The iPhone 17 Pro is tipped to run on the next-generation A19 Pro chipset, which would be an upgrade over the A18 Pro chip seen on the previous model.

A new vapor chamber cooling system is said to be introduced with the iPhone 17 Pro. This would help the phone manage heat more effectively during intensive tasks or prolonged use.
New cooling system?
Interestingly, Apple may switch back to an aluminum frame for the iPhone 17 Pro, moving away from the premium Grade 5 titanium used in the 16 Pro. While this could help with weight reduction, it may be seen as a step down in terms of durability and finish.
Design
The rear camera design is also expected to see a drastic change. While the iPhone 16 Pro sticks with a square-shaped camera island, the 17 Pro might go for a large rectangular module that stretches nearly edge-to-edge like the Pixel 9 Pro.
A fresh look?

The iPhone 17 Pro could feature a 48MP telephoto sensor, replacing the 12MP periscope zoom camera used in the iPhone 16 Pro. However, optical zoom is said to be limited to 3.5x this time, slightly lower than the 5x zoom capability of the 16 Pro.

Apple is expected to bump up the RAM to 12GB on the iPhone 17 Pro, up from 8GB on the iPhone 16 Pro. This should improve multitasking and boost performance during heavy tasks like gaming or video editing.

Apple brings smarter battery insights and Adaptive Power Mode to iPhones with iOS 26
Apple announced its latest operating system – iOS 26 at the Worldwide Developers conference (WWDC) 2025 event recently. The update brings the all-new Liquid Glass design to iPhones along with other features like improved communication with redesigned Phone and Messages apps and more personalization to the Lock Screen and Home Screen. With iOS 26, Apple has significantly revamped the battery section, offering users a deeper understanding of how their iPhone usage affects battery life. Here's what changes iOS 26 iPhone battery overhaul The iOS 26 update introduces new analytics, smarter app breakdowns, and improved power management tools — all aimed at helping users extend their daily charge. Now located at the top of the Battery section in Settings is a real-time readout showing the current charge level along with the time of the last charge. If the phone is plugged in, it also displays the estimated time remaining for a full charge. One of the most notable changes is the redesigned usage breakdown. Apple has removed the previous 24-hour and 10-day tabs and replaced them with a single weekly view. This new layout compares current usage to your average, letting you know whether you're consuming more, less, or the same amount of battery as usual. iOS 26 enables users to track which app is draining your iPhone battery Users can also review app-by-app battery consumption. iOS 26 now indicates whether an app spent more time onscreen, ran longer in the background, or triggered more notifications than normal—making it easier to spot what's draining the battery. You can scroll back through the past seven days to examine daily usage, split between active screen time and idle screen time, along with charge times and durations. Apple has retained the Battery Health section, which includes details like charge cycles and maximum capacity. Meanwhile, the Charge Limit feature still allows users to cap charging at 80% to preserve battery health. Adaptive Power Mode In addition, iOS 26 introduces a new Adaptive Power Mode. This feature automatically detects when iPhone usage is higher than usual and subtly adjusts performance—like dimming the display or reducing background activity—to stretch battery life without user input. Low Power Mode also remains available as a manual toggle. The enhanced battery tools are rolling out with iOS 26 and iPadOS 26, though they do not yet apply to Macs. The developer beta is currently live, with a public beta expected next month. The official release is slated for September. iPhone 16e: 5 Reasons to buy the most affordable iPhone 16 series model!

Watch: Apple Employee Interrupts Keynote Speech At WWDC Event
Last Updated: The disruption erupted during the keynote address at Apple's prestigious Worldwide Developers Conference (WWDC) 2025. A protester briefly disrupted Apple software head Craig Federighi's opening remarks at the company's esteemed Worldwide Developers Conference (WWDC) 2025. The incident comes days after a Microsoft event was interrupted in a similar manner. The man strode onto the stage, unzipped his jacket to expose a keffiyeh (a headgear often used to show support for Palestine) and displayed what looked like an employee badge. The protestor yelled, 'I work at Apple," according to witnesses, but much of what he said was muffled out by the chaos. Within seconds, security intervened and removed him from the venue. Despite the interruption, Federighi continued speaking and completed the presentation without reacting. Many X (formerly Twitter) users shared the video, describing it as one of the biggest disruptions ever witnessed at a WWDC event. Free Palestine protester trying to interrupt #WWDC25 — Jessica Naziri | Tech Content Creator + Host (@jessicanaziri) June 9, 2025 One X user wrote, 'Hot damn. An actual protest at Apple Park. I can't make out what they are shouting, but they are being escorted out sharpish." 'Good for him. While humanity keeps suffering, someone still fights for good in this world of pathetic human beings," a comment read. Apple has not yet responded to the situation with a formal statement. The WWDC 2025 incident is another incident in a string of protests against major tech companies. It highlights growing internal opposition within digital corporations regarding the firms' relationship with Israel. Similar instances occurred during Microsoft's Build conference in May, where a number of protestors disrupted main events to voice their disapproval of the company's cloud computing contracts with the Israeli government. An engineer, Joe Lopez, disrupted CEO Satya Nadella's keynote speech to accuse the tech giant of being close to the Israeli military amid the ongoing conflict in Gaza. Another presentation, by Jay Parikh, the head of Core AI, was interrupted. In April, Indian-American software engineer Vaniya Agrawal confronted Satya Nadella and Bill Gates at Microsoft's 50th anniversary celebrations, accusing them of being responsible for the casualties in Gaza. 'Fifty thousand Palestinians in Gaza have been murdered with Microsoft technology. How dare you. Shame on all of you for celebrating on their blood," Vaniya Agrawal said before being led away by security guards. First Published: June 10, 2025, 19:17 IST
