Aluminum frame : The iPhone 17 Pro models are expected to have an aluminum frame, as opposed to the titanium frames on the iPhone 15 Pro and iPhone 16 Pro, as well as the stainless steel frames on models from the iPhone X to the iPhone 14 Pro. The back of the device is said to have a "part aluminum, part glass" design.
Rectangular camera cluster : These devices are rumored to feature a larger rectangular camera cluster, made of aluminum.
A19 Pro Chip : The iPhone 17 Pro is expected to feature Apple's next-generation A19 Pro chip, manufactured using TSMC's new 3nm process. Users can expect improvements in performance and energy efficiency over current models.
Wi-Fi 7 Chip : It is reported that at least one iPhone 17 model will be equipped with an Apple-designed Wi-Fi 7 chip, instead of using Broadcom's chip.
24MP front camera : All four iPhone 17 models are said to feature a 24MP front camera, an upgrade from the 12MP camera on the iPhone 16 models.
48MP Telephoto Camera : The iPhone 17 Pro model will likely be equipped with a 48MP Telephoto camera, an upgrade from the 12MP Telephoto camera on the iPhone 16 Pro.
12GB RAM : Initially, it was reported that 12GB RAM was exclusive to the iPhone 17 Pro Max, but it was later revealed that the iPhone 17 Pro will also get the upgrade. This will help improve Apple Intelligence performance and multitasking capabilities, while the current iPhone 16 models only have 8GB RAM.
iPhone 17 Pro Max gets smaller Dynamic Island : Another notable change exclusive to the iPhone 17 Pro Max is that the Dynamic Island “will be significantly narrower,” thanks to Apple’s adoption of “metalens” technology for the Face ID system.
