Apple is expected to announce its new hardware lineup on September 9, including the iPhone 17, AirPods Pro 3, and updates for the Apple Watch. The iPhone 17 is rumored to feature a larger 6.3-inch screen, improved cameras, and a thinner design.
The phone’s display is predicted to be a 120Hz refresh rate, a significant upgrade from the current 60Hz. The front camera may also see an upgrade to 24 megapixels. Additionally, the iPhone 17 could come in new colors such as purple and green.
In contrast, the Pro models are expected to have more noticeable upgrades on the back of the phone, with a potential switch from titanium to aluminum materials. The iPhone 17 Pro Max is also predicted to see fewer upgrades, with a slightly thicker body that may accommodate a larger battery.
Pricing for the new devices is rumored to be around $800 for the iPhone 17, $1,050 for the Pro model, and $1,250 for the Pro Max. The iPhone Air, a potentially slimmer phone, could replace the Plus model and feature a profile thickness of 5.5 mm.
