Powered by the A19 Pro chip with 12GB RAM, offering better performance and efficiency compared to the A18 Pro in the iPhone 16 Pro.

Apple is expected to launch the new iPhone 17 series in September, with several upgrades over the current iPhone 16 series. This year, the iPhone 17 series is said to feature a rebranded lineup, including the iPhone 17 Air instead of the iPhone 17 Plus and iPhone 17 Ultra instead of the iPhone 17 Pro Max. This hints Apple may move towards more premium positioning to justify ‘Ultra’.
If the reports are accurate, the iPhone 17 Pro would be the best value for money due to its performance, triple camera, AI features, and new design, but will it be a significant upgrade over the iPhone 16 Pro? Here’s what the leaks indicate.

The Apple iPhone 16 Pro features a 6.3-inch OLED display with ProMotion, and the iPhone 17 Pro may feature the same display. While the iPhone 16 Pro features a Titanium+Glass body, the iPhone 17 Pro may offer an aluminum+glass design, making it lighter.
