iPhone 17 ‘leak’ reveals TEN upgrades coming this year – and huge battery life is beaten by even better ‘screen swap’
iPhone 17 ‘leak’ reveals TEN upgrades coming this year – and huge battery life is beaten by even better ‘screen swap’
Published on March 24, 2025 at 07:34 PM
APPLE is cooking up huge design changes for this year's big iPhone release â including tempting tweaks to the battery and screen.
That's according to a list of 10 rumoured features for the upcoming iPhone 17 Pro revealed by Apple watchers.
A new set of iPhones is expected to land later this year â replacing the current batch of iPhone 16 models
Apple is expected to unveil as many as four new iPhonemodels later this year.
The tech giant normally hosts a major event every September to show off its new mobiles.
And this year, we're expecting the lot to include a premium iPhone 17 Pro smartphone, an upgrade on the rumoured iPhone 17.
Now expert Apple blog MacRumors has revealed 10 of the changes we're expecting, including a larger battery.
This will reportedly be made possible thanks to a slightly thicker design.
Last year's iPhone 16 models were hailed for their impressive battery life (including in our iPhone 16 review), but the iPhone 17 Pro could offer even more juice.
Secondly, Apple is reportedly working on a more scratch-resistant screen.
The blog reports that Apple may be creating a new anti-reflective coating for the display that makes it tougher.
So hopefully your screen will stay pristine for longer, giving you better resale value when you're done with it.
Another quirky design change is the claimed move to a rectangular camera bump.
On current iPhone Pro models, there's a raised square on the top-left of its rear casing where the camera lives.
But the iPhone 17 Pro could see this bump stretch right across the back of the handset.
It's still expected to only feature three cameras, keeping the current triangle layout.
However, it would dramatically change how the back of your iPhone looks.
The camera bump could soon stretch all the way across the back of the phone
In terms of cameras, it's rumoured that we'll see an upgraded 24-megapixel selfie camera (up from the current 12 megapixels).
That's in addition to the reported 48-megapixel telephoto camera on the back, which would be an increase from the 12-megapixel zoom lens on the iPhone 16 Pro.
Other rumoured tweaks include a new aluminium frame (swapping away from titanium), an upgrade to 12GB of RAM, better cooling, a more powerful Apple A19 Pro processor, and an Apple-built Wi-Fi 7 chip for connecting to the internet.
So to recap, the 10 features would be:
Bigger battery
Scratch-resistant screen
Rectangular camera bump
24-megapixel selfie camera
48-megapixel telephoto camera
Aluminium frame
12GB RAM
Improved cooling
Apple A19 Pro chipset
Apple Wi-Fi 7 chip
Of course these changes aren't guaranteed â they're simply based on leaks.
And even if Apple is working on these tweaks, its plans could always change in the meantime.
SO WHEN IS IT OUT?
The big question is: when will you be able to get your hands on it?
