It&#8217;s widely anticipated that the star of the show will be the iPhone 17 series. Market insights suggest there will be four models, though with some structural changes: the standard iPhone 17, the newly introduced iPhone 17 Air, and the Pro and Pro Max. The Air is seen as a replacement for the Plus, designed to highlight a slim profile and large screen, targeting the business and fashion market; meanwhile, the Pro series may put a strong emphasis on camera capabilities and performance upgrades.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full is-resized\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"825\" height=\"550\" src=\"https:\/\/ztylezman.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/08\/ztylezman.com_iphone-17-iphone-17-air-pro-120hz-ios-26.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-850354\" style=\"width:780px;height:auto\" srcset=\"https:\/\/ztylezman.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/08\/ztylezman.com_iphone-17-iphone-17-air-pro-120hz-ios-26.jpg 825w, https:\/\/ztylezman.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/08\/ztylezman.com_iphone-17-iphone-17-air-pro-120hz-ios-26-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/ztylezman.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/08\/ztylezman.com_iphone-17-iphone-17-air-pro-120hz-ios-26-768x512.jpg 768w, https:\/\/ztylezman.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/08\/ztylezman.com_iphone-17-iphone-17-air-pro-120hz-ios-26-150x100.jpg 150w, https:\/\/ztylezman.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/08\/ztylezman.com_iphone-17-iphone-17-air-pro-120hz-ios-26-450x300.jpg 450w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 825px) 100vw, 825px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading has-text-align-center\">iPhone 17 Air: The Thinnest iPhone Ever?<\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p>The hottest rumor making waves lately is that the brand new iPhone 17 Air could be just about 5.5 to 6.25mm thick, making it nearly 30% thinner than the iPhone 16 and potentially the thinnest iPhone ever. Its single-lens module design is reportedly set with a 48-megapixel camera, with the flash positioned at the opposite end for a sleek finish. Sources also suggest that the Air will feature approximately a 6.6-inch OLED screen, utilizing TDDI technology to further reduce thickness. The rumored battery capacity is merely 2800mAh, but there&#8217;s a possibility of introducing new battery materials and proprietary chips to enhance energy efficiency. Even though it&#8217;s positioned as Lightweight Flagship, the Air is expected to sport the A19 chip and 8GB of RAM, with the front camera possibly upgraded to 24 megapixels to emphasize selfie quality.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"603\" src=\"https:\/\/ztylezman.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/08\/ztylezman.com_iphone-17-iphone-17-air-pro-120hz-ios-26-1-1024x603.webp\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-850357\" srcset=\"https:\/\/ztylezman.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/08\/ztylezman.com_iphone-17-iphone-17-air-pro-120hz-ios-26-1-1024x603.webp 1024w, https:\/\/ztylezman.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/08\/ztylezman.com_iphone-17-iphone-17-air-pro-120hz-ios-26-1-300x177.webp 300w, https:\/\/ztylezman.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/08\/ztylezman.com_iphone-17-iphone-17-air-pro-120hz-ios-26-1-768x452.webp 768w, https:\/\/ztylezman.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/08\/ztylezman.com_iphone-17-iphone-17-air-pro-120hz-ios-26-1-150x88.webp 150w, https:\/\/ztylezman.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/08\/ztylezman.com_iphone-17-iphone-17-air-pro-120hz-ios-26-1-450x265.webp 450w, https:\/\/ztylezman.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/08\/ztylezman.com_iphone-17-iphone-17-air-pro-120hz-ios-26-1-1200x706.webp 1200w, https:\/\/ztylezman.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/08\/ztylezman.com_iphone-17-iphone-17-air-pro-120hz-ios-26-1.webp 1536w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">Comparison of Thickness Between iPhone 17 Air and iPhone 16 Pro<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\" data-media-max-width=\"560\"><p lang=\"en\" dir=\"ltr\">iPhone 17 Air Black looks so good <a href=\"https:\/\/t.co\/ovOTNUKEg6\">pic.twitter.com\/ovOTNUKEg6<\/a><\/p>&mdash; Majin Bu (@MajinBuOfficial) <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/MajinBuOfficial\/status\/1942579682538578349?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">July 8, 2025<\/a><\/blockquote> <script async src=\"https:\/\/platform.twitter.com\/widgets.js\" charset=\"utf-8\"><\/script>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading has-text-align-center\">Pro Series: Will the camera module undergo a complete transformation?