All models in the lineup will use Apple’s A19 chipset, with Pro and Pro Max sporting the more powerful A19 Pro, built on TSMC’s 3 nm process. RAM increases to 8 GB in base and Air, and up to 12 GB in Pro models to support intensive AI and multitasking tasks.
Display, build & design innovations
A major highlight is the all‑new iPhone 17 Air, just 5.5–6 mm thin, making it Apple’s thinnest phone yet. ProMotion 120 Hz OLED displays across all models are likely, and the Pro variants may feature a horizontal camera bar, aluminium‑glass chassis and new colour finishes including orange, dark blue, purple and pastel tones.
Camera enhancements
Expect a 24 MP front camera across the lineup, replacing the older 12 MP sensor. The Pro Max could offer a triple‑48 MP rear setup with continuous 8× optical zoom, while Pro models may support a mechanical aperture and dual‑video recording for creators.
The Pro Max is rumoured to include a 5,000 mAh battery, the largest iPhone ever. Wired charging may peak at 35 W, and wireless charging could support the Qi 2.2 standard (up to 25 W). Rumours also mention reverse wireless charging and easier battery replacements via service‑friendly adhesive strips.
iOS 26 & software features
The iPhone 17 series will ship with iOS 26, introducing the new Liquid Glass interface design. AI‑based features such as call screening, live translation, group poll messages in Messages, and enhanced battery management are expected.
Color
Model-specific color selections will differ. Macworld reports that Light Gold, Light Blue, Purple, and Green will be available for iPhone 17 and iPhone 17 Air. Black, White, Grey, and Dark Blue are the color options available for the iPhone 17 Pro and Pro Max variants.
