If you purchase an independently reviewed product or service through a link on our website, BGR may receive an affiliate commission. In just a few months from now, Apple will unveil the iPhone 17 series. After a year of rumors and gossip from all over the world, there are still contradictory reports and last-minute leaks that are leaving us with some suspense ahead of the official reveal. Whatever the case, there are plenty of reasons to expect major design changes on the iPhone 17. These are the biggest rumored changes we're anticipating. Today's Top Deals XGIMI Prime Day deals feature the new MoGo 4 and up to 42% off smart projectors Best deals: Tech, laptops, TVs, and more sales Best Ring Video Doorbell deals Dynamic Island changes This is the most controversial rumor so far. While at first it was expected that Apple would make the Dynamic Island smaller for the iPhone 17 Pro models, display analyst Ross Young says the company won't make changes to this year's models, as the iPhone maker has no plans add Face ID components under the display. Now, Weibo leaker Digital Chat Station says Apple will introduce a redesigned Dynamic Island on every iPhone 17 model. At the moment, it's unclear what the new design would look like. However, it seems these might be software changes instead of the actual hardware. Bigger iPhone 17 models Following the slight increase in the size of the displays on the iPhone 16 Pro and iPhone 16 Pro Max, rumors suggest the iPhone 17 will feature a 6.3-inch display, and the iPhone 17 Air will feature a 6.6-inch screen. While a Plus model would've had a 6.9-inch screen size comparable to the current Pro Max size, it seems Apple decided to make this ultra-thin device slightly smaller. Thinner bezels Weibo leaker Digital Chat Station also believes all iPhone 17 models will have bezels as thin as the ones on the iPhone 16 Pro models. However, it's unclear if Apple plans to offer the same display technologies on the 17 Pro and base models. ProMotion and Always-On Display For the first time since Apple added ProMotion and Always-On Display technologies to the Pro models, Apple plans to add these features to the base model. Some rumors suggest only ProMotion will make its way to the iPhone 17 instead of AOD, or that Apple plans to add a higher static refresh rate to the base model. Still, it seems Apple might not consider these technologies worthy of being exclusive to the Pro models, as it uses other features to differentiate the devices. New materials Apple is reportedly planning to change the materials it uses for different iPhone models. According to the latest rumors, this is what's coming to the new iPhones: iPhone 17, iPhone 17 Pro, and iPhone 17 Pro Max: Aluminum finish with glass. iPhone 17 Air: Titanium and glass. If these rumors are accurate, it would mean the breaking of a pattern introduced with the iPhone X, which is when the higher-end iPhone started having a more 'premium' finish while the base models would have a simpler one. We'll have to wait to see how Apple is going to explain these changes. After all, if the company regretted using titanium, it wouldn't continue to use it on the iPhone 17 Air. Camera bar Forget about the cooktop-like design on the iPhone Pro models. According to rumors, the iPhone 17 Air and the Pro models will rock a new camera bar design. The LiDAR Scanner and the flash will in turn be on the right side of the camera module. Meanwhile, it seems the base-model iPhone 17 will continue to offer the same design as the iPhone 16, making it less enticing than the Air or Pro models from a design perspective. Lower Apple logo One of the latest iPhone 17 design change rumors comes from leaker Majin Bu. They believe Apple will lower the placement of the Apple logo due to the new camera bar design. The leaker offered a first look with the MagSafe coil next to the new logo placement. While it won't make a huge difference since most people put a case on their iPhone as soon as it's out of the box, it's interesting to see Apple tweaking this design element.

As fans and analysts dive into early reports, the upcoming device is a potential game-changer in the premium smartphone space. From design upgrades to innovative features, the iPhone 17 is shaping up to redefine user expectations. With Apple's history of blending sleek aesthetics with cutting-edge technology, anticipation is reaching new heights. The tech community is closely watching every move, hint, and leak—eager to see what surprises this flagship might hold.

Pre-orders could begin immediately after the official unveiling, and if Apple sticks to its traditional timeline, the iPhone 17 series may go on sale around September 19, 2025. iPhone 17 expected specifications A repositioned logo In contrast to the earlier generations, the Apple logo would now be located on the lower part of the rear. In addition, a new version of the Apple Magsafe charger would enable faster Magsafe wireless charging for the 17-inch Pro models. Apple is using aluminum frames again There are rumors that the iPhone 17 Pro variants may return to using an aluminum frame. This would be a significant change because, whereas the prior phones had titanium frames, the new 17 is anticipated to have a partially glass and aluminum design. In addition to this, there have been some previous leaks regarding the phone's display. Display According to a recent report by analyst Ross Young, the iPhone 17 will have a 6.27-inch display, the same size as the iPhone 16 Pro's. According to the most recent leaks, the iPhone 17 will have a 6.27-inch screen instead of the previous 6.12-inch one. Camera Two vertical rear cameras set in a pill-shaped camera bump will continue to resemble the iPhone 16 in the regular iPhone 17 model, which is not anticipated to have a similar design modification. Colorways According to reports, Apple is exploring new purple and green hues for the next generation of iPhones, the 17th model. Apple is leaning toward purple, and just one of the new hues will be introduced to the roster. Processor Every iPhone in the line would now have a refresh rate of 120 Hz. The new display would be available throughout the entire lineup, along with the speedier A19 CPU chip and an enhanced 24 MP selfie camera. Optimization of Software According to Apple, AI-based software improvements will actively tap into user experience data and ensure the user has a battery life that can easily last the entire day. In addition, Apple has demonstrated its intention to employ a high-density battery to give the phone a longer life. According to a recent discovery, the battery's silicon construction, rather than graphite, enables the maker to fit around 15% more energy into the same area as ordinary rechargeable battery packs. With such an innovation, Apple could increase the phone's battery life in such a compact and thin form factor. iPhone 17 expected price in India iPhone 17 – Rs 79,900 iPhone 17 Air – Rs 89,900 iPhone 17 Pro – Rs 1,19,900 iPhone 17 Pro Max – Rs 1,44,900

