Apple to Launch Four iPhone 17 Models With ProMotion Displays and Record-Thin Air

Analysts foresee uniform 120Hz ProMotion screens, ultra-thin bezels, new Dynamic Island refinements under iOS 26; a lower-cost 17e spin-off is scheduled for spring 2026.

Overview

  • Four distinct iPhone 17 variants—standard, Air, Pro and Pro Max—are expected to arrive around mid-September 2025.
  • Analysts say all models will adopt 120Hz ProMotion OLED screens and uniform ultra-thin bezels that narrow the gap between standard and Pro versions.
  • Exclusive Dynamic Island refinements tied to iOS 26 are predicted to provide software-driven differentiation across the lineup.
  • The iPhone 17 Air is forecast to measure just 5.5 mm at its thinnest point, making it Apple’s slimmest iPhone ever.
  • A second-generation iPhone 17e is scheduled for spring 2026 and will leverage previous-generation OLED panels to offer a more affordable option.
