It seemed that the iPhone 17 had to make it without an important improvement, but according to new rumors that is not the case anyway. This feature is about!
iPhone 17 processor
Apple provides the iPhone with a completely new chip almost every year. With the iPhone 16 we saw the introduction of the A18 and the A18 Pro chip, the A17 and A17 Pro chip appeared a year earlier. The new processor is one of the most important changes in the iPhone, because the device has longer support for new software versions. It is precisely this improvement that the iPhone 17 reportedly had to miss.
Rumors predicted for a long time that the basic model of the iPhone 17 would run on the A18 chip. We already know that processor from the iPhone 16 and the iPhone 16 Plus, so that the regular iPhone would not get a new chip this year. The iPhone 17 Air, iPhone 17 Pro and the iPhone 17 Pro Max are provided with an A19 or A19 Pro chip. Now it appears that this improvement also comes to the iPhone 17, because the device is said to be running on an A19 chip.
A19 chip
Apple analyst Jeff PU predicted a few months ago that the iPhone 17 would get an A18 chip. He is coming back to that now, because in a new message he shares that the entry-level model still gets an A19 chip. That is good news, because that means that the iPhone 17 does not miss this important improvement. According to PU, both the iPhone 17 and the iPhone 17 Air will receive the new A19 chip.
With the iPhone 17 Pro and the iPhone 17 Pro Max, this will be the A19 Pro chip according to PU. In any case, it seems certain that all iPhone 17 models are provided with an A19 chip. Conflicting rumors are about the processor of the iPhone 17 Air, making it not yet clear whether the phone will receive an A19 or an A19 pro chip. The new processor is in any case an important improvement for the iPhone 17, because all versions will receive new updates up to the same year.
Release of the iPhone 17
The release of the iPhone 17 is getting closer and closer, Apple traditionally presents the new devices in September. That month the company releases four new iPhones and we know for sure which functions will come to the devices. Especially for the iPhone 17 Pro and the iPhone 17 Pro Max, expectations are high. The processor is not the most exciting improvement there, which is precisely the new design of the iPhone 17 Pro (Max).
The Pro models get a much wider camera island and are no longer manufactured from titanium. In addition, the front camera gets an important improvement with all iPhone 17 models, which is a 24-megapixel camera for the first time.
