Apple is expected to unveil its new iPhone 17 series this week, according to insights from Bloomberg’s Mark Gurman. The new lineup is anticipated to feature several models, including the standard iPhone 17, the ultra-thin iPhone 17 Air, the iPhone 17 Pro, and the iPhone 17 Pro Max. Whether you’re still using an older model like the iPhone 6s Plus or are already enjoying the iPhone 16 Pro Max, many users are eager to learn about the latest advancements that the iPhone 17 will bring.
Gurman indicates that the official announcement is likely to happen during the week of September 8th, with a preference for mid-week days like Tuesday (September 9th) or Wednesday (September 10th) for such events. Historically, Apple avoids announcements on Fridays and pays tribute to September 11th by not scheduling any significant launches on that day. In terms of specifications, the non-Pro iPhone 17 models may utilize the new A19 application processor, while the Pro variants will be powered by the A19 Pro chipset.
Both chips are expected to be manufactured by TSMC using advanced 3nm technology. There are also rumors suggesting that the iPhone 17 will have 8GB of RAM, whereas the Pro models may contain 12GB, promising enhanced multitasking capabilities. The iPhone 17 is likely to showcase a 6.3-inch display, an upgrade from the prior 6.1 inches from the iPhone 16.
Camera enhancements are expected as well, with a 48 MP Wide camera among others for the Pro models. Notably, the iPhone 17 Pro Max may make history with a potential 5000 mAh battery capacity, signifying a significant step up in battery life. Mark your calendars for the week of September 8th, as this is when we could officially see Apple’s iPhone 17 series announced.
