iPhone 17, the 'thinnest iPhone ever,' and everything else we're expecting out of Apple's hardware event | TechCrunch
"The iPhone 17 is expected to get a significant makeover to align more closely with the Pro models. It could feature a slightly larger 6.3-inch screen, which is an increase of 0.2 inches compared to the iPhone 16, as well as a 120 Hz display, a substantial upgrade from the current 60 Hz. It's also rumored to have a 24-megapixel front camera."
"The Pro's upgrades will be noticeable on the back of the phone, rumors suggest. Conceptual renderings show that the three rear cameras may be arranged in a rectangular bar that extends from one edge of the device to the other. The flash, light sensor, and microphone would be positioned far to the right side. Where the MagSafe charger is, the Apple logo is said to be centered for aesthetic reasons."
"Notably, the iPhone 17 Pro may switch materials, potentially replacing the titanium band around the screen with aluminum. This could help Apple reduce costs as well as provide a lighter feel. The iPhone 17 Pro Max is expected to see fewer upgrades, too, with the most significant change being a slightly thicker body, likely to accommodate a larger battery - which would be a huge win."
Apple will host a hardware event on September 9 at 10 a.m. PT to unveil new iPhone 17 models alongside Apple Watch and AirPods updates. The iPhone 17 lineup is expected to include iPhone 17, 17 Pro, and 17 Pro Max, plus an ultra-thin iPhone Air replacing the Plus model. The standard iPhone 17 may gain a 6.3-inch display, 120 Hz refresh rate, and a 24-megapixel front camera. Pro models may feature a rectangular rear camera bar, centered Apple logo, material changes such as aluminum replacing a titanium band, new colors, and varied pricing. Design refreshes may begin a three-year redesign cycle with a foldable iPhone planned for 2026.
