iPhone 17 launching next month: Price, display, camera and all we know so far

Apple's young iPhone 17 serial publication is simply weeks aside from debut with the set in motion date likely to be in the second week of September. Ahead of Apple's biggest hardware launch of the year, we have a lot of leaks and rumors abou the new devices. While four devices are expected to receive some exciting changes this year, the highlight of this year's Apple event will likely be the vanilla iPhone 17 variant which could be the most complete standard iPhone model in decades. 

Let's take a look at everything we know about the device so far.

iPhone 17 display: 

The biggest complaint with the standard iPhone 16 variant last year was the prescence of a 60Hz display while 120Hz displays have become common in even budget and mid-range phones these displays. 

If leaks are to be believed, Apple is set to resolve these complaints with the iPhone 17 which could feature a bigger 6.3 inch  display(compared to 6.1 inch display on iPhone 16) which could leverage the same panel from iPhone 16 Pro models last year. 

The iPhone 17 could featurea an LTPO OLED ProMotion 120Hz display, meaning it could go from 1-120Hz based on the task running on the device. Compared to the last generation, the iPhone 17 could see a 30 perecent increase in brightness and longevity. 

iPhone 17 processor: 

iPhone 17 is expected to come powered by the new A19 chipset based on TSMC's 3nm process and is expected to offer improved performance and efficiency compared to the A18 silicon on the iPhone 16. The phone could continue to have 8GB of RAM which is the bare minimum needed for running Apple Intelligence related tasks. Meanwhile, the iPhone 17 Pro lineup is expected to come with 12GB of RAM this year. 

iPhone 17 design: 

While there will be major design changes to other iPhone 17 models, the standard iPhone 17 is unlikely to see much changes and could come with the same pill shaped camera layout on the back that houses a dual camera setup. 

As for colour options, the iPhone 17 could come Black, White, Steel Gray, Green, Purple sheens. 

Camera: 

iPhone 17, just like other variants in the lineup, is tipped to get a new 24MP selfie shooter compared to the 12MP sensor on its predecessor. The new camera setup is likely to not only allow for more detail in images but there could also be a feature to allow for more cropping in the images without detail loss.

The rear camera setup on the iPhone 17 is unlikely to be changed with a 48MP primary and a 12MP ultra-wide angle lens likely to follow suit. 

Pricing: 

There is no clarity yet on the pricing of the iPhone 17. Some leaks suggest that the phone could remain unchanged at $799 while others say that it could receive $50 price hike due to rise in internal components for Apple after US government imposed tariffs.
