iPhone 17 will be coming soon
It has been a year since Apple announced the iPhone 16 series. The phone got many new functions, but also missed a number of important improvements. Apple will change that with the iPhone 17, because according to rumors it gets much better than the iPhone 16. Are you curious about what long -awaited features you can expect? We put them under each other!
1. New design
Apple has made few changes in the design of the iPhone in recent years. That was also the case with the iPhone 16, where only the new colors and the moved camera lenses made adjustments to the design. Are you looking for an iPhone that really looks different? Then the iPhone 17 series will be much better, because Apple provides a number of devices with a completely new design.
With the iPhone 17 Air, Apple is releasing a completely new device for the first time in years. It will be Apple’s thinnest smartphone ever, with a ‘thickness’ of only 5.5 millimeters. The housing of the iPhone 17 Air is redesigned, where you can also choose from a series of new colors. With the design of the iPhone 17 Pro (Max) we also see major changes, with a wider camera island and an aluminum finish.

2. Strongly improved battery
Does your iPhone not make it to the end of the day? In that case it is time to switch to a new iPhone soon, because the battery of the iPhone 17 will be much better. According to recent rumors, almost all devices receive more battery capacity than previous iPhones. That means that the battery is growing, which leads to a longer battery life of the iPhone. For example, the battery capacity in the iPhone 17 Pro is no less than 19 percent higher compared to the iPhone 16 Pro.
The battery of the iPhone 17 and the iPhone 17 Pro Max also become larger than we saw earlier at the iPhone 16 series. The iPhone 16 lasts until 22 hours when playing videos, with the iPhone 16 Pro that is 27 hours and with the iPhone 16 Pro Max you even do up to 33 hours. This will be much better with the iPhone 17 series, especially in combination with the more energy-efficient A19 Pro chip. So you have to put the next iPhone on the charger much less often.

3. More camera functions
Apple has hardly adjusted the front camera of the iPhone after the iPhone 11. Since 2019, all iPhones have had a 12-megapixel front camera. That is finally changing with the iPhone 17 series, because the front camera will be much better this year. All new iPhones will receive a 24-megapixel front camera this year. That means that you can make photos and videos in much higher quality.
Do you regularly carry video calls with your iPhone? Even then the improved front camera is good news, because the conversations then have a higher image quality. With the iPhone 17 Pro and the iPhone 17 Pro Max, the cameras at the rear also get better, because these devices get no fewer than three 48-megapixel cameras. In addition, with the phones you can probably zoom in up to 8x without loss of quality.
