Apple has made the screen of the iPhone larger in recent years, but goes one step further with the iPhone 17. These are the expected dimensions!
iPhone 17 screen
Bad news if you are a fan of smartphones with smaller displays, because Apple is said to be planning to make the screen of the iPhone 17 even bigger. The company has gradually increased the screen dimensions of the iPhones in recent years. Where the iPhone 13 mini still had a 5.4-inch display, that is now 6.7 inches with the iPhone 16 Pro Max. The standard models have had a 6.1-inch screen since 2020.
According to rumors, this will change with the iPhone 17. The entry-level model of the iPhone will probably get a 6.3-inch display, which is slightly larger than the screen of the iPhone 16. Previously, Ross Young, expert in the field of displays, shared similar expectations for the screen of the iPhone 17. For a smaller screen you will be designated on the iPhone 16th in 2025.
Larger displays
The new screen size of the iPhone 17 is not completely surprising. With the iPhone 16 Pro, Apple made similar changes in 2024. Where the iPhone 15 Pro had a 6.1-inch screen, it became a 6.3 inch display with the iPhone 16 Pro. The same screen is coming to the iPhone 17 this year, which means that the regular iPhone and the Pro model get the same screen dimensions again for the first time since 2023.
The displays of the iPhone 17 Air and the iPhone 17 Pro Max do get different dimensions. It is expected that the completely new iPhone 17 Air will get a screen of 6.6 inches. With the iPhone 17 Pro Max, that will be a 6.9-inch display, as we also saw with the iPhone 16 Pro Max last year. Only the screen of the regular iPhone therefore becomes a stroke larger in 2025.
Release of the iPhone 17
In addition to the larger screen, Apple is making many more changes with the iPhone 17. According to rumors, the new iPhone is finally getting promotion, due to an improved refresh rate of 120Hz. At the front we see another improvement, because the phone gets a 24-megapixel front camera. With the iPhone 16, that is still a 12-megapixel camera, making the iPhone 17 much sharper photos and videos.
We don’t have to wait long for the iPhone 17, because Apple traditionally announces the new iPhones in September. That month, Apple presents the iPhone 17 series, Apple Watch Series 11 and the Apple Watch Ultra 3. Then we also know for sure which new functions are coming to the iPhone 17 and how large the screen actually becomes. Do you not want to miss any announcement?