<\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p>Rumors suggest that the camera module design for the iPhone 17 Pro and Pro Max is set to undergo a major transformation. The new design may feature a horizontal rectangular layout, with three lenses arranged on the left side and the LiDAR sensor alongside the flash on the right, breaking away from the long-standing triangular arrangement. Reports indicate that all camera specs will be upgraded to 48 megapixels, supporting simultaneous recording at 4K 60fps. Additionally, the Pro Max is rumored to uniquely incorporate variable aperture technology (f\/1.4\u2013f\/4.0), rivaling the depth-of-field control of DSLR cameras. The telephoto lens might adopt a four-prism structure, allowing for up to 8x optical zoom while incorporating AI stabilization to enhance telephoto stability. If these rumors are true, it means the Pro series&#8217; imaging performance will take another leap forward.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"1000\" height=\"1000\" src=\"https:\/\/ztylezman.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/08\/ztylezman.com_iphone-17-iphone-17-air-pro-120hz-ios-26-1.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-850358\" srcset=\"https:\/\/ztylezman.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/08\/ztylezman.com_iphone-17-iphone-17-air-pro-120hz-ios-26-1.jpg 1000w, https:\/\/ztylezman.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/08\/ztylezman.com_iphone-17-iphone-17-air-pro-120hz-ios-26-1-300x300.jpg 300w, https:\/\/ztylezman.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/08\/ztylezman.com_iphone-17-iphone-17-air-pro-120hz-ios-26-1-150x150.jpg 150w, https:\/\/ztylezman.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/08\/ztylezman.com_iphone-17-iphone-17-air-pro-120hz-ios-26-1-768x768.jpg 768w, https:\/\/ztylezman.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/08\/ztylezman.com_iphone-17-iphone-17-air-pro-120hz-ios-26-1-450x450.jpg 450w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1000px) 100vw, 1000px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading has-text-align-center\">Screen: Will the entire series be upgraded to 120Hz?<\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p>Multiple supply chain rumors suggest that this year, Apple might break its previous differentiation strategy, equipping the entire iPhone 17 lineup with 1\u2013120Hz ProMotion displays and Always-On Display functionality. The Pro series is also likely to introduce iPad Pro-level textured glass to reduce glare. However, to accommodate a larger sensor and upgraded cooling structure, the Pro models\u2019 thickness may increase slightly to 8.4\u20138.6mm.

The standard version and Air model are likely to feature the A19, while the Pro series will house the A19 Pro. Rumors suggest that the A19 Pro will come with up to 12GB of RAM and a 48-core NPU, achieving a computing performance of 75 TOPS, enabling it to directly support Apple GPT and other local AI models. Additionally, the GPU is rumored to include dedicated ray tracing units, boosting 3D rendering performance by 300%.

The Air is seen as a replacement for the Plus, designed to highlight a slim profile and large screen, targeting the business and fashion market; meanwhile, the Pro series may put a strong emphasis on camera capabilities and performance upgrades.<\/p>\n<!-- \/wp:paragraph -->\n\n<!-- wp:image {\"id\":850354,\"width\":\"780px\",\"height\":\"auto\",\"sizeSlug\":\"full\",\"linkDestination\":\"none\"} -->\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full is-resized\"><img src=\"https:\/\/ztylezman.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/08\/ztylezman.com_iphone-17-iphone-17-air-pro-120hz-ios-26.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-850354\" style=\"width:780px;height:auto\"\/><\/figure>\n<!-- \/wp:image -->\n\n<!-- wp:heading {\"textAlign\":\"center\",\"level\":4} -->\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading has-text-align-center\">iPhone 17 Air: The Thinnest iPhone Ever?<\/h4>\n<!-- \/wp:heading -->\n\n<!-- wp:paragraph -->\n<p>The hottest rumor making waves lately is that the brand new iPhone 17 Air could be just about 5.5 to 6.25mm thick, making it nearly 30% thinner than the iPhone 16 and potentially the thinnest iPhone ever. Its single-lens module design is reportedly set with a 48-megapixel camera, with the flash positioned at the opposite end for a sleek finish. Sources also suggest that the Air will feature approximately a 6.6-inch OLED screen, utilizing TDDI technology to further reduce thickness. The rumored battery capacity is merely 2800mAh, but there's a possibility of introducing new battery materials and proprietary chips to enhance energy efficiency. Even though it's positioned as Lightweight Flagship, the Air is expected to sport the A19 chip and 8GB of RAM, with the front camera possibly upgraded to 24 megapixels to emphasize selfie quality.<\/p>\n<!-- \/wp:paragraph -->\n\n<!-- wp:image {\"id\":850357,\"sizeSlug\":\"large\",\"linkDestination\":\"none\"} -->\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img src=\"https:\/\/ztylezman.