could be the aberrant value with a titanium frame.

New chipset

In May, Pu noted that the iPhone 17 would have the same A18 chip used in the iPhone 16, while the iPhone 17 air could have an A19 chip and pro models would have an A19 Pro chip.

But a contradictory rumor of Leaker Fixed Focus Numérique on Weibo suggests that the basic iPhone 17 will also have an A19 chip. (The leak also suggests that air iPhone 17 could have the most advanced A19 Pro chip). Ice Universe also said that the iPhone 17 will have an A19 chip, reported 9TO5MAC in July.

Telephones may also include the 5G modem developed by Apple, called the C1 chip, which made its debut on the iPhone 16th.

In February, Kuo noted that Apple will exchange Broadcom’s Wi-Fi fleas for internal fleas in the iPhone 17 range, indicating that this would improve connectivity on Apple devices “. It is not yet known what it would mean exactly, but it would be interesting for Apple C1 chip also to be accompanied by its own Wi-Fi chip.

iPhone 17 battery

Until now, rumors suggest that the iPhone 17 PRO max will be able to obtain a larger battery, according to Ice Universe. The leak says that the high -end phone could go from 8.25 mm thick on the iPhone 16 Pro Max to 8.725 mm on the iPhone 17 Pro Max. In addition, digital digital digital suggests that the high -end phone could have a battery of around 5,000 mAh, a notable increase compared to the 4,685 mAh on the iPhone 16 Pro Max, according to third -party tests.

But that does not mean that the basic version will not get any boost. Even if the battery capacity remains the same (which cannot), the adaptive power supply function fed in AI arriving with iOS 26 can help prolong the life of the battery. The functionality automatically adjusts the performance of your iPhone depending on how you use it for the moment, according to Apple. This could be particularly useful with the thinner air iPhone 17, which will probably have a thinner battery.

iOS 26 brings a new look

Apple has reorganized its mobile operating system with iOS 26 (Pas iOS 19), which is appointed according to the last two figures of the coming year. And with iPados, macOS, Watchos, Tvos and Visionos according to the same name convention, the movement is designed to provide more uniformity – the name of the name and apparently – through operating systems.

The new liquid glass interface brings a more transparent look and lens type on the iPhone and other Apple devices. With iOS 26, the Camera application also adopts a more minimalist design and photos once again facilitate your albums by adding separate tabs for your library and your collections, instead of forceing you to scroll a single congested screen. Messages updates include the possibility of adding backgrounds to discuss windows and create surveys in group cats, and a new screening tool can better detect spam texts and move messages from unknown shipowners to a dedicated folder. You can learn more about the iOS 26 features here.

In April, the Tipster digital cat station noted that, given the use of Apple Intelligence and AI on a “large scale”, the iPhone 17 range will be delivered with 12 GB of RAM, instead of the current 8 GB. Kuo noted that the iPhone 17 air and pro models would have a 12 GB increase in RAM, but that Apple was still deciding to equip the basic model of 8 GB or 12 GB with RAM. In May, Pu noted that the baseline would remain 8 GB.

Price and release date

We expect the iPhone 17 to be available for pre -orders on Friday September 12, in accordance with the previous version of Apple, and it will probably be sent a week later.

The price is a great stranger. Jefferies analyst, Edison Lee said that the iPhone 17 Air, 17 Pro and 17 Pro Max will obtain a price increase of $ 50 to compensate for the higher prices and cost of components, but has not mentioned the basic iPhone 17. If this is true, the starting prices of the full range could be:

• iPhone 17: $ 829
• Air iPhone 17: $ 979
• iphone 17 pro: $ 1,049
• iPhone 17 pro max: $ 1,249

Regardless of the costs or prices of higher components, the iPhone is late for an increase in prices, because the last price increase was five years ago.

The latest rumors suggest that the iPhone 17 could be available in black, blue, silver, purple and green.

At the end of July, BU posted a photo on X of the range of colors planned through the iPhone 17 series:
