- The iPhone 17 could get a larger screen, according to new rumors.
- A 6.1 -inch jump is rumored to 6.27 inches
- Bevels are expected to become smaller
We are approaching the expected September 17 launch, and the last unofficial filtration that emerges suggests that the screen will grow in size compared to iPhone 16, thanks mainly to reduced bezels.
According to the Ross Young industry analyst, Apple’s next flagship phone will have a screen that measures 6.27 inches from corner to corner, which is a small but remarkable increase of 6.1 inches in the current model.
As reported by 9to5google, several other sources have also indicated the same update in recent months, which adds an additional layer of credibility to the rumor. As for the iPhone 17 Pro and Pro Max, they are expected to have the same screen sizes as their predecessors, so 6.3 inches and 6.9 inches respectively.
That leaves the air of the iPhone 17, which is rumored that it has a screen size of 6.7 inches. There is no current model that we can compare this, but apparently it will replace the iPhone 16 Plus, which has the same screen size of 6.7 inches.
Rumors so far
We have heard a lot about the iPhone 17 in recent months, including the rumor that the iPhone base model will finally get an update to 120 Hz promotion technology, which means softer animations on the screen and support for an always active screen.
Pro and Pro Max models are leaning for a rather significant redesign in the back, although it does not seem that this renewal is extended to the iPhone 17 base, which will instead adopt a family aspect.
In the context of tariff policies in constant change of the United States, it remains to be seen what Apple can do with the price, and there is a persistent talk that we will have to pay more for the iPhone 17 than for the iPhone 16.
Meanwhile, we have heard that Apple could be changing to iOS (and its other software platforms) to version 26 this year, so that they coincide with 2026 next year. However, it seems unlikely that the iPhone series obtains an increase in similar number.
