iPhone 17 Leaks: Big Display Upgrade, ProMotion For All, More Revealed In Latest Tip

Apple’s upcoming iPhone 17 series is already making waves months ahead of its expected launch in September. A fresh wave of leaks suggests significant changes across the lineup, with display technology taking center stage. Renowned industry insider Mark Gurman, along with new reports from X tipster Jukanlosreve, has detailed what’s in store for Apple’s next flagship lineup.

ProMotion Finally Coming to Non-Pro Models

One of the most exciting revelations is the introduction of ProMotion technology to the entire iPhone 17 series — not just the Pro models. Until now, Apple has reserved its 120Hz adaptive refresh rate display for the higher-end versions, leaving standard models with a less fluid experience. However, according to Gurman, this will change with the iPhone 17 lineup, giving all four models access to smoother scrolling and animations.

Additionally, Apple is expected to equip all new iPhones with an advanced M14 OLED panel. This next-gen display is said to offer a 30% brightness boost compared to the previous M13 panels while also improving energy efficiency. The upgrade will not only enhance visuals but could also contribute to better battery performance across the lineup.

Camera Upgrades: Three 48-Megapixel Lenses for Pro Models

While the base iPhone 17 is expected to receive only minor camera improvements, the Pro models are in for a major overhaul. Apple is rumored to introduce 48-megapixel sensors across all three rear cameras, marking a first for the iPhone series.

Currently, only the main and ultra-wide lenses feature 48MP sensors, while the telephoto lens remains at 12MP. A triple 48MP system could unlock new photography capabilities, including improved zoom performance, enhanced low-light imaging, and better computational photography features.

iPhone 17 Air: The Ultra-Thin Contender

Another standout model in the lineup is the rumored iPhone 17 Air, which is expected to be Apple’s thinnest and lightest iPhone yet. Gurman suggests that the Air model could be a serious contender, offering a premium design and near-Pro-level specs at a more affordable price point.

“Given its price point, the iPhone 17 will remain a solid offering in the Apple lineup. But if I were springing for something in the $800 range, I’d try to reach another $100 or so and just get the skinny new iPhone 17 Air. You really won’t be losing that much in terms of the specifications, and you’ll be gaining a remarkably thin and light phone (with considerably more screen real estate),” Gurman stated.

With an increasing number of users prioritising sleek design and portability, the iPhone 17 Air could see strong demand, potentially even pulling buyers away from the Pro lineup.

What to Expect This Fall

While the iPhone 17 standard model may not bring revolutionary changes, the series as a whole appears to be setting the stage for a more unified Apple experience. If the leaks hold true, Apple fans can look forward to a brighter, smoother display on all models, major camera upgrades for Pro users, and a stylish new Air variant that could shake up the lineup.

With more leaks expected in the coming months, all eyes are now on Apple’s September event to see if these reports materialise.
