iPhone 17 Rumors: Everything That Could Change the Game (Again)
Ah, the iPhone 17. That combination of numbers that sounds so familiar, yet promises to revolutionize everything all over again. In this article, we dive into the most interesting rumors about the iPhone 17, from its possible release date to the most anticipated models: the iPhone 17 Pro, iPhone 17 Pro Max, and even the mysterious iPhone 17 Air. All mixed with a pinch of chaos, a dose of intuition, and that technical nose that smells like fresh rain.
iPhone 17 Release Date (or so we believe)
If Apple doesn’t decide to reinvent the Gregorian calendar, the iPhone 17 release date will probably be Tuesday, September 9, 2025. As is customary, the pre-sale would start on Friday the 12th, and the first users would be holding their new device on Friday the 19th. Very Apple. Extremely planned. (Insufferably predictable… until they announce it).
What’s new with the iPhone 17: models, design, performance, and more
Confirmed models and others that disappear
Goodbye to the iPhone Plus. Literally. The iPhone 17 Plus will be history. Hello iPhone 17 Air. Ultra-thin, light, almost flying. It sounds like a foldable experiment for what’s to come in the iPhone 18. The base iPhone 17 will be the most affordable in the lineup, although it will arrive late: it’s rumored to be February 2026. Like Tamagotchis… they arrive late, but they arrive.
Performance and battery: more life, fewer excuses
Up to 5000 mAh in the Pro models. Finally! Additionally, an AI integration is expected to optimize both power consumption and performance. To top it off, there will be an internal redesign to increase overall battery life. Good news for those who always run out of battery halfway through the day.
New materials and colors (with a lot of attitude)
Ultralight aluminum for the regular models. Ideal for those seeking lightness. New-style titanium for the Pro and Pro Max. It sounds like a military design (or an expensive coffee maker, you decide). Bold colors like fire orange or copper with personality. There’s even a rumor of a model that would glow in the dark. Apple, be brave.
Screen and front camera: solid improvements (and better selfies)
120Hz displays for everyone, except the iPhone 17e. Goodbye to frustrating differences. New 24 MP front camera. More light, better bokeh, more “likes” guaranteed. As for Face ID, the dynamic island will be taller and thinner. Changes are coming, maybe even with under-display technology.
Rear cameras: 48 MP for all
All rear lenses will have 48 megapixels, including the wide-angle and telephoto lenses. In addition, a periscope-style system with 3x to 6x zoom will be included. Furthermore, a rear “Camera Bar” will be incorporated. Apple and its names… For the most demanding users, the Pro models will start with 256 GB of storage. Not bad.
Chips, RAM, and temperature: unleashed power
A19 chip for the iPhone 17 and A19 Pro for the Pro and Pro Max models. As for memory, there will be 8 GB of RAM for the regular models and 12 GB for the Pro models. A new vapor chamber system for cooling will also be included. It sounds like a spaceship, but it’s real. Even the MagSafe will change its position. The Apple logo might also move. Too much? Maybe. Aesthetic? Without a doubt.
iPhone 17 Prices: Take a breath!
- iPhone 17: from 899 USD
- iPhone 17 Air: 999 USD (same price as the Pro)
- iPhone 17 Pro: from 999 USD
- iPhone 17 Pro Max: 1199 USD (although it could go up to 1299)
Phew! The Air costs the same as the Pro… and it doesn’t have all the Pro’s power. Something doesn’t add up. Still, Apple manages to make you want to buy it anyway. Like when you buy water at the airport: you know it’s expensive, but you buy it anyway.
Conclusion: Revolution or premium makeover?
Everything indicates that the iPhone 17 will arrive with important structural changes, a bold aesthetic redesign, and models like the iPhone 17 Air, which could divide opinions. On the other hand, the iPhone 17 Pro and iPhone 17 Pro Max promise advances in battery, performance, and photography. Ultimately, the iPhone 17 release date could be closer than we think. And you, are you eagerly waiting for one? Or will you stay faithful to your old 13 (which still holds up to everything)?
