If true, it will be the primary time Apple has supplied ProMotion on a non-Professional gadget.

Apple can be mentioned to be working with Corning on a new anti-glare and scratch-resistant glass for the iPhone 17 lineup.

A report from The Data claims that “at the very least one” mannequin will function a mechanical aperture, which might be new for iPhones however has been seen in a handful of Android telephones thus far.

We don’t know a lot about what chips will energy the iPhone 17 line, however we anticipate the high-end fashions (Professional and probably Slim) will get an A19 Professional, whereas the non-Professional fashions will get both some variant of the A18 or a considerably cut-back model of the A19. Since Apple is anticipated to bump each iPhone 16 mannequin to 8GB of RAM as a result of calls for of Apple Intelligence, rumors have advised Apple will enhance the reminiscence within the iPhone 17 Professional fashions to 12GB.
