Apple is expected to hold its iPhone 17 launch event on September 9. What can we expect in terms of features and pricing for the 2025 iPhone lineup? Here’s everything we know so far:
According to CIRP, last year’s iPhone sales were dominated by the base model. The iPhone 17 is likely to be the series’ best-seller as well. It will follow the same design lines as the iPhone 16, featuring the Apple A19 chip, a larger 6.3-inch display, an improved 24-megapixel front camera, and 120Hz refresh rate support. Here are the expected features of the iPhone 17:
6.3-inch 120Hz display
Apple A19 processor
8GB RAM
24 MP front TrueDepth camera
48MP Fusion + 12MP Ultra-wide camera
3600+ mAh battery
128GB, 256GB, 512GB, 1TB storage options
Colors: Purple, Green, Blue, Black, White
Aluminum + Glass design
7.8 mm thickness
Price: $799
This year, the iPhone 17 Plus is replaced by a brand-new ultra-thin iPhone 17 Air. Designed with aesthetics in mind, the 17 Air will be slimmer than ever, sacrificing some battery life and camera capabilities for a futuristic, lightweight form. At just 5.55 mm thick, it will be the thinnest iPhone ever. Apple may introduce its first 5G modem, the C1, in this model. The iPhone 17 Air will feature the same Apple A19 Pro processor as the Pro models, though with a version that has fewer GPU cores. Expected specifications of the iPhone 17 Air include:
6.6-inch 120Hz always-on display
Apple A19 Pro chip
12GB RAM
24 MP front TrueDepth camera
48MP Fusion camera
2900 mAh battery
Apple C1 modem
Colors: Light Blue, Light Gold, Black, Silver
Titanium + Glass design
256GB, 512GB, 1TB storage options
5.5 mm thickness
Price: $949
iPhone 17 Pro and 17 Pro Max
Apple’s Pro models remain the top-tier iPhones this year. The iPhone 17 Pro and 17 Pro Max will maintain the same 6.3-inch and 6.9-inch screen sizes as last year, but many features are updated. The most notable change is the horizontal camera layout, reminiscent of Google Pixel phones. Cameras see major upgrades: the telephoto lens reaches 48MP, and the front camera is now 24MP. Rumors suggest the Pro models will use anti-reflective, scratch-resistant displays. Titanium will be replaced with aluminum for the chassis. Expected specifications of the iPhone 17 Pro / 17 Pro Max include:
