Alright, Apple people buckle up. The rumor mill’s grinding at full speed, and with less than three months to go before Apple’s September show, it’s about time we lay out the juiciest, most credible iPhone 17 leaks making rounds. From unexpected lineup tweaks to specs that’ll make your dusty iPhone 12 cry in a corner, here’s what we’ve got.
Bigger, Better, and 120Hz Everywhere
Remember when only the rich kids’ Pro models got those silky-smooth ProMotion screens? Not anymore. According to reliable Weibo tipsters and the usual suspects on MacRumors and Reddit, the base iPhone 17 will get a 6.3” LTPO OLED display with 120Hz refresh. Yes, you read that righ, buttery visuals for everyone
Basically, Apple’s blurring the line between entry-level and Pro. No more glaring screen envy at your cousin’s 16 Pro
Meet iPhone 17 Air: The Ultra-Slim Surprise
Biggest curveball? The iPhone 17 Air a crazy thin, feather-light variant meant to replace the “Plus” model. Think 6.6 inches of screen, barely 5–6 mm thick. That’s MacBook Air finesse in iPhone form.
This isn’t a toy phone either. Rumor has it this thing packs decent hardware and won’t feel like a budget compromise. Apple might just pull off thin without dumb.
Design Shakeups: New Frame, New Camera, New Vibes
Pro models are ditching the titanium for a hybrid aluminum-glass frame. Oh, and that chunky vertical camera bump? It’s allegedly morphing into a horizontal pill-shaped bar housing triple 48MP lenses.
Expect:
- Cleaner heat control via shallow vapor chamber cooling
- Apple logo shifting a bit lower on the back
- MagSafe ring repositioned to play nice with the new camera setup
Cue accessory makers panicking.
A19 Pro Chip, Wi-Fi 7 & More Muscle
Under the hood, Pro models get the A19 Pro chip (3nm), 12GB RAM, and Apple’s own Wi-Fi 7 modem for stupidly fast downloads. Think pro workflows, big 4K files, and maybe even native Vision Pro integration someday.
Cameras Made for Content Creators
Photography heads, rejoice:
- All four models jump to a 24MP front camera (bye-bye grainy selfies)
- Pro/Pro Max rock triple 48MP rears
- 8K video recording and dual-cam video capture for your future TikTok empire
Your iPhone 13 just got real insecure.
Colours & Drop Date Predictions
Expect new shades:
- Purple or Green for the base models
- Sky Blue exclusive to Pro versions
Launch event rumors circle Sept 11–13. Sales open around Sept 19. Mark those calendars.
Thoughts
If these leaks hold water, iPhone 17 is shaping up to be Apple’s boldest refresh since the iPhone X. Bigger displays across the board, a featherweight Air variant, Pro-tier cameras, Wi-Fi 7, and that tantalizing A19 Pro chip.
