After the iPhone SE 4 in the spring, we’ll have to wait until the start of the 2025 school year to discover Apple’s new smartphones, aka the iPhone 17. And for this generation, the Apple firm is planning several exciting developments that can be clearly convincing. Users change their model. Well-known analyst Jeff P has also spilled the beans on the Air and Pro versions.
iPhone 17 Air with sophistication
Let’s start with the alternative to the Plus version: the iPhone 17 Air. Reported by Macromers On this October 18, 2024, Jeff P mentioned the important development dedicated to this model: “A noticeable new design compared to previous models.” With the name Air, everything suggests that Apple will follow in the footsteps of the MacBook Air. It should also go close to Kings of Fence’s iPad Pro M4 at Apple in 2024.
As for the rest of the tech sheet, the analyst follows up on previous rumors about the iPhone 17 Air:
iPhone 17 Pro
The analyst also took time to discuss the improvements introduced on the iPhone 17 Pro compared to the previous generation. Again, Jeff follows the predictions of other informants, such as the famous Mark Gorman and Ming-Chi Kuo.
It thus gives birth to a 24 MPx front sensor and a 48 MPx telephoto lens, as well as the A19 Pro chip that will benefit from the same engraving precision (3 nm) as the A18 Pro. So the 2nm processors with the iPhone 18 Pro and A20 Pro chips will wait until 2026.
On the RAM side, the amount will increase from 8 to 12 GB, which is necessary to take advantage of the more advanced features of Apple Intelligence. Note that some informants believe that only the iPhone 17 Pro Max will be eligible.
Jeff also strongly believes that the Dynamic Island will be slimmer on the top-end model, especially thanks to the smaller sensors for Face ID.
Other leaks also speak of a new button, combining the action and volume buttons.
