This week has stirred excitement among tech enthusiasts with fresh rumors about the iPhone 17 lineup, primarily driven by Jeff Pu, an analyst connected to Apple’s supply chain in Asia. Even though the iPhone 16 series is yet to be officially unveiled, speculation about the iPhone 17 models typically starts circulating one and a half years prior to their release. According to Pu’s insights shared with Haitong Research, the iPhone 17 Pro and Pro Max are expected to feature 12GB of RAM. This is a notable increase from the 8GB present in both the iPhone 15 and anticipated iPhone 16 Pro models.
Distribution of RAM across the iPhone 17 lineup is rumored to be as follows: the standard iPhone 17 and its Slim version will maintain 8GB, while the iPhone 17 Pro and Pro Max will be boosted to 12GB. In addition to the RAM upgrade, the iPhone 17 Pro Max is rumored to feature a redesigned Dynamic Island. This component is expected to be significantly narrower, attributed to a smaller “metalens” that will be installed for the Face ID system. If true, this will mark the first reduction in size for the Dynamic Island since it debuted with the iPhone 14 Pro.
As the release date approaches, predictions about the iPhone 17 lineup are becoming more frequent. Noteworthy changes rumored for the Pro models include an aluminum frame, a departure from the titanium frames of previous models, and an exciting array of color options anticipated for the upcoming series. Overall, the excitement around the next generation of iPhones continues to build as we edge closer to Apple’s annual announcement event.
