Apple iPhone 17 Release Date, Rumors, and Features Revealed
The iPhone 17 is expected to be released in the second half of 2025. One of the highlights of this generation could be an iPhone Slim, as it seems Apple will no longer bet on a Plus model.
Rumors have hinted at a premium version of the non-Pro iPhone 17. While all models are expected to maintain the same price point, this iPhone 17 Slim would cost around $1,299. Despite its ultra-thin form factor, it would have the A19 chip, 8 GB of RAM, and two main cameras.
For the 2025 iPhone lineup, display analyst Ross Young believes Apple will offer a pill-shaped cutout on every model. The regular iPhone 17 models will finally have Always-On Display and ProMotion technology.
The iPhone 17 Pro lineup will add a 48MP lens to all of the primary cameras. The iPhone 17 Pro Max will have a tetra prism zoom camera exclusive to the Pro Max. Apple is planning a mechanical aperture for the iPhone Pro, allowing users to manually add a shallow depth-of-field effect to their photos.
The A19 family of chips will power the iPhone 17 lineup. The A19 Pro chip will use a new TSMC technology for improved efficiency. The iPhone 17 will also feature Wi-Fi 7 support.
Apple has started developing iOS 19, which has a codename of Luck. Apple Intelligence will continue to play a big part in iOS for the foreseeable future. Features expected to be available on the iPhone 17 models include Writing Tools, Image Playground, Memories in Photos, Clean Up tool, and improved Siri.
This is everything we know about the iPhone 17 so far. Apple will announce the lineup in a year, so we’ll be watching for more leaks.
