Here’s a recap of the key changes rumored for the iPhone 17 Pro models so far:

**Frame Material:** The iPhone 17 Pro models are expected to have an aluminum frame, a departure from the titanium frame used in the iPhone 15 Pro and iPhone 16 Pro, and the stainless steel frame used in the iPhone X through iPhone 14 Pro. The back of the devices will reportedly feature a new “part-aluminum, part-glass” design.

**Camera Bump:** The devices are anticipated to have a “larger rectangular camera bump” made of aluminum.

**A19 Pro Chip:** The iPhone 17 Pro models are expected to power up with Apple’s next-generation A19 Pro chip, manufactured using TSMC’s newer third-generation 3nm process. As usual, we can expect modest performance gains and power efficiency improvements compared to the current iPhones.

**Apple-Designed Wi-Fi 7 Chip:** At least one iPhone 17 model is rumored to incorporate a Wi-Fi 7 chip designed by Apple, rather than Broadcom.

**Front Camera Upgrade:** All four iPhone 17 models are said to feature an upgraded 24-megapixel front-facing camera, replacing the 12-megapixel camera in the iPhone 16 models.

**Rear Telephoto Camera Upgrade:** An upgraded 48-megapixel Telephoto camera is rumored for the iPhone 17 Pro models, replacing the 12-megapixel camera in the iPhone 16 Pro models.

**RAM Increase:** Initially, an increased 12GB of RAM was rumored exclusively for the iPhone 17 Pro Max, but later, it was also extended to the iPhone 17 Pro. This upgrade should enhance the performance of Apple Intelligence and multitasking. All four iPhone 16 models have 8GB of RAM.

**Dynamic Island Change:** A change rumored exclusively for the iPhone 17 Pro Max is a “much narrowed Dynamic Island,” resulting from Apple adopting a “metalens” for the Face ID system.
