Apple’s upcoming iPhone 17 Pro series may avoid a frame downgrade and instead get a display upgrade. Leaks suggest that both models will use “Low-Dielectric TEE” technology, which improves battery efficiency, maximizes display durability, and enhances overall performance compared to existing display technologies.
A new leak from @Jukanlosreve claims this technology will be used on the iPhone 17 Pro series, while another source, Brake Number via GSMArena, suggests that Apple may equip these phones with a titanium frame. This would contradict earlier rumors that suggested the use of aluminum instead.
The return of titanium is intriguing, especially considering President-elect Trump’s potential tariffs and titanium’s high cost could be reasons for not using it on the iPhone 17 Pro series. However, the exact material used for the frames remains uncertain, with Apple likely to reveal more details closer to the expected release date in September.
While leaks are still unconfirmed, the news of a display upgrade and potentially upgraded materials is exciting for iPhone fans. With more leaks on the horizon, it’s likely that we’ll get even more information about the upcoming devices before their official announcement.
