According to a Weibo leak from Digital Chat Station spotted by MacRumors, one of the big benefits of buying a “Pro” iPhone is that you get a premium high-refresh rate OLED display for now, but this won’t be the case across the entire iPhone 17 lineup. It could become standard. The outlet points out that Digital Chat Station leaked exact details about the iPhone 15 series’ camera sensor and the iPhone 12’s display panel.
This rumor is a little vague, only that the base iPhone 17 will have a higher refresh rate. But this is based on more specific supply chain whispers we’ve heard in recent months. MacRumors pointed to a February article that suggested Apple would use the same LTPO panel technology that powers Apple’s variable refresh rate “ProMotion” iPhone 16 Pro displays in all of its phones next year. This was later echoed by others, including display supply chain analyst Ross Young in September.
The next iPhone is also expected to replace the base model “Plus” iPhone with the iPhone 17 “Slim” in 2025, and Mr. Young suggested that this will also be equipped with ProMotion. Instead of differentiating with display technology, Apple will equip the iPhone 17 Pro Max with a smaller Face ID sensor and dynamic island cutout, as well as 12GB of RAM on both iPhone 17 Pro sizes and 8GB on the iPhone 17 Pro. It is possible to stratify the lineup in various ways, such as. Standard model and slim model.
All are rumored to have a 24MP front-facing camera instead of the 12MP found in current iPhones, and all may use Apple-designed Wi-Fi/Bluetooth chips for the first time. .
