As Apple’s annual September “Awe Dropping” event approaches—set for September 9, 2025, at Apple Park—we’re buzzing with anticipation for the iPhone 17 series. A wave of leaks and analyst insights has painted a picture of what could be one of Apple’s most innovative lineups yet. From a sleek new model to performance boosts, here’s a roundup of the key rumors circulating.
Models and Lineup
The lineup may include the iPhone 17 (6.27-inch display), iPhone 17 Pro (6.27-inch), iPhone 17 Pro Max (6.86-inch), and a new iPhone 17 Air—rumored as Apple’s thinnest device at about 5mm, possibly replacing the Plus model. The Air might feature a single rear camera for its slim profile.
Design Updates
Expect subtle refinements: the Air with a full-length camera bar and titanium-aluminum alloy for durability. Pro models may have an aluminum frame, rectangular camera bump, and new colors like orange/copper, purple, or green. A smaller Dynamic Island via metalens technology and anti-reflective, scratch-resistant glass could enhance all models.
Performance Specs
The standard and Air models are tipped for an A19 chip, with Pros getting the A19 Pro on a 2nm or 3nm process. RAM could hit 12GB on Pros for better AI and multitasking, versus 8GB elsewhere. Wi-Fi 7, Apple’s custom 5G modem (possibly Air-exclusive), and vapor chamber cooling may improve efficiency.
Camera Improvements
Pro variants might boast three 48MP rear sensors (main, ultra-wide, telephoto) with enhanced zoom, plus a 24MP front camera. The Air could stick to a single 48MP lens. Variable aperture and dual video recording are also rumored for Pros.
Display and Battery
All models may adopt 120Hz ProMotion LTPO OLED displays for smooth performance and always-on features. The Pro Max could be thicker for a larger battery, with reverse wireless charging and Qi 2.2 support across the line.
Release and Pricing
Preorders are expected soon after the event, with a release around September 19. Pricing remains speculative, potentially starting above $1,000 for Pros due to tariffs.
