The iPhone 17 appears this year, but according to rumors, Apple has canceled a new feature of the smartphone. This improvement does not come to the iPhone 17 Pro (Max).
iPhone 17
Apple is releasing four new iPhones again this year. The iPhone 17, iPhone 17 Air, iPhone 17 Pro and the iPhone 17 Pro Max are expected. The display is improved with almost all models. For example, the iPhone 17 and the iPhone 17 Air receive support for promotion, which means that the Always-on screen comes to the regular iPhones for the first time. This feature was previously exclusive for pro models, but that will change with the iPhone 17.
For the iPhone 17 Pro and the iPhone 17 Pro Max, improvements at the screen are also expected. Possibly the Dynamic Island becomes a blow smaller, giving you more room on the display. That’s not all, because Apple is said to work on a new anti-reflection layer for the screen of the iPhone. That feature would come to the iPhone 17 Pro (Max) this year, but according to rumors that plan has now been gone at Apple.
Fewer reflections on the screen
Do you regularly suffer from reflections on the screen of your iPhone? In that case you are not the only one, because it is a known problem at Apple. The company is working on a solution that has to make the screen of the iPhone 17 Pro (Max) more readable. Now it appears that Apple has postponed the feature, because the production of the new screen is going too slowly for the iPhone 17 Pro (Max). As a result, the Pro models do not receive a new finish, which must prevent reflections on the screen.
The new layer on the screen reportedly not only ensures fewer reflections, but also protects the display better against damage. For example, with the extra protective layer, the screen has fewer trouble with scratches. With the iPhone 17 Pro and the iPhone 17 Pro Max we do not see this feature again. The manufacture of the new displays did not go fast enough to keep the production of the pro models on schedule.
More about the iPhone 17
The iPhone 17 Pro and the iPhone 17 Pro Max have to do without the feature, but it is expected that a later generation of the iPhone will get an anti-reflection layer on the screen. Samsung already has a similar finish on the screen, with which reflections up to 75 percent less are visible. The contrast of the image therefore comes out more clearly, even with bright (outside) light. With the iPhone, the same improvements are expected in the coming.
With the iPhone 17 Pro and the iPhone 17 Pro Max we also see more new features. According to rumors, the iPhone 17 Pro (Max) runs on the A19 Pro chip and the device has no less than 12 GB of memory. The cameras on the front and back of the iPhone 17 Pro (Max) are also improved. Do you want to know more about the new iPhones from 2025? Then read all about the iPhone 17 Pro (Max) here!
