The iPhone will be entitled, as every year, to a renewal of its range. During his traditional conference dedicated to his smartphones in September 2025, Apple will present the iPhone 17.
An expected evolution of the firm foot, while for the iPhone 16, the improvements had been made at least, especially in terms of global design. Apple had focused its communication on the new characteristics of its operating system, iOS and artificial intelligence.
Therefore, in 2025, the company intended to shake things, and several important innovations would be in the program.
An iPhone 17 “Slim/Air”
The rumor is not new, but it has grown over the months. From the fall of 2025, Apple would plan to offer a new iPhone model whose main feature would be the best of the range.
Clearly, the company would take the idea that Samsung had when offering the Galaxy S25 Edge. But the supposed delicacy of the “thin” or “air” iPhone “would not be without sacrifices. The battery must be a notch under other models.
In addition, Apple could also include the C1 chip, inaugurated with the iPhone 16. This chip, the fruit of the acquisition of Intel assets, allows Apple to also control the part of the network.
A design inspired by Google Pixel
Completing the square block on the left side of the iPhone, Apple could come and operate a small revolution in the design of its smartphone … and approach what Google does in its pixel.
In the back, the block dedicated to the various photo sensors could be folded and become rectangular. This would finally allow Apple to have a stable device when it is flat on a table.
An anti-reflective and anti-scratch screen
As for Galaxy S24 and Galaxy S25, Apple could offer, on the iPhone 17 Pro and the iPhone 17 Pro Max, a new screen coating. This would reduce reflexes, as well as scratches.
Because if OLED generalization already allows you to benefit from more light, the screen remains perfect whenever it is in direct sun or under light.
Generalization of “pro motion”
Reserved for iPhone “pro” since its arrival with the iPhone 13 Pro, pro motion technology allows an adaptive cooling speed of 10 to 120 Hz. The full range of the iPhone 17 would benefit this time. This results in better fluidity, for example, when reading an article on the web.
But it is also a way of having the “always illuminated” screen to show basic information such as time, while preventing autonomy from melting like snow in the sun.
Photo sensors for “Pro”
What happens if Apple finally got rid of the teleobjective of 12 megapixels on the iPhone “Pro” and the 12 megapixel sensor in the front? Apple could offer excellent improvements on the photo side on iPhone 17 Pro and 17 Pro Max.
The front sensor would go from 12 to 24 megapixels, while the teleobjective would reach 48 megapixels with an X5 zoom. What clearly differentiates the “classic” iPhone from the very high, while the iPhone 16 had reduced the edge from this point of view.
iOS 26 expected firm
With the iPhone 17, Apple will also offer iOS 26, the new version of its mobile operating system. And like Android 16, the interface goes a lot, it changes a lot.
If everything is not yet completely fixed, it is transparency that should have priority with liquid glass, a water bubble in almost the entire interface. It has been the greatest evolution of iOS for several years.
Towards a maximum price for the iPhone 17?
The drives were pushed, the generalized inflation … uncertainties remain at the price of the next iPhone. Apple could decide on a widespread increase in the price, leaving the sacrosan price of the exit under 1,000 euros. But given Donald Trump’s decisions, more American customers could drink.
