Beyond the specifications, reports suggest notable design changes. MacRumors noted that the iPhone 17 Plus may be smaller than the iPhone 16 Plus, making it easier to handle. Meanwhile, The Information reports that at least one model could shift from titanium to a lighter aluminium frame. As per the Digitimes Asia, Apple is also working on a new ‘anti-reflective’ and ‘scratch-resistant’ display, designed to improve outdoor visibility and durability.
Selfie camera and AI focus
Analyst Jeff Pu, of 9to5Mac mentioned that Apple is testing a 24MP front camera with six elements, up from the current 12MP. That means sharper selfies and better video calls an area where Apple has not made major changes for years. On the software side, the iPhone 17 series is expected to integrate Apple Intelligence (AI) more deeply. With AI already rolling out on current devices, the 2025 line-up is likely to be fully AI-ready.
