New Features and Upgrades
The iPhone 17 series is rumoured to run on Apple's A19 Bionic chip, built on 3 nm technology, promising faster performance and improved power efficiency [4]. All models are expected to debut with iOS 26.

For the first time, iPhones may come with up to 12GB of RAM [4]. The iPhone 17 Air is expected to have a 48MP rear camera [5].
Design Changes

Display
The iPhone 17 Air will have a 6.6-inch OLED ProMotion display, and all models may get 120Hz ProMotion displays [5].
