9 Reasons to wait for the iPhone 17 Next Year
Apple’s iPhone development roadmap spans several years ahead, and the company constantly works with suppliers on multiple iPhone models simultaneously. This is why we sometimes get leaks about upcoming features long before their launch.
The iPhone 17 series is no different, and we already have an idea of what to expect from Apple’s smartphone lineup for 2025.
If you’re planning to purchase the iPhone 16 this year or are curious about what’s coming, here are 9 expected features for the iPhone 17 series, likely launching in September 2025.

Other possible features include an aluminum frame, an A19 chip, a 5G modem designed by Apple, and an improved front camera.
- New screen sizes
Apple is also expected to introduce a larger 6.27-inch screen size to the standard iPhone model, while the iPhone 17 Plus may adopt entirely new screen dimensions.
- 120 Hz refresh rate
Apple intends to expand ProMotion to all iPhone models in 2025, allowing all devices to achieve a 120 Hz refresh rate for smoother scrolling and enhanced video quality when needed.
Previously, only the Pro models in the iPhone lineup featured this functionality.
- Wi-Fi 7 chip
Apple’s premium 2025 models are expected to be equipped with a Wi-Fi 7 chip designed by Apple for the first time.
Wi-Fi 7 support will allow data transmission and reception over the 2.4 GHz, 5 GHz, and 6 GHz bands simultaneously with a compatible router, resulting in faster Wi-Fi speeds, lower latency, and more reliable connections.

- 48 MP telephoto lens
The iPhone 17 is also expected to feature a 48 MP rear camera, enabling it to capture more detail in photos.
- 24 MP selfie camera
According to a rumor, the iPhone 17 lineup will include a 24 MP front camera with a six-element lens.
This new resolution will maintain image quality even when cropped or zoomed, while capturing more pixels for finer details.
The upgrade to a six-element lens should also slightly improve image quality.
- Scratch-resistant and anti-reflective screen
According to a rumor, the iPhone 17 will have an anti-reflective screen that is more scratch-resistant.
Although the new iPhone 16 Pro models feature the latest generation of this screen, it is said that the outer glass on the iPhone 17 will have a highly durable anti-reflective coating, offering even better scratch resistance.
- More memory
At least one model in Apple’s iPhone 17 lineup will come with 12 GB of RAM.
This increase will enhance multitasking on the iPhone, while also providing additional resources for Apple Intelligence features that require large language models to be stored in memory.

- A19 processor
Apple typically upgrades its iPhones with faster and more efficient chips every year.
While we don’t expect the iPhone 17 series to feature next-generation 2-nanometer chips, it is likely that the A19 chip will be built on an improved 3-nanometer process.
The iPhone 17 Pro and iPhone 17 Pro Max are expected to include the A19 Pro chip, while the iPhone 17 and iPhone 17 Air may feature the standard A19 chip.
