The iPhone 17 lineup could be a strong cycle for Apple, driven by a new design for the iPhone 17, AI processing, a new slim model that will replace the iPhone Plus, and more, according to Haitong Intl Tech Research analyst Jeff Pu.
The analyst expects the iPhone 17 to feature a new design for its appearance/casing, upgrades to the Pro model camera, more DRAM for Pro models, a much narrowed Pro Max Dynamic Island (thanks to metalens), and faster chips.
Here's a look at the lineup Pu foresees for 2025...
iPhone 17 ● Display: 6.1" ● Processor: A18, N3E or A19 N3P ● DRAM: LPDD5 8GB ● Front camera: 24MP, 6P ● Rear camera: 48MP 7P, 12MP 5P ● Face ID: Structured light ● Casing: Aluminium (a more complex design)
iPhone 17 Slim ● Display: 6.6" ● Processor: A18, N3E or A19 N3P ● DRAM: LPDD5 8GB ● Front camera: 24MP, 6P ● Rear camera: 48MP 7P, 12MP 5P ● Face ID: Structured light ● Casing: Aluminium (a more complex design) ● Other: Slim design
iPhone 17 Pro ● Display: 6.3" ● Processor: A19 Pro, N3P ● DRAM: LPDD5 12GB ● Front camera: 24MP, 6P ● Rear camera: 48MP 7P, Periscope 48MP 1G+3P, 48MP 6P ● Face ID: Structured light ● Casing: Aluminium (a more complex design)
iPhone 17 Pro Max ● Display: 6.9" ● Processor: A19 Pro, N3P ● DRAM: LPDD5 12GB ● Front camera: 24MP, 6P ● Rear camera: 48MP 7P, Periscope 48MP 1G+3P, 48MP 6P ● Face ID: Structured light, Metalens ● Casing: Titanium
Notice that the Pro models are predicted to have 12GB of RAM and a Periscope 48MP 1G+3P lens, up from the expected Periscope 12MP 1G+3P lens on the iPhone 16.
