Renders of potential iPhone 17 designs primarily based on earlier leaks
A leaker has damaged from the pack, and is now saying that the core iPhone 17 will follow the already launched A18 chip, whereas the remainder of the road will get chips derived from the A19.
It is usually accepted by the overwhelming majority of leakers that all the iPhone 17 line, together with the iPhone 17, iPhone Air, and iPhone 17 Professional, will boast the A19 chip, with various quantities of RAM.
Now in a brand new notice to buyers, Jeff Pu from GF Securities is recanting one in every of his earlier stories. He’s now going towards each different leaker in saying that the core iPhone 17 will follow the A18 processor discovered within the iPhone 16 lineup.
He is additionally modified his tune on one thing rather less main. He now believes that there is a new lens expertise within the Face ID sensor throughout all the lineup. In a earlier notice, he mentioned that the brand new expertise was solely coming to the iPhone 17 Professional Max.
Additionally barely modified is his predictions for RAM within the lineup. Whereas the iPhone 17 is unchanged with 8GB of RAM, he now believes that the iPhone 17 Air may also have 8GB of RAM versus the 12GB he predicted beforehand. Unchanged is the earlier guess of 12GB within the professional fashions.
Pu’s monitor document is just not stellar. Whereas using the A18 is smart and has precedent within the iPhone 15 lineup, it’s the first report from any supply that’s saying that it will occur once more.
Different extra prolific — and extra traditionally correct — leakers have disagreed beforehand with almost every thing in Pu’s newest notice. As an illustration, a report from a traditionally completely correct show chain leaker mentioned on Could 29 that the iPhone 17 may have a 6.3-inch display. Pu seems to be sticking together with his guess of 6.1 inches.
As with all break from the rumor pack, there’s a specific amount of “me too” rumor reporting within the wake of a dissenting rumor. It stays to be seen what the opposite leakers must say about this batch.
