- It is rumored that the iPhone 17 has a 120Hz promotion screen
- According to reports, the iPhone 17 Pro and Pro Max will have three 48mp cameras
- The folding iPhone could inherit an air technology from iPhone 17 and cost $ 2,000
This could be a great year for iPhone updates, because together with a new design for most iPhone 17 models and talk about a completely new phone in the form of the iPhone 17 AIR, we are also listening to numerous updates of potential specifications.
Mark Gurman of Bloomberg, who has proven to be generally reliable for Apple’s information in the past, has detailed (through Phonerena) several updates waiting for the iPhone 17 series, including the presence of a promotion screen on the iPhone 17 Base.
That would mean that its update rate could reach 120 Hz, which is twice the 60hz of the iPhone 16, and is in line with what the iPhone 16 Pro series offers, along with most Android phones.
A higher update rate can cause animations and displacement to seem softer. But with the promotion, the update rate could also fall much lower than the 60Hz in which the iPhone 16 always runs, which could help preserve the battery life when a high update rate is not needed, and would allow the visualization features and waiting for Apple’s always active screen to work on the phone.
It is worth noting that this is not the first time we hear about a 120Hz screen for the iPhone 17 base, but listening to this Gurman adds credit to the claim.
Gurman has also echoed another statement, namely that the iPhone 17 Pro and the iPhone 17 Pro Max will have three 48mp rear cameras, which would mean an update for the current teleobjective camera of 12MP. Once again, we have already heard this elsewhere, but listen to it again, and from such a sources, it makes it even more likely.
A folding success
Finally, Gurman has thrown some light on the long -standing folding iPhone, claiming that this will be launched next year, with a design similar to the Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 6 and many of the same technologies as the iPhone 17 Air.
It is not clear exactly what technologies does not refer, but we imagine that it could be similarly thin and that some similar commitments can have, such as only one rear camera.
Apparently, the folding iPhone is sold for around $ 2,000 (approximately £ 1,540 / au $ 3,170), but Gurman believes that despite a high price, this phone could be a success for Apple.
Said all this, we would continue to be more skeptical of these folding iPhone statements than the information about the iPhone 17 series, since this phone probably further, and we have not heard so much about it.
