iPhone 17 series that Apple is set to reveal at its September 9 media event will showcase one of the most significant design transformations in iPhone history. Based on various rumors and leaks, Apple will launch the 5.5mm iPhone 17 Air next week, marking its slimmest iPhone to date, and serving as a successor to the iPhone Plus model. While the iPhone 17 Air is expected to be a head-turner, it will reportedly come with several drawbacks that may be harder to accept, including a single-lens camera on the rear and a reduced battery capacity. Buyers seeking the pinnacle of the iPhone 17 experience will likely prefer the pricier iPhone 17 Pro or iPhone 17 Pro Max.
The iPhone Pro lineup provides Apple’s most advanced hardware and software features annually, with the Pro Max model occasionally receiving special functionalities. A recent leak from a trustworthy Chinese source, initially noted by MacRumors, outlines some features expected in the iPhone 17 Pro and iPhone 17 Pro Max this year.
As reported by Instant Digital, the iPhone 17 Pro variants will support enhanced screen brightness for extended durations throughout the summer. The Pro models will also sustain higher frame rates during gaming for longer sessions. Enhancements will also be made for shooting 4K/60fps video outdoors. Additionally, the iPhone 17 Pro models are anticipated to provide the most extended battery life in any iPhone. If the battery claim holds true, then the iPhone 17 Pro Max should surpass its direct predecessor in battery life evaluations.
