During the past couple of days, there have been numerous rumors circulating about the new iPhone models, so let’s consolidate them all here. Here are the details:
Starting with the iPhone 17, analyst Jeff Pu from GF Securities mentioned that the iPhone 17 Pro and iPhone 17 Pro Max will feature a rear camera with 48MP resolution, upgraded from the previous 12MP, making all three cameras 48MP in total. Additionally, the front camera will be upgraded to 24MP. Furthermore, the RAM will increase from 8GB to 12GB, and the chipset will be the A19 Pro developed with TSMC’s 3rd Gen 3 nanometer technology.
Jeff Pu also provided information about the possibility of foldable devices. Apple has been back and forth with rumors, indicating that there may be two sizes for the foldable device: a 7.8-inch iPhone and a larger 18.8-inch display. It remains uncertain whether these devices should be categorized as “iPad Giants” or “MacBook Hybrids,” given the touch screen display. The deciding factor may lie in the operating system, with speculation leaning towards macOS.
Looking ahead to next year, the iPhone 18, Jeff Pu suggested that Apple may start using its self-developed modems for all iPhone models starting from the following year. This year, the Apple C1 modem is exclusive to the iPhone 16e and expected to be used in the iPhone 17 Air only. The modem for the iPhone 18 will be a new model, possibly referred to as the C2.
TLDR: Rumors suggest that upcoming iPhone models may feature significant camera upgrades, increased RAM, and the introduction of Apple’s self-developed modems for future models. Foldable devices are also a possibility, with varying display sizes and speculation surrounding the operating system choice.