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/08\/ztylezman.com_iphone-17-iphone-17-air-pro-120hz-ios-26-1-1024x603.webp\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-850357\"\/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">Comparison of Thickness Between iPhone 17 Air and iPhone 16 Pro<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<!-- \/wp:image -->\n\n<!-- wp:html -->\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\" data-media-max-width=\"560\"><p lang=\"en\" dir=\"ltr\">iPhone 17 Air Black looks so good <a href=\"https:\/\/t.co\/ovOTNUKEg6\">pic.twitter.com\/ovOTNUKEg6<\/a><\/p>&mdash; Majin Bu (@MajinBuOfficial) <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/MajinBuOfficial\/status\/1942579682538578349?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">July 8, 2025<\/a><\/blockquote> <script async src=\"https:\/\/platform.twitter.com\/widgets.js\" charset=\"utf-8\"><\/script>\n<!-- \/wp:html -->\n\n<!-- wp:heading {\"textAlign\":\"center\",\"level\":4} -->\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading has-text-align-center\">Pro Series: Will the camera module undergo a complete transformation?<\/h4>\n<!-- \/wp:heading -->\n\n<!-- wp:paragraph -->\n<p>Rumors suggest that the camera module design for the iPhone 17 Pro and Pro Max is set to undergo a major transformation. The new design may feature a horizontal rectangular layout, with three lenses arranged on the left side and the LiDAR sensor alongside the flash on the right, breaking away from the long-standing triangular arrangement. Reports indicate that all camera specs will be upgraded to 48 megapixels, supporting simultaneous recording at 4K 60fps. Additionally, the Pro Max is rumored to uniquely incorporate variable aperture technology (f\/1.4\u2013f\/4.0), rivaling the depth-of-field control of DSLR cameras. The telephoto lens might adopt a four-prism structure, allowing for up to 8x optical zoom while incorporating AI stabilization to enhance telephoto stability. If these rumors are true, it means the Pro series' imaging performance will take another leap forward.<\/p>\n<!-- \/wp:paragraph -->\n\n<!-- wp:image {\"id\":850358,\"sizeSlug\":\"full\",\"linkDestination\":\"none\"} -->\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img src=\"https:\/\/ztylezman.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/08\/ztylezman.com_iphone-17-iphone-17-air-pro-120hz-ios-26-1.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-850358\"\/><\/figure>\n<!-- \/wp:image -->\n\n<!-- wp:heading {\"textAlign\":\"center\",\"level\":4} -->\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading has-text-align-center\">Screen: Will the entire series be upgraded to 120Hz?<\/h4>\n<!-- \/wp:heading -->\n\n<!-- wp:paragraph -->\n<p>Multiple supply chain rumors suggest that this year, Apple might break its previous differentiation strategy, equipping the entire iPhone 17 lineup with 1\u2013120Hz ProMotion displays and Always-On Display functionality. The Pro series is also likely to introduce iPad Pro-level textured glass to reduce glare. However, to accommodate a larger sensor and upgraded cooling structure, the Pro models\u2019 thickness may increase slightly to 8.4\u20138.6mm. As a trade-off, battery capacity is rumored to be boosted to nearly 5000mAh, particularly for the Pro Max, which could become the longest-lasting iPhone yet.<\/p>\n<!-- \/wp:paragraph -->\n\n<!-- wp:image {\"id\":850359,\"sizeSlug\":\"full\",\"linkDestination\":\"none\"} -->\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img src=\"https:\/\/ztylezman.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/08\/ztylezman.com_iphone-17-iphone-17-air-pro-120hz-ios-26-2.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-850359\"\/><\/figure>\n<!-- \/wp:image -->\n\n<!-- wp:heading {\"textAlign\":\"center\",\"level\":4} -->\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading has-text-align-center\">A19 Chip: Will AI Computing Power Take a Giant Leap?<\/h4>\n<!-- \/wp:heading -->\n\n<!-- wp:paragraph -->\n<p>Market consensus predicts that the iPhone 17 will be equipped with the A19 series chip, utilizing TSMC's N3p 3nm process. The standard version and Air model are likely to feature the A19, while the Pro series will house the A19 Pro. Rumors suggest that the A19 Pro will come with up to 12GB of RAM and a 48-core NPU, achieving a computing performance of 75 TOPS, enabling it to directly support Apple GPT and other local AI models. Additionally, the GPU is rumored to include dedicated ray tracing units, boosting 3D rendering performance by 300%.

The entire series is expected to continue supporting MagSafe and may also be compatible with the new T2 25W wireless charging standard.

As for pricing, rumors suggest that the entire lineup could see an average price increase of about $50; the Air might align with the Plus range in terms of pricing, but the actual prices remain uncertain.
