In the upcoming iPhone 17 series, which is scheduled to be released in September 2025, Apple plans to expand the product line and introduce several new features. We have gathered information about some of the known specifications of the iPhone 17.
Apple annually introduces a new line of smartphones, which has become a tradition. iPhone enthusiasts start gathering information about the upcoming models in anticipation of the release of groundbreaking new features. It’s too early to predict what to expect from smartphone technology in 2025 as there have not been any official announcements from the manufacturer yet. However, some information has been released, allowing us to speculate on upcoming innovations.
In general, we can expect that the iPhone 17 series will offer users improved performance, thoughtful design, and further integration of artificial intelligence into all features. It is hoped that Apple will continue to impress iPhone buyers with its innovations.

Should I buy an iPhone 17
Collected arguments for and against buying an iPhone 17 :
Behind
- There will be a new model that promises to be the thinnest in the iPhone line;
- The 12-megapixel front-facing camera will be replaced by a 24-megapixel sensor;
- As a result of further implementation of AI in iPhone services, new features and functions will appear;
- At least one model in the line will be equipped with a mechanical aperture, which will allow you to adjust the amount of light entering the lens;
- Presumably, the entire line will receive an LTPO OLED display with an adaptive refresh rate of up to 120 Hz, this will give a smoother picture.
Against
- The iPhone 17 will use A19/A19 Pro chips, manufactured using the 3-nm process technology, respectively, the new line will receive an improvement in performance and energy efficiency, but a breakthrough in this area will not happen.;
- The computing power of the new processor for the average user will be imperceptible;
- The cost of new models, especially at the start of sales, is unreasonably high.
Summarizing the above, we can say that the iPhone 17 is worth considering for those interested in the latest technology and who want to take advantage of new features. In this case, people with a smartphone older than version 15 might also want to upgrade to the new model.
In order to fully enjoy all the benefits, users will need an additional 4 GB of RAM. Additionally, we recommend waiting for version 17 if you plan to purchase an iPhone 16, as many users have been disappointed with the specifications of the 2019 models and the limitations of Apple’s intelligent features.
The OLED display with ProMotion technology across the entire range allows users to adjust the refresh rate based on the content they are viewing. Owners of iPhone 17 will appreciate the improvement in front camera, which is the first in several years. A 24C sensor has replaced the 12C sensor in all models of the range, and a variable aperture allows users to control how much light enters the lens, creating more artistic images in some models.
Those who use a smartphone to talk, watch videos, listen to music and take photos simply will not feel a significant difference in computing power, and it will not happen. And the neural network functionality will only occupy the device’s memory and will not bring tangible benefits to the iPhone owner.
Once again, If we take into account the cost, users worldwide anticipate that prices will remain the same from 2024 onwards. However, it is challenging to forecast how the market will evolve in the future. Costs are also influenced by the exchange rate of the dollar, customs duties, and the pricing strategies of vendors. Consequently, it is up to each individual to decide whether it is worthwhile to purchase an iPhone 17 closer to the release date of the new model.
Release date of iPhone 17
Apple does not break with tradition and annually releases new products in mid-September. If the situation with official iPhone shipments does not change, will be able to purchase a novelty not on the first day of the start of global sales. Network retailers and importers will have the new product available in two to three days. Most likely, all the colors and variations of memory sizes will not be displayed at once. Within one to two weeks, you will be able to see the entire product line.
iPhone 17 price
Presumably, Apple will keep prices for the iPhone 17 series at the level of 2024 and they will be similar to the cost of the iPhone 16: the basic version of the iPhone 17 will cost around 799$, and the Pro Max will not exceed 1,199$.
If everything is relatively clear with the basic and Pro models, the new Slim is still a “dark horse”. There are suggestions that the price for it will be higher than ProMax and will be 1,299$. But this is illogical to say the least. Again, according to rumors, the iPhone 17 Slim will have only one main camera and the rest of the specifications are at the level of the base model. If the model is positioned as a replacement for the iPhone Plus, then we can assume that its cost will be 899$.
At the time of the launch of sales of the 16 version, the cost of the basic model was in the range of 125,000-130,000 rubles (128 GB of memory), about 140,000 rubles (256 GB) and 170,000 rubles (512 GB). As the market becomes saturated, the price decreases by 20-30%. However, you should not take these figures as a starting point, as the economic situation may change. It should also be taken into account that the dollar exchange rate in September 2025 will differ from 2024.
iPhone 17 Specifications
Now it’s too early to say what exactly will be in the iPhone 17, but presumably it will be like this :
Review
| Processor | presumably A19 on the 3-nm process technology |
| Memory | 8 GB OF RAM |
| Connection | 2G, 3G, 4G, 5G |
| Screen | 6.27-inch LTPO ProMotion display with adaptive refresh rate up to 120 Hz |
| Body | aluminum |
| Camera | 48 MP+12 MP (main and wide angle), front 24 MP |
| Battery | capacity is not disclosed by the manufacturer |
Processor
Performance optimization in the iPhone 17, of course, will be, but a technological breakthrough will not happen. At the end of 2024, it is expected to launch mass production of the N3P chip from TSMC, which, most likely, will be used in the 17th version of the iPhone.
The model will receive the A19 processor, made according to the 3-nanometer process technology. The performance is quite enough to perform everyday tasks, support games, applications, and work with Apple Intelligence.
AI-based features will be implemented in the operating system iOS 19 which will allow you to improve Siri, improve interaction with ChatGPT and tools for working with videos and photos.
Memory
The base model of the iPhone 17 will retain 8 GB of RAM, which is enough for most users. In combination with the updated chip, this will increase performance and allow you to perform multiple tasks simultaneously.
Connection
The younger iPhone 17 model supports all modern communication standards, including 5G. Wi-Fi 7 supports data exchange in the 2.4 GHz, 5GHz, and 6GHz bands. Its bandwidth can reach up to 46 Gbit/s.
Screen
The display size may increase to 6.27 inches. But the main change is that the iPhone 17, like the Pro version, will get an LTPO OLED screen. The Low-Temperature Polycrystalline Oxide display silicon transistor manufacturing technology allows you to adapt the refresh rate to the tasks you perform in the range from 1 to 120 Hz and at the same time optimize power consumption.
Body
The iPhone 17 still has an aluminum case, just like in the previous version. In the same place, Dynamic Island and the Action Button, which can be programmed for shooting, sound adjustment, and other functions.
Camera
The camera system in the iPhone 17, presumably, will receive an update. The main unit will remain: a 48-megapixel sensor and a 12-megapixel ultra-wide-angle camera. And the 12-megapixel front camera should be replaced by a 24-megapixel sensor. The placement of cameras under each other will also not change. This is due to the fact that Apple plans to introduce augmented reality technologies in the iPhone, and working with these processes requires such a location.
Battery
Apple is expected to continue using its “battery glue” technology, which makes it easier to replace batteries. As for capacity, Apple traditionally does not disclose figures until the last one. There is a high probability that the iPhone will be equipped with a battery of its own production.
