A new rumor today offers a detailed look at what to expect from next year’s iPhone 17 lineup. The lineup will reportedly include four new models, including the all-new form factor “iPhone 17 Slim.” It also appears that Apple could finally address one of the most common display complaints of the iPhone lineup…
The rumor originates from Ice Universe on Weibo, a source that has previously leaked accurate details about upcoming iPhone features. This week, the account posted a chart with a full breakdown of the iPhone 17 lineup. According to the account, here’s what the iPhone 17 lineup will look like:
- iPhone 17: 6.27-inch LTPO display
- iPhone 17 Slim: 6.65-inch LTPO display
- iPhone 17 Pro: 6.27-inch LTPO display
- iPhone 17 Pro Max: 6.86-inch LTPO display
According to this rumor, each iPhone 17 model will use an LTPO (Low-Temperature Polycrystalline Oxide) display. Theoretically, this means that the entire iPhone 17 lineup can offer ProMotion support with up to 120Hz refresh rates for the first time. Historically, only the “Pro” and “Pro Max” models have supported ProMotion.
Elsewhere, the rumor says the iPhone 17 and iPhone 17 Slim will use the A19 processor and have 8GB of RAM, while the iPhone 17 Pro and iPhone 17 Pro Max will use the A19 Pro with 12GB of RAM.
