New information from China suggests that the standard iPhone 17 could feature a larger display than the iPhone 16. The rumour, which has been circulating for months, is gaining further support from recent reports.
According to reliable tipster Digital Chat Station, who shared the information on Chinese social platform Weibo, the standard iPhone 17 will likely have a 6,3-inch display, marking a significant increase from the iPhone 16's 6,1-inch display. In addition, Counterpoint Research vice president Ross Young had already highlighted the possibility of a 6,3-inch display for the new model last month.
The expected display sizes for the iPhone 17 range are summarised below:
- iPhone 17: 6,3-inch display
- iPhone 17 Air: 6,6-inch display
- iPhone 17 Pro: 6,3-inch display
- iPhone 17 Pro Max: 6,9-inch display
As for the rest of the design, rumours suggest that the standard iPhone 17 will retain the features of the previous design, while the rest of the range may introduce a new “camera island”. Reports also suggest that the iPhone 17 will continue to be powered by the same A18 chip and will feature 8GB of RAM.
In terms of features, the main upgrade appears to be the display's refresh rate, which is expected to rise to 120Hz, alongside an improved 24MP front camera, compared with the iPhone 16's 60Hz display and 12MP camera. According to rumours, the iPhone 17 Air promises a particularly slim design, aiming to compete directly with the Galaxy S25 Edge.
Finally, the Pro and Pro Max versions of the iPhone 17 may also receive a refreshed design with further technological improvements, highlighting Apple's intention to continue upgrading the iPhone range.
