iPhone 17 Leaks Are Already Here — it is worth upgrading?
Sneak peek at iPhone 17: razor‑slim Air edition, A19 / A19 Pro chips, full ProMotion OLED across all models, and big camera upgrades—launch Sep 2025,
According to widely circulated rumors, the iPhone 17 series is shaping up to be a major leap in Apple’s flagship lineup. All four models are expected to run on the efficient A19 Bionic chip (with the Pro/Pro Max models using the more powerful A19 Pro, both based on TSMC’s N3P 3 nm process), supported by LPDDR5X RAM—8 GB on standard and Air models, 12 GB on Pro variants to better support Apple Intelligence features
The entire family is rumored to adopt 120 Hz OLED ProMotion displays, bringing smoother scrolling and Always‑On functionality to even the non‑Pro models, while a smaller Dynamic Island powered by metalens Face ID tech could reduce bezels, we expect slight improvements from the iphone 16's dynamic island.
On the imaging front, leaks suggest a new 48 MP main rear sensor on base models, a 24 MP front-facing camera across the lineup, and a triple 48 MP cameras back (with periscope telephoto up to 8× zoom) on the Pro Max variant , and like we all know , the iphone cameras are always two steps ahead of other brands and competitors mainly samsung, but on this one we expect something even better!
The iphone 17 will support up to 35 W USB‑C PD , not the change that you quite expect after a year of waiting, in fact, Apple isn’t chasing Xiaomi’s 240 W speeds. Expect faster, safer wireless charging at 25W
And as promised, the new reverse wireless charging feature is out on the premium versions ( iphone 17 pro and pro max) it allows your smartphone to act as a power source, enabling it to wirelessly charge other devices, such as earbuds, smartwatches, or even another smartphone, in my opinion , it's not really a wow factor that deserves all this hype, as we expect Slower Charging Speeds and fast battery drain. But who knows , it can be handy.
launch prices and final thoughts
So, now to the important part, the base model of the 17th version is expected to cost around 799$ coming with a modest 6.27" LTPO display, A19 chip and 8GB RAM
the iphone 17 pro will cost around 1099$ getting a 4 giga bytes upgrade of RAM (12 GB) , and an enhanced camera system,
in the meanwhile , the iphone 17 pro max will come with a bigger screen size 6.86" , same ram specs as the pro, and an advanced camera with 8× optical zoom , if it was up to me , who gives a shit about zooming , might be a wow factor for some people though. you know what's more wow than the 8x zoom? the whopping 1249$.
In my opinion , this iphone edition does not deserves this much hype, with these costs and almost no improvement (slight one) from the 16 edition ,i sure expected more than this seeing that the competitors are releasing beast phones for half the price literally, well , let's see how it apple will handle the backlash! let me know if you liked the article, really appreciate u reaing this, have a good day!
