Overview

  • Apple has confirmed its iPhone event for September 9 at Apple Park, with coverage expecting four models: iPhone 17, a new ultra‑thin iPhone 17 Air, iPhone 17 Pro and iPhone 17 Pro Max.
  • Reports point to 120Hz ProMotion LTPO displays across the entire range, A19‑series chips on TSMC’s 3nm process, and higher memory on upper‑tier models, though Apple has not detailed specs.
  • Pro variants are widely tipped to adopt a horizontal camera bar with three 48‑megapixel rear sensors, while all models are said to gain a 24‑megapixel front camera.
