iPhone 17 vs iPhone 16: Top 5 upgrades expected
As we inch closer to September, excitement is building around the next-generation iPhone 17 models. This year looks to be a big one for Apple. As of writing this, WWDC 2025 is just around the corner, and the spotlight is firmly on iOS 19 — or what might actually be called iOS 26. Yes, Apple could be changing its naming strategy to match the calendar year. According to Bloomberg's Mark Gurman, iOS 26 is expected to bring the most noticeable design upgrade since iOS 7. And since we are talking about iOS, it's only natural to address the iPhone — and it looks like we're in for a bunch of upgrades across the lineup, if the leaks and rumours are anything to go by. advertisementSo, the iOS 26 update looks promising. The iPhone 17 Air is said to be Apple's next big innovation, touted to be the slimmest iPhone ever. Meanwhile, the iPhone 17 Pro and 17 Pro Max are shaping up to be the best Apple has to offer — as is the case every year. But we also need to talk about the standard iPhone 17. Not many people are focusing on this model, simply because it's rumoured to retain the same design as the iPhone 16. However, that doesn't mean the iPhone 17 should be overlooked. Here are five major upgrades we're expecting that could make it a standout improvement over the iPhone 16.A larger 6.3-inch displayThe 6.1-inch screen size has worked well for the iPhone since the iPhone 13. However, if there's an opportunity to fit in a larger display within the same body, thanks to slimmer bezels — wouldn't that be ideal? The iPhone 16 Pro features a 6.3-inch panel and still manages to stay close to the 15 Pro in terms of size. Similarly, rumours suggest that the standard iPhone 17 could get a screen bump to 6.3 inches. This would give users more variety when it comes to display size — from the iPhone 16's 6.1-inch, to the iPhone 17's 6.3-inch, and all the way up to the iPhone 17 Pro Max's massive 6.9-inch a 120Hz refresh rate panel?advertisement Until now, high refresh rate displays have been limited to the Pro models. Apple's ProMotion technology, which enables 120Hz refresh rate, has been rumoured to make its way to the standard iPhone for years — but it never quite happened. This year, however, it is once again heavily speculated that both the iPhone 17 and the 17 Air may finally get a 120Hz refresh rate screen. The only thing to watch out for is whether this will be a full adaptive 1–120Hz ProMotion panel, or a more basic implementation that switches between 60Hz, 90Hz, and A19 chipsetThe iPhone 16 series is powered by the A18 line of chips, so naturally, the next-gen models are expected to feature the A19 series. Interestingly, as we've already mentioned, Apple may change its naming strategy to align software with the calendar year. The bigger question now is whether this new naming scheme will also apply to its chips — or even to the iPhones themselves. That remains to be seen. For now, the A19 is expected to be based on an enhanced 3nm process, though not yet the rumoured 2nm tech. While the Pro models will likely feature a more advanced A19 Pro chip, the standard iPhone 17 and 17 Air should still see noticeable gains in performance and efficiency.A higher-resolution selfie cameraadvertisementFor years, iPhones have been praised for their photography and videography, especially the latter. But when it comes to the front camera, the 12-megapixel sensor that's been around for a while now is starting to show its age. This is why the rumour of a 24-megapixel selfie camera coming to all iPhone 17 models is exciting. Expect sharper, more detailed selfies — even after in-house Wi-Fi 7 chipThe iPhone 17 lineup is expected to debut with Apple's own Wi-Fi 7 chip, which should deliver much faster speeds (over 40Gb/s), lower latency, and better efficiency. Bluetooth 5.3 is also expected to be included, improving wireless performance across the board.
