iPhone 17 Pro and Pro Max: Another big news has come for Apple fans – a tremendous leak has surfaced regarding the iPhone 17 series, which states that this time a big change will be seen in both iPhone design and display. And the most interesting thing is that these changes will not be just for the Pro models, but for the entire iPhone 17 lineup.
This leak has come from the well-known tipster Digital Chat Station on the Chinese social media site Weibo, who is often known for hardware leaks of Apple and other brands. He has indicated that this time Apple is working towards making its phones even slimmer and stylish than before.
Now everyone will get a thin bezel display
Till now Apple used to give very thin bezels only in its Pro and Pro Max models, due to which the screen of those phones looked bigger and high-end. But this time the story is different. According to the leak, all four models in the iPhone 17 series – including the iPhone 17, iPhone 17 Air, iPhone 17 Pro and Pro Max – may now come with thin bezels.
This means that what was previously the look of only the expensive Pro variants, can now be found to some extent in the normal iPhone 17 as well. This will bring uniformity in the design and entry-level iPhone users will also get a premium feel.
iPhone 17 Air Pro look but at a lower price
Apple is also going to bring a new variant this time which will be called iPhone 17 Air. This model is being brought to fill the gap between the standard iPhone and Pro models. That is, for those who want more high-end features but do not want to pay the hefty price of Pro Max, it can be a perfect option for them.
In terms of design and size, this model can be as big as the iPhone 16 Pro i.e. about 6.3 inches. Earlier, such a big screen was not seen in the base models of iPhone. Now along with the screen size, the bezels will also become thinner, which will make the screen experience even better.
There will be a change in Dynamic Island
The Dynamic Island feature, which was first introduced with the iPhone 14 Pro, can now take a new form in the iPhone 17 series. According to the report, this time some changes can be made in the UI of Dynamic Island i.e. interface. This could mean that Apple can give it some new touch through software, such as new animations, different interaction or better user experience.
Earlier it was rumored that Apple would probably make the Dynamic Island smaller in the Pro Max model or bring Face ID under the display. But now this report says that the entire interface may look slightly changed. However, there is no confirmed information about this at the moment, so a little caution has to be taken about it.
120Hz display across the entire lineup!
So far, Apple’s 120Hz ProMotion Display was limited to only the Pro and Pro Max models of the iPhone. But now this technology is expected to come to the entire iPhone 17 series. This means that whether you buy the standard iPhone 17 or the new iPhone 17 Air, you will get super smooth scrolling and gaming experience in both.
All iPhone 17 models can now come with LTPO OLED display panels, which will not only support a variable refresh rate of 120Hz, but can also open the way for advanced features like Always-On Display. Now it remains to be seen whether Apple will offer this Always-On feature in non-Pro models as well or not.
When will the iPhone 17 series be launched?
If we look at Apple’s tradition, the company launches its new iPhones every year in September. So if everything goes according to plan, the iPhone 17 series can also be launched in September 2025. As the time approaches, more leaks and information will come out that will tell how these features will work and what will be available in which models.
In the end, it comes down to this
The iPhone 17 series is set to bring a big change. Now everything from design to display will be more premium, more uniform and more future-ready. Users who earlier used to get better screen and high refresh rate only in Pro models, can now see all those features in standard models as well.
Apple is probably trying to make its iPhone not just a phone this time, but a premium experience for every user – whether it is an entry level user or a professional. By giving the same design language and display quality in all four models – iPhone 17, iPhone 17 Air, Pro and Pro Max, Apple probably wants to bring its fans in the same line.
Now we just have to wait for September 2025, when all these things will be officially confirmed. Till then, the excitement will continue in this game of leaks and rumours.
