In just a few months from now, Apple will unveil the iPhone 17 series<\/a>. After a year of rumors and gossip from all over the world, there are still contradictory reports and last-minute leaks that are leaving us with some suspense ahead of the official reveal.<\/p>\n

Whatever the case, there are plenty of reasons to expect major design changes on the iPhone 17. These are the biggest rumored changes we\u2019re anticipating.<\/p>\n

This is the most controversial rumor so far. While at first it was expected that Apple would make the Dynamic Island smaller for the iPhone 17 Pro models, display analyst Ross Young says the company won\u2019t make changes to this year\u2019s models, as the iPhone maker has no plans add Face ID components under the display.<\/p>\n

Now, Weibo leaker Digital Chat Station<\/a> says Apple will introduce a redesigned Dynamic Island on every iPhone 17 model. At the moment, it\u2019s unclear what the new design would look like. However, it seems these might be software changes instead of the actual hardware.<\/p>\n

\t\tBigger iPhone 17 models<\/p>\n

Following the slight increase in the size of the displays on the iPhone 16 Pro and iPhone 16 Pro Max, rumors suggest the iPhone 17 will feature a 6.3-inch display,<\/a> and the iPhone 17 Air will feature a 6.6-inch screen. While a Plus model would\u2019ve had a 6.9-inch screen size comparable to the current Pro Max size, it seems Apple decided to make this ultra-thin device slightly smaller.<\/p>\n

Thinner bezels<\/p>\n

Weibo leaker Digital Chat Station<\/a> also believes all iPhone 17 models will have bezels as thin as the ones on the iPhone 16 Pro models. However, it\u2019s unclear if Apple plans to offer the same display technologies on the 17 Pro and base models.<\/p>\n

For the first time since Apple added ProMotion and Always-On Display technologies to the Pro models, Apple plans to add these features to the base model<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Some rumors suggest only ProMotion will make its way to the iPhone 17 instead of AOD, or that Apple plans to add a higher static refresh rate to the base model. Still, it seems Apple might not consider these technologies worthy of being exclusive to the Pro models, as it uses other features to differentiate the devices.<\/p>\n

New materials<\/p>\n

Apple is reportedly planning to change the materials it uses for different iPhone models.<\/a> According to the latest rumors, this is what\u2019s coming to the new iPhones:<\/p>\n
