Apple iPhone 17 Will Premiere Major Design Upgrade, New Report Hints
When the iPhone 17 series lands, it's going to look very different from the current line-up. And a new report tells us exactly how big the displays will be —and seems to confirm a highly desirable upgrade is coming. Apple iPhone 16: will the iPhone 17 have a ProMotion screen for the first time? While the iPhone 17 Pro and iPhone 17 Pro Max will stick with the display sizes Apple introduced last year for the Pro models, the regular iPhone 17 will gain a bigger, and possibly better, screen. According to Ross Young, an analyst who specializes in displays, in a post on X for subscribers only, and picked up by MacRumors, the display sizes will be changing. Apple iPhone 17 screen will be bigger than the iPhone 16 display by 0.15 inches, that is, it'll go up from 6.12 inches to 6.27 inches, which will match the size of the iPhone 16 Pro screen. Apple rounds these figures, describing the iPhone 16 as having a 6.1-inch display, and the iPhone 16 Pro screen as measuring 6.3 inches. Expect the same this September. Young says that the iPhone 17 Pro will continue to have the same size screen as it does now, that is, 6.27 inches. Which makes me think that Apple may be about to release the first regular iPhone with ProMotion, the advanced dynamic refresh rate until now exclusively on iPhone's Pro models. After all, the screen size increase to match the Pro means Apple could use the same display on both models. ProMotion also enables the always-on display on the Pro, so this could be coming to the regular iPhone, too. The iPhone 17 Pro display is thought to be the same as now, that is 6.86 inches (6.9 inches in Apple Speak). Finally, the new slimmer phone, nicknamed iPhone 17 Air, will have a 6.55-inch display, Ross claims.

iPhone 17 tipped to get a larger screen thanks to smaller bezels – and that could be its biggest upgrade
When you buy through links on our articles, Future and its syndication partners may earn a commission. The iPhone 17 could get a bigger screen, according to new rumors A jump from 6.1 inches to 6.27 inches is rumored The bezels are expected to get smaller We're getting closer to the expected September launch of the iPhone 17, and the latest unofficial leak to emerge suggests the display is going to grow in size compared to the iPhone 16 – thanks primarily to shrinking bezels. According to well-respected industry analyst Ross Young, the upcoming flagship phone from Apple will have a screen measuring 6.27 inches corner to corner, which is a small but noticeable increase from 6.1 inches on the current model. As 9to5Google reports, various other sources have also pointed towards the same upgrade in recent months, which adds an extra layer of credibility to the rumor. As for the iPhone 17 Pro and Pro Max, they're expected to have the same screen sizes as their predecessors, so 6.3 inches and 6.9 inches respectively. That leaves the iPhone 17 Air, which is rumored to have a screen size of 6.7 inches. There's no current model we can compare this to, but it's apparently going to replace the iPhone 16 Plus, which has the same display size of 6.7 inches. We've heard plenty about the iPhone 17 over the last few months, including a rumor that the base iPhone model will at last get an upgrade to 120 Hz ProMotion technology, meaning smoother on-screen animations and support for an always-on display. The Pro and Pro Max models are being tipped for a pretty significant redesign around the back, although it doesn't seem that this revamp is going to extend to the base iPhone 17 – which will instead adopt a familiar look. Against the backdrop of ever-changing US tariff policies, it remains to be seen what Apple is able to do with the pricing, and there's persistent talk that we'll have to pay more for the iPhone 17 than we did for the iPhone 16. Meanwhile, we've heard that Apple might be shifting iOS (and its other software platforms) to version 26 this year, to match 2026 next year. However, it seems unlikely that the iPhone series will get a similar number bump. 5 things I want from the iPhone 17, or I'm back on Android The iPhone 17 is rumored to go big on video recording features These are the best iPhones you can buy right now

iPhone 17 leak corroborates a display glow-up fans have waited years for
The iPhone 16 . | Image Credit - PhoneArena A new leak is giving us very exciting information about the base iPhone 17. If the leaks are anything to go by, the iPhone 17 lineup is shaping up to be a head-turner – for better or worse. We're expecting a redesign for the Pro models and the debut of an ultra-slim new addition, reportedly called the iPhone 17 Air. Love it or hate it, Apple seems to be charging ahead with these changes, judging by the sheer volume of leaks surrounding the lineup. Another previously rumored change is said to come for the base model. The base iPhone 17 may be the only model that remains "recognizable" from the series, but it is expected to also get some upgrade love. In the display department. Now, another reputable voice, analyst Ross Young, in a subscriber post (via AppleInsider) is corroborating earlier expectations about the iPhone 17 display. According to Young (as well as some other earlier rumors) the iPhone 17 may get a bigger screen. The display may grow from 6.1 inches to 6.3 inches - well, 6.27 inches precisely. Multiple earlier leaks have reported this change, and those came from different sources, so it's safe to assume it is very likely to happen. Apart from that increase in screen real estate, another very welcomed rumored upgrade is (finally!) a 120Hz refresh rate. ProMotion displays – those with 120Hz refresh rates – have been reserved for Pro-branded models for years, but now it may be time for the base iPhone 17 model to get it. On top of it all, the leak also hints the iPhone 17 will get always-on display support. The iPhone 16 Pro has a 6.3-inch display. | Image Credit - PhoneArena As you can see, this is very good news, if the rumor turns out to be true. A bigger display, fluid motions, and always-on would make the base iPhone 17 even more appealing. Last year, the iPhone 16 Pro and Pro Max's display sizes grew from 6.1 and 6.7 inches to 6.3 and 6.9 inches, respectively. The iPhone 16 retained the same screen size as its predecessor, though, so it's probably about time for it to grow as well. Probably the most exciting phone from the lineup is the iPhone 17 Air , though. It is bound to replace the 'Plus' model (which replaced the 'Mini' model) and is said to be an extremely thin phone. It recently leaked compared to the iPhone 16 Plus and showed off its exquisite thinness. The iPhone 17 series will compete with the Galaxy S25 phones for the title of the best flagship. Even the Air has a competitor in the face of the newly-launched Galaxy S25 Edge, another slim beauty fighting for your heart.