Yep, another leak says iPhone 17 will get a bigger display
Once again, the base iPhone 17 is rumored to get a larger display than the iPhone 16 base model. This potential upgrade has been in the rumor mill for months now, but now, yet another rumor out of China corroborates it, so it's getting more and more likely. Reputable tipster Digital Chat Station is now sharing on the Chinese social media website Weibo that the base iPhone 17 model may feature a 6.3-inch display. This is up from the 6.1-inch display on the iPhone 16 . Digital Chat Station is a tipster and leaker with a good track record about Apple. Meanwhile, last month, Counterpoint Research VP Ross Young also said the iPhone 17 is likely to feature a 6.3-inch screen. Currently, here are the expected iPhone 17 series display sizes: The iPhone 16 series, for reference. | Image Credit – PhoneArena Meanwhile, there aren't any big upgrades, apart from the display, in the rumors about the base iPhone 17 . Reportedly, it will keep the same (or very similar) design to previous models, despite the fact that the rest of the series may feature a camera island redesign. Rumors indicate the iPhone 17 will keep the same A18 chip and 8GB of RAM. Reportedly, it may get a 120Hz display refresh rate (finally!) and a new 24MP front camera, which would also be notable upgrades over the 60Hz display refresh rate and 12MP front camera on the iPhone 16 . However, the main attraction would be the iPhone 17 Air , which would be a super-slim model, if rumors are to be believed, set to rival the Galaxy S25 Edge. The iPhone 17 Pro and Pro Max may also have a new design and some notable upgrades. The iPhone 17 will have to face the Galaxy S25 and the yet-unannounced Pixel 10 for the title of the best flagship, but 'vanilla' edition. I personally think that with the rumored bigger display, I'd be very inclined to get it: 6.3 inches seems like the perfect and balanced size - not too big, not too small, and the phone would be ideal for someone who doesn't necessarily use all the Pro-features on a daily basis.

Apple iPhone 17: Key Design Upgrade Promised In New Leak
Apple's next big release, it's thought, will be the iPhone 17 series in September (expected date here), and a new leak suggests that in at least one important way, the new regular iPhone will be different from the current one. Apple iPhone 16: the iPhone 17 may feature a bigger, better display. This year looks like being a year of big design changes including a new slim iPhone, longer-lasting batteries, a thicker-than-ever iPhone 17 Pro Max and more. Now, according to a new report from Digital Chat Station, a leaker on Weibo who had accurately come up with Apple information previously, the display on the iPhone 17 is about to get bigger. Right now, the iPhone 16 display measures 6.1 inches, while the iPhone 16 Pro screen is 6.3 inches. It seems the iPhone 17 screen will be enlarged to match the Pro model at 6.3 inches. The new report chimes with one in May from analyst Ross Young. At the time, it seemed to suggest that not only will the display be bigger, but that it could finally mean the regular iPhone would see ProMotion technology — where a dynamic refresh rate balances smoother viewing while conserving battery life where possible — would come to a non-Pro iPhone for the first time. Since then, it's been suggested that while there will be a change in display refresh rate, it will simply move from the current 60Hz to a 120Hz screen, without the dynamic changes of ProMotion. That's a shame, because ProMotion is tremendous, and is one of the reasons the iPhone 16 Pro and others have always-on displays. Still, Apple has always said it's a Pro feature. If you're thinking of upgrading from iPhone 16 to iPhone 17 then, yes, you'll need a new case. The iPhone 16 Pro with 6.3-inch display is fractionally larger in every direction compared to the iPhone 16, so current cases wouldn't fit. Mind you, do you want your brand-new phone crammed into a year-old case, anyway? According to other rumors, there's another way the front of the iPhone 17 will differ from the iPhone 16: the front-facing camera is expected to change from 12-megapxiel to 24-megapixel resolution.

iPhone 17 just tipped to get bigger — now more Pro-sized
When the base iPhone 17 arrives later this year, it might be a disappointment for people who prefer more compact phones. A new rumor claims the screen size for the standard iPhone will be getting an increase, following in the footsteps of the current Pro model that debuted last fall. According to regular leaker Digital Chat Station, the iPhone 17 is getting a bump from 6.1-inches to 6.3-inches. the same size as the iPhone 16 Pro. "I mentioned before that there are two new 6.3 small straight screens in the next generation in China, including the iPhone17 screen size has become 6.27/6.3," Digital Chat Station wrote on Weibo, based on a machine translation. Last year, Apple bumped up the screen size on the Pro models, but left the base iPhone 16 alone. The iPhone 16 Pro jumped from 6.1 to 6.3 inches while the iPhone 16 Pro Max increased from 6.7 to 6.9 inches. So far we believe that the iPhone 17 Pro and iPhone 17 Pro Max will retain the sizes of their iPhone 16 counterparts. It's not a big bump in iPhone 17 screen size, but does continue the trend of smartphones growing over the last couple of years. The DCS rumor seems to confirm a previous one from display analyst Ross Young who forecast the same size for the iPhone 17 and iPhone 17 Pro screens last month. Outside of a size increase, the iPhone 17 panel should improve in other ways, some reports claiming that iPhone 17 will feature a ProMotion display. That's Apple's branding for screens with faster refresh rates, a feature currently reserved for the Pro models. Korean publication ETNews also reports that all iPhone 17 models will get 120Hz displays this year. Get instant access to breaking news, the hottest reviews, great deals and helpful tips. Assuming Apple sticks with its usual release schedule, we should see the iPhone 17 in September when Apple typically announces the next generation of iPhone.
