iPhone 17: The three major new features envisaged by Apple in 2025
While the iOS 26 update has just been announced, the eyes are now riveted on the next generation of Apple smartphones: the iPhone 17. After talking to you of the air modelit’s time to focus on changes to the iPhone 17 compared to the iPhone 16.
A screen finally up to the iPhone 17
The first major evolution would concern the screen of the iPhone 17. Apple would indeed have planned two changes, according to rumors. The first would concern the size of the slab.
Instead of measuring 6.1 inches, as on the iPhone 16 and from the iPhone XR, it would adopt a diagonal of 6.3 inches. A dimension that is not harmless, since it would stick with that of theiPhone 16 pro.
In addition to this extended display, the apple firm would have planned to improve fluidity. The iPhone 17 would indeed benefit from promotion technology, allowing you to benefit from an adaptive refresh rate ranging from 1 Hz to 120 Hz.
As a result, the screens of the iPhone 17 and the iPhone 17 Pro would be identical. A strategy that would allow Apple to rationalize its screen orders with its suppliers.
A recharge up to twice as fast
On the recharge side, the iPhone 17 is also entitled to a substantial boost – just like the rest of the range. An information leak has indeed revealed a recently certified Magsafe charger, and Compatible with IQ 2.2 standard.
Information which is important, since it opens the way to a wireless load power reaching 50 W, or the double compared to iPhone 16 and iPhone 16 pro. The details about the device still show a limitation to 45 W, a choice of Apple which would surely aim to limit the heating.
Despite this clamping, recharge would still be 80 % faster than on the current generation.
A much better quality selfie camera
Finally, the iPhone 17 would benefit from a notable change on the side of the photo part: a new front camera. This one would see his definition doubledthus going from 12 Mpx to 24 Mpx.
The opportunity for Apple to improve an increasingly requested sensor by iPhone users, whether to capture memories or create content for social networks.
This improvement would make it possible in particular to capture more details, while improving photos and videos in low light conditions, and limiting the loss of quality linked to retouching.
Note: this development would also be adopted on the iPhone 17 Air, 17 pro and 17 pro max.