5 things the iPhone 17 needs to make it a compelling upgrade
The Apple iPhone 17 needs to be a significant upgrade to remain a popular smartphone choice in 2025 and 2026, as the incredible selection of hardware, specification, and design in the Android world threatens to further erode its appeal. What does Apple need to do with the iPhone 17 series this year, if we're going to continue recommending it? Here's five things the iPhone 17 needs to be a compelling upgrade. All iPhone 17 models need a 120Hz, always-on screen Apple made a mistake by not adding the 120Hz ProMotion, always-on screen to all the iPhone 16 models. The problem is, a high refresh rate screen is standard on almost every Android phone you can buy today, and by ignoring the non-Pro iPhone, Apple looked out of touch. What frustrates the most, is Apple's always-on screen is one of the best you can get, and more owners should be able to experience it. Recommended Videos From the way it adapts your wallpaper and categorizes notifications, to how it shows live data from apps, the always-on screen is informative and attractive. The 120Hz ProMotion feature is also superb, and unlike many Android phones, it's extremely rare to notice any adjustment to a lower refresh rate for the sake of battery life. All iPhone 17 models need the 120Hz, always-on screen, even if Apple slightly changes the features and appearance for the non-Pro models, if it really must use it as a way to upsell to Pro models. Battery innovation The iPhone 16 series is one of the better smartphones for battery life already, but everyone always wants the battery in their phone to last longer than it does, yet not compromise on things like device size and weight. It's a problem Android device makers are starting to get a hold of with the introduction of silicon-carbon batteries, which are higher capacity cells without the drawback of needing to dramatically increase physical size. The iPhone 17 series represents a great opportunity for Apple to really take the lead in mobile battery technology, and build on foundations it has in the iPhone 16 and iOS 18, whether it's through the introduction of silicon anode batteries, graphite batteries, or something else. It needs to demonstrate a noticeable increase in battery life for most people, and then illustrate it better than Android brands. This shouldn't be difficult as Apple is great at telling compelling stories, which leads us on to the next point. Make me care about Apple Intelligence Artificial Intelligence (AI) is everywhere, and it's embedded into nearly every smartphone introduced over the last few years, yet the features are all very similar and often not ones people will regularly use. Apple Intelligence, after a rocky start, is now mostly available on all compatible iPhone models, in most places where the phones are sold. When the iPhone 17 arrives, and with it iOS 19, Apple needs to explain to us why we should care about Apple Intelligence. Samsung makes a considerable effort to show how Galaxy AI, and in particular Now Brief, can help make our lives easier. Whether it does or not isn't the point. It gives the impression its AI features do something. It's not really clear what Apple Intelligence does that's different or better than other mobile AI suites, how Siri fits into the model, and why anyone should buy an iPhone to use it. Apple is a master at taking features other manufacturers fail to effectively sell and turning them into must-haves. Apple Intelligence is the feature, but any benefits have not been effectively communicated yet, and we've yet to see an AI tool or feature everyone understands and can see how it fits into their lives. When it introduces the iPhone 17, Apple Intelligence is sure to be a big part of it. What Apple needs to do is show and tell us why we should care. Slim down all the iPhone 17 phones The iPhone 17 Air is one of the rumored models Apple may introduce later this year, and after spending time with the Samsung Galaxy S25 Edge, we've only become more excited about it. However, while a new, thinner iPhone model will be welcome, where Apple could really jump ahead of the competition is to reduce the thickness and the weight across the entire range, using techniques learned from the Air, rather than only in one, special model. What we're looking for is the iPhone 17 to be suitably different to the competition and for Apple to stand out again, after several years of iPhone models which look and feel very similar to each other. The iPhone 17 Air should be a big step in the right direction, but Apple would win more attention by doing something similar with the rest of the series, just in a more modest fashion. Make all the iPhone 17 models look and feel substantially different to before, not just one of them. Be careful with the iPhone 17's price Our final point is, unfortunately, the one which is least likely to happen. For the last few years Apple has kept the cost of its iPhone models the same as before, when other brands such as Samsung have increased prices. Along with the iPhone's strong residual value, the fixed price has made it less of a major financial decision for many to upgrade, even if the hardware may not truly represent a huge jump forward. There's every chance the iPhone 17 will be more expensive than the iPhone 16 series, potentially due to increased production costs, new technologies, and the impact of tariffs introduced by the U.S. government. Any increase in price will make potential upgraders think twice, and may also mean newcomers look more closely at the best new phones released by the competition when it's time to buy a new one. Even though Apple has held off increasing prices for a few years, if the cost of the iPhone 17 is more than the iPhone 16, it's sure to generate headlines, and with them the reputation (in the minds of normal people outside of the tech space) of being the 'expensive' choice. A higher price will impact new sales and upgrades, and if at all possible Apple needs to keep increases low, or avoid any entirely. Will any of it happen? The good news is we've not been unreasonable with any of this, and almost everything we've listed has already been linked to the iPhone 17 through rumors and speculation. All it needs is for Apple to follow through when the iPhone 17 arrives, and we'll have one of the most exciting and compelling new iPhone announcements in years. Apple is expected to announce the iPhone 17 series later this year, with September or October likely dates, based on its previous announcement events. We will learn more about iOS 19 during WWDC 2025 in June, and the software will be fully released to the public with the iPhone 17.
