Highlighting the brilliant upgrades on the iPhone 17 Pro and iPhone 17 Pro Max duo

Here are the notable upgrades on the iPhone 17 Pro and iPhone 17 Pro Max duo.

Aluminum frame

The iPhone 17 Pro will use an aluminum frame, instead of the titanium frame on the iPhone 15 Pro and iPhone 16 Pro, or the stainless steel frame on the iPhone X to iPhone 14 Pro lines.

The back of the iPhone 17 Pro and iPhone 17 Pro Max duo will have a new design combining aluminum and glass. Specifically, there will be a glass back in the logo area, integrated into the overall metal frame, according to a source from Majin Bu.

Rectangular camera cluster

The iPhone 17 Pro and iPhone 17 Pro Max duo will have a large rectangular camera cluster with rounded corners.

However, the arrangement of the 3 rear lenses is still kept in the same triangular shape as before, but the flash will be placed on the far edge of the camera cluster instead of in the middle like previous generations. It is still unclear whether "Apple" applies this design for aesthetic or functional reasons.

Better scratch-resistant screen

The iPhone 17 Pro series will be equipped with a new anti-reflective coating, which increases scratch resistance compared to previous generations.

It's unclear whether Apple will adopt Gorilla Glass Armor technology like the Samsung Galaxy S24 Ultra, but the descriptions match Corning's latest technology.

Bigger battery

The iPhone 17 Pro Max model will have a slightly thicker design, allowing for a larger battery to improve battery life.

According to some predictions, the body thickness of the iPhone 17 Pro Max will increase to 8.725mm, compared to 8.25mm of the iPhone 16 Pro Max.

Apple is said to have tested 7.5W reverse wireless charging technology for the iPhone 17 Pro, allowing the device to wirelessly charge other Apple products such as AirPods and Apple Watch.

A19 Pro Chip

The iPhone 17 Pro will be equipped with the new generation A19 Pro chip by Apple, manufactured based on TSMC's third-generation 3nm process.

Performance and power efficiency are expected to see significant improvements over the previous generation.

Custom Wi-Fi 7 chip

All 4 iPhone 17 models will be equipped with Apple's own Wi-Fi 7 chip, instead of using Broadcom's chip as before.

Citing industry sources, analyst Ming Chi Kuo said that this year's iPhone 17 models will all use Apple's own Wi-Fi chips. According to Kuo, in addition to the cost factor, switching to an in-house Wi-Fi chip will help improve connectivity across all Apple devices.

Previously, analyst Jeff Pu also predicted that only the Phone 17 Pro and Phone 17 Pro Max duo would use the Apple-designed Wi-Fi 7 chip, but it seems that the plan has changed.

According to Qualcomm, the Wi-Fi 7 chip can reach maximum speeds of more than 40 Gbps, up to four times faster than Wi-Fi 6E.

24MP selfie camera

The iPhone 17 series will feature a 24MP front camera, a significant upgrade over the 12MP camera on the iPhone 16, according to Ming-Chi Kuo.

With 24MP resolution, captured images can retain sharpness even when heavily cropped, providing more flexibility in post-editing.

48MP Telephoto Camera

In addition to the redesigned rear camera cluster, the iPhone 17 Pro series will have a 48MP telephoto camera, instead of 12MP like on the iPhone 16 Pro.

According to Mr. Kuo, the telephoto camera on the iPhone 17 Pro Max model is 1/2.6 inches in size, an improvement over the 12MP 1/3.1 inch on the iPhone 16 Pro.

12GB RAM

Initially, 12GB RAM was rumored to be reserved for the iPhone 17 Pro Max model only, but it was later reported that the iPhone 17 Pro would also get this upgrade.

The increase in RAM improves Apple Intelligence performance as well as multitasking. Currently, all iPhone 16 models have 8GB of RAM.

Improved cooling system

According to some leaked news, the iPhone 17 generation will have internal design changes to help dissipate heat better.

However, according to Instant Digital (China), Apple's upcoming iPhone 17 Pro models will use vapor chamber cooling technology to improve heat dissipation.

The iPhone 17 generation is expected to be launched by Apple in September 2025, according to the company's annual tradition. The 2025 iPhone models are expected to include: iPhone 17, iPhone 17 Pro, iPhone 17 Pro Max and iPhone 17 Air.
