iPhone 17 rumors, 25% tariff from a slim ‘Air’ model from 25%

We are still months away from Apple’s latest iPhone’s exhibiting the latest iPhone, which we expect to be in the company’s general September window to launch the next version of the popular line of the smartphone. Meanwhile, a lot of rumors are moving about that the upcoming device, which is probably called the iPhone 17, may look like.

From a re -designed camera module to a slimmer “Air” version of the iPhone 17, there has been a lot of discussion about what the next lineup of Apple will bring. We can also see a fresh blue color option for the pro model.

But the biggest news can be that iPhones get thanks for the tariff. President Donald Trump threatened that Apple phones outside the US would be subject to 25% tariffs, which could deal with $ 200 or more on the prices of the iPhone 17 series if all additional costs were passed with the consumer. We have to wait and see how Apple and CEO Tim Cook respond to this announcement.

And rumors are not only about external appearances; Reports suggest that Apple will also overhaul the form and experience of its software with the launch of iOS 19. All four expected equipment also have rumors about increased RAM.

Here analysts and leckers predict the iPhone 17 lineup.

A slimmer iPhone 17 ‘Air’

One of the biggest rumors surrounds the potential iPhone “Air”, a thin version of Apple’s flagship device that will replace the iPhone Plus option.

According to analysts Jeff Pu and Ming-Chi Kuo, the air may have a 6.6-inch screen, which is slightly smaller than the iPhone 16 Plus and iPhone 16 Pro Max, but still larger than the baseline model. A Bloomberg report of March supports rumors, and note that the iPhone Air may measure 5.5 mm thick. The report also states that the price of the phone will be around $ 900, it will be placed on a par with the iPhone 16 Plus and maintained its place in the iPhone hierarchy.

To dilute a device for Apple, it will need to make a hardware trade-off, and may include the phone camera. According to both Kuo and Bloomberg, it is possible that this version of the iPhone 17 will have only one main camera, without ultravide and 5x telephoto lenses that are staples of Apple’s premium iPhones over the years. This slim iPhone will keep the $ 600 iPhone 16E in the same camp when it comes to cameras, as that phone has only one rear lens. However, the good news is that the selfie camera on the iPhone Air may be boosted; Later on it.

The phone will have A18 or A19-branded chip facility, Pu. This will allegedly match the chip in the baseline iPhone 17. It may also include an apple-developed 5G modem called C1 chip, which was launched at the iPhone 16E.

A high fresh rate across the board

The rumor is that all models of iPhone 17 will have a 120Hz display facility, which will hit the non-ex-model at their current 60Hz refresh rate. This can be a welcome change, as the discrepancy between Pro and non-refresh rates is surprising; When Apple introduced the iPhone 16 and 16 Plus with 60Hz displays, more people were expected in 2024, which was expected more in 2024. This rumor can take update measures-and possibly bringing a display always to the baseline model.

What are we likely Will not done See, a new anti -reflective performance that Apple was allegedly working according to the Madulars. A source allegedly told publication that Apple abolished plans for more scratch-resistant display coating, which could have appeared on the iPhone 17 Pro and Pro Max. This would have created the first iPhones with an anti-reflex screen, giving them a feature that CNET’s Patrick Holland considered one of the best qualities of Samsung Galaxy S25 Ultra. According to macromors, “The Apple display escaped in problems scaring the coating process, and it is not currently a planned feature for the ‌iphone 17 Pro ‌ model.”

Camera upgrade

This camera is not released an iPhone without upgrade, and there are a lot of rumors about what the camera module can look on Apple’s upcoming phone. In January, a leaked image of Majin Boo on X suggested that the phone may have a pill -shaped camera bar, essentially as you find on Google’s Pixel 9 phone. In February, BU followed the CAD render for the iPhone 17 lineup, including horizontal camera bar, as well as large rectangular bars on the iPhone 17 Pro model.

Front Page Tech also shared the iPhone 17 Pro Render in a video in February, depicting a large camera bar that maintains the stacked layout of the lens. A separate video on the iPhone 17 Air shows a small camera bar, with a lens on the left.

In April, Bloomberg reported that “iPhone 17 Pro 16 will look much more than Pro,” by adding, “from the front, the 17 Pro 16 will look similar to the 16 Pro. It is a back camera that looks meaningful.” The latest rumors show that the three-lens camera system of the iPhone 17 Pro will be maintained, but will sit on a new panel which spreads to the width of the phone.

Later in April, BU again posted an image of the alleged iPhone 17 lineup that depicts the broad camera bar that is still configured to the left with a stacked lens.

Not next year, for the 20th anniversary of the iPhone, the design of Apple phones will be “a major shake-up”, says Bloomberg. It includes one (long -rimated) foldable version and a “bold new Pro model that uses more widely of glass.”

Another camera -related rumor is that selfie camera on all iPhone 17 models, including Puni, will be upgraded to 24 megapixels, according to PU. This is a decent collision with the current 12-megapixel front-facing camera on the iPhone 16 lineup, although it is important to remember that more megapixel automatically does not mean better photos. Nevertheless, seeing how fast people rely on their front cameras to record selfies and videos for Ticketkok and Instagram, this will definitely be a welcome progress.

A sky blue iPhone 17 Pro

It is not clear what colors will be included in the lineup of iPhone 17. But in April, BU stated that the iPhone 17 Pro and Pro Max may include a Sky Blue option. In an article, BU wrote that “Sources close to the supply chain confirmed that many iPhone 17 Pro prototypes are created in various colors, with sky blue to the present.”

BU describes Akash blue color, “The iPhone 13 Pro is even more amazing than Sierra Blue, with a brightness and refinement that makes it unmistakable.” (My colleague Jeff Carlson is not very thrilled about this rumor.)

iOS 19 can bring a new look

Regarding what is inside, Apple is allegedly looking to re -create its mobile operating system with the release of iOS 19. According to Bloomberg, it includes “icons, menu, apps, windows and updates the style of the system button.” Sources allegedly told publication that Apple “is working to simplify users to simplify the way they navigate and control their devices,” and that the design borrows from the operating system of the Vision Pro Pro. For example, visionos have more circular app icons and translucent navigation panels. It is possible that what you will see on your future iPhone can mirror this beauty more closely.

The software revamp will reportly extend to the iPad and Mac, so the apple will bring stability to the equipment. Bloomberg noted that it would be the biggest software shakeup since the release of Mcos Big Sur in 2020 and the release of iOS 7 in 2013.

Other possible features

The specialty of the iPhone 17 lineup has gone back and forth on the frame, but Pu has recently suggested aluminum frames to all iPhone 17, iPhone 17 Pro and iPhone 17 Pro Max. He said that the air of iPhone 17 may be external with titanium frame.

Additionally, the iPhone 17 Pro Max may have a narrow dynamic island, thanks to a small face ID sensor. Pu has said that Dynamic Islands on other iPhone 17 models will allegedly remain in the same shape.

In February, Kuo said that Apple swaps the Wi-Fi chips of Broadcom for in-house chips in the iPhone 17 lineup, stating that it would “increase connectivity in Apple devices.” It is not yet clear what it would actually mean, but it would be interesting if Apple’s C1 chip was also with its own Wi-Fi chip.

In April, Tipster Digital Chat Station stated that all phones will come with 12GB RAM, using “large -scale” Apple Intelligence and AI. Digital trend notes align it with the previous suggestions of KUO, which gives some added weight to the rumor. The iPhone 16 lineup tops the 8GB RAM, so it will be a remarkable leap.

We will continue to update this piece as a surface of more rumors, so be sure to follow together.
