iPhone 17: Apple would bet on the screen, not on performance
While iPhone 17 air,, 17 pro And 17 pro max have been talking about them for a few months, the standard model remains quite discreet in the microcosm of rumors. Good news: two new leaks have just given some details, between extended display and unchanged performance compared to the iPhone 16.
A larger screen and an unchanged processor for the iPhone 17
To start, Ross Young made a comeback on Twitter/X in a publication dedicated to his paid subscribers. Relayed by WCCFTECHit evokes a 6.27 inch screen for the iPhone 17 – instead of 6.1 inches on the iPhone 16. To put it simply, it would be the same slab as that of theiPhone 16 prologically re -used in 2025 on the iPhone 17 Pro.
In addition to that, this standard model should have the advantage to embark on promotion technology. Reserved so far for pro variations from iPhone 14 pro, it offers an adaptive refresh rate, varying between 1 Hz and 120 Hz.
Result: the iPhone 17 would gain in fluidity, while delivering a much larger display area.
Good news which was quickly tempered by a bad this weekend. The analyst Jeff Pu has indeed stressed that the performance would not evolve with this generation.
According to its information, the iPhone 17 would be satisfied with the A18 chip and 8 GB of RAM – an identical configuration to the iPhone 16. On their side, the iPhone 17 Air, Pro and Pro Max would adopt the A19/A19 Pro and 12 GB of RAM.
Declining performances that may ultimately have consequences for the AI capabilities of this standard model.
