Apple iPhone 17 series features (expected)

Apple’s upcoming iPhone 17 lineup, expected in 2025, could bring a mix of new designs, upgraded cameras, and more powerful hardware, according to early reports.The series is likely to feature four models — iPhone 17, iPhone 17 Air, iPhone 17 Pro and iPhone 17 Pro Max. Display sizes will stay close to the current lineup, with the Pro and Pro Max keeping their 6.3-inch and 6.9-inch screens. The iPhone 17 Air will sit between the two, while the regular iPhone 17 may grow to 6.3 inches, matching the Pro.The “Air” is expected to replace the Plus model. Instead of being a premium variant, it will likely be a mid-range phone — priced lower than the Pro models but higher than the standard iPhone 17.All four models may get ProMotion displays with a 120Hz refresh rate, supported by LTPO OLED panels. However, it is still unclear if the always-on display will be available across the lineup or remain exclusive to Pro models. Apple could also introduce a new horizontal pill-shaped camera bump across the series.On performance, the iPhone 17 series is expected to run on the A19 Pro chip, built on TSMC’s 3nm process, and could offer 12GB of RAM for the first time. This upgrade will enable smoother multitasking and support for Apple’s AI features.The camera system may see the biggest jump. The front camera is tipped to move from 12MP to 24MP, promising sharper selfies. The Pro Max could be the first iPhone with three 48MP rear cameras — Wide, Ultra Wide and a Tetraprism Telephoto lens — with support for 8K video. The Pro models may also get a mechanical aperture for better depth control and dual video recording, while the Air may feature a single 48MP rear camera.As for zoom, the 5x Telephoto lens will remain exclusive to the Pro models, while the iPhone 17 and 17 Air will stick with simpler setups.
