Every year, Apple fans around the world eagerly await the fall, when Apple traditionally unveils its new iPhone models of the latest generation. The rumor mill is already churning for 2025, and the iPhone 17 models seem to be particularly exciting. From new designs and technical revolutions to a possible new model: we summarize the hottest leaks and speculations for you.
iPhone 17 Air: The thinnest iPhone of all time
According to insider reports, Apple could open a completely new chapter in iPhone design with the iPhone 17 Air. The thinnest iPhone ever with a particularly slim and light housing and an impressive thickness of just 5.5 millimeters.
To achieve this design, Apple is said to be using an extra-light aluminum frame instead of titanium. Another innovation: the USB-C port could be slightly offset due to the extremely flat design. An unusual, but probably necessary step.
In terms of technology, the new iPhone 17 Air model is expected to feature a 6.6-inch OLED display and a single rear camera. There is also speculation that Apple will integrate its own C1 modem for the first time, which should ensure even more efficient connectivity.
iPhone 17 Pro & Pro Max: New cameras, new cooling system
The iPhone 17 Pro models are also set to receive a comprehensive redesign this year. Particularly striking: the camera module could be arranged horizontally, similar to Google's Pixel series. Apple is probably planning a technical upgrade to a 48-megapixel telephoto lens. It is quite possible that this will finally make high-quality optical zoom possible without any loss of quality.
Further leaks speak of:
- Dual video recording (simultaneous use of front & rear camera)
- Vapor-chamber cooling for better heat dissipation
- 24-megapixel front camera for selfies and FaceTime in unprecedented quality
Technical upgrades in all models
Whether standard, Pro or Air model, the iPhone 17 series is likely to be more powerful overall. The following innovations are likely:
- 12 GB RAM for all models, perfect for new AI functions in iOS 19
- A19 chipset with even more efficiency and performance
- 120 Hz ProMotion display also in the non-Pro models for the first time
- WiFi 7 for more stable and faster connections
iPhone 17 release date: When are the new iPhone models coming?
If Apple remains true to its previous tradition, the iPhone 17 series will be unveiled in September 2025. Until then, there will be enough time for further leaks and exciting revelations.
Conclusion:
The rumors about the iPhone 17 series give hope for real progress, both technically and visually. The rumors about the new Air model, which could establish a completely new product line from Apple, are particularly exciting. We will find out in the fall at the latest whether all these speculations come true. We will of course keep you up to date!
