- The iPhone 17 could get a larger screen, according to new rumors
- A 6.1 inch jump to 6.27 inches is supposed
- Glasses should become smaller
We get closer to the planned launch in September of the iPhone 17, and the last unofficial leak to emerge suggests that the screen will grow in size compared to the iPhone 16 – thanks mainly to the shrinking glasses.
According to the analyst of the industry respected Ross Young, the next flagship phone of Apple will have a screen measuring 6.27 inches of corner in the corner, which is a small increase but notable of 6.1 inches on the current model.
As 9TO5GOOGLE reports, various other sources have also indicated the same upgrade in recent months, which adds an additional layer of credibility to rumor. As for the iPhone 17 Pro and Pro Max, they should have the same screen sizes as their predecessors, therefore 6.3 inches and 6.9 inches respectively.
This leaves the air of the iPhone 17, which would have a 6.7 -inch screen size. There is no current model to which we can compare this, but it will apparently replace the iPhone 16 Plus, which has the same display size of 6.7 inches.
Rumors so far
We have heard a lot on the iPhone 17 in recent months, including a rumor that the iPhone base model will finally get an upgrade to 120 Hz promotion technology, which means animation and more fluid screen support for an always activated display.
The Pro and Pro Max models are underway for a fairly large overhaul on the back, although it does not seem that this overhaul will extend to the basic iPhone 17 – which will rather adopt a familiar look.
In the context of American pricing policies constantly evolving, it remains to be seen what Apple is able to do with prices, and there is a persistent conversation that we will have to pay more for the iPhone 17 than for the iPhone 16.
Meanwhile, we have heard that Apple could move iOS (and its other software platforms) to version 26 this year, to correspond to 2026 next year. However, it seems unlikely that the iPhone series gets a similar number bump.
