Although there are still a few months to officially present the new generation of iPhone, less and less is missing, and that is synonymous with rumors. Along these lines, the latest reports, such as the one we detail today, promise that the future iPhone 17 will not go unnoticed, and its screen will adopt a series of changes that will completely change the perception of said terminal.
And, according to a fairly safe source within the screens sector, the standard model of the iPhone 17 The size of your panel will increase For the first time in years, and would be on par of the pro models of the latest generations. All this without the need to make the leap in terms of price.
Bigger screen on iPhone 17
Ross Young, Display CEO Supply Chain Consultants and one of the most respected filters in the technological world, has confirmed that the iPhone 17 will have a screen of 6.27 inchesa growth with respect to 6.1 inches of the iPhone 16. This new size will match that of the current iPhone 16 PRO, which suggests that Apple is redesigning its base range to offer a more premium experience. And it is not just another rumor, since Young has a very reliable history of screens.
This change is especially interesting because the standard model of the iPhone is usually the best selling of each generation. While the first foci are always taken by the pro models, especially among the most fans, over time it is the base model that leads the sales lists. That is why Apple seems to be working on improving this model, to offer a Better content displaygreater comfort when writing and a more attractive experience in general, both for entertainment and for productivity.
In addition to confirming the screen increase in the standard iPhone 17, Ross Young has also advanced the dimensions of the other three models that will be part of the family. The rumored iPhone 17 Air, which is emerging as the replacement of the iPhone 16 Plus, will have a panel of 6.55 inches. This device promises to be the thinnest iPhone in history and could become the big surprise of the September event. On the other hand, the Pro models will maintain the current sizes: 6.27 inches for the iPhone 17 Pro (size that would now share with the base model) and 6.86 inches for the iPhone 17 Pro Max, which will continue to be the largest of all.
In this way, Apple continues with its idea of reducing more the gap between the standard iPhone and the Pro range and this time will do it through the screen size. Of course, as always happens with Apple, nothing will be official until Tim Cook takes the stage in September. However, this rumor promises a lot, taking into account that we talk about great prestige sources.
Therefore, the iPhone 17 could become the model with Better value for money of its generation. If the screen increase is confirmed and the current price line is maintained, we would be facing a much more complete and attractive iPhone for the general public. Apple knows very well where to put the focus, and it seems that this year, the great star will not be the most expensive model, but the most balanced.
