9 reasons to get the iPhone 17 (Pro) next month
We don’t have to wait very long for the release of the iPhone 17. The new iPhone will be published next month, in September. But what are the most important improvements of the following iPhones?
1. IPhone 17 Air: the thinnest iPhone ever
There will be no more plus version of the iPhone this year. Apple comes according to rumors with an iPhone 17 Air. This iPhone becomes the thinnest iPhone ever with just about 6 mm thickness.
He also runs on the A19 chip and gets a screen of 6.6 inches. There is a single 48-megapixel camera on the back and a 24-megapixel camera on the front.
2. Promotion and always-on
Promotion was always only available on the pro models. According to rumors, Apple will give this technique with the iPhone 17. As a result, every new iPhone will soon be able to use a refresh rate of 120Hz. You can notice this in smoother scrolling and smoother video display.
Some rumors say that the iPhone 17 and iPhone 17 Air are now also going to get Always on. With that you always see the time on your iPhone while you don’t use it. But some rumors still dispute this.
3. A new design of aluminum
Apple will give every iPhone 17 an aluminum housing. So there will also be no pro versions with a titanium housing. This will soon give the iPhones a uniform appearance.
According to different reports, Apple does this due to a new cooling system in the iPhone. Aluminum has a very good heat supervision. This cooling system is not a new technique, but a ‘Vapor Chamber’. It is a cooling method that is used to remove heat quickly and efficiently. You can often find this technique in (gaming) laptops and graphic cards.
4. Scratch -resistant screen without reflections
According to rumors, Apple has invested heavily in a new coating technique for future iPhone screens. This new technology makes an iPhone screen scratch-resistant and adds a new anti-reflection layer.
5. New camera
Just as with previous devices, the camera of the iPhone 17 becomes one of the main reasons for switching. Since the introduction of the iPhone 11 Pro in 2019, the Pro models are equipped with three cameras on the back as standard.
The iPhone 14 Pro was the first to have a 48-megapixel sensor for the primary wide-angle lens. And with the iPhone 16 Pro, the resolution of the ultra -wide angle lens was boosted to 48 megapixels.
With the iPhone 17 Pro (Max) there will also be an upgrade for the Zoomlens this year. It then goes to 48 megapixel. In addition, the front camera will also receive an update. All devices are expected to receive a brand new 24 megapixel TrueDepth camera. The current front camera has ‘only’ 12 megapixel and that has been the case for years.
6. More memory
The iPhone 17 Pro and the iPhone 17 Pro Max get 12 GB of memory as standard. The iPhone 16 Pro models still have to do with 8 GB RAM. This expansion is primarily an advantage if Apple Intelligence is rolled out here. Almost all functions of Apple Intelligence are played locally on the iPhone 17 Pro (MAX), which requires a lot of computing power and working memory.
7. Biggest (and thinnest) battery ever
The iPhone 17 Pro Max gets a slightly larger battery than the iPhone 16 Pro Max. The iPhone 16 Pro Max has a battery life of 33 hours and a capacity of 4,676 mAh. And according to rumors, the iPhone 17 Pro Max will keep up about 34 to 35 hours with a capacity of 5,000 mAh. The iPhone 17 Pro is said to last approximately 27 hours.
With the iPhone 17 we don’t expect many changes in the battery. But the iPhone 17 Air gets a very thin battery. According to different sources, the iPhone 17 Air will probably get a battery of only around 2,800 mAh.
It remains to be seen whether Apple will implement a few improvements to improve the battery life with the iPhone 17 Air. The new chip will probably be a bit more economical. But whether that is enough to compensate for the smaller battery?
8. Larger screen
The iPhone 16 Pro and iPhone 16 Pro Max had already received a larger screen. At the Pro the screen went from 6.12 to 6.27 inches. And with the iPhone 16 Pro Max from 6.69 inches to 6.86 inches.
With the iPhone 17, Apple is expected to bring the larger 6.27-inch screen to the standard iPhone model. For the iPhone 17 Air there will probably be a whole new screen size.
9. New colors
According to rumors, Apple is planning to release the iPhone 17 in six colors. These are black, white, gray, green, purple and light blue. The completely new iPhone 17 Air is said to be available in black, white, light blue and light gold. The iPhone 17 Pro models come in the colors black, white, gray, dark blue and orange.
