A look at counterpoint numbers For the first quarter smartphone sale of 2025 Shows that Apple’s iPhone 16 standard model was the best -selling cell phone in the world. It should also have been done with the fact that the device is comparatively attractive and, unlike the earlier generations, comes with the A18 of the current chip technology, Apple. However, this successor cannot live like this with the iPhone 17. Jeff Pu, famous Apple analyst from GF Securities from Hong Kong, has heard that Apple is about to return to the old device policy: the standard model receives SoC from the previous year.
Old technology in iPhone 17?
Accordingly, the iPhone 17 should be equipped with the old A18, which is manufactured in the TSMC 3-Nm process of the second generation (N3E). Even with Rama, it is believed that there is only 8 GB till earlier. Thus Apple will further limit the iPhone 17 from other new models, all of which should receive the new A19. These are particularly thin iPhone 17 Air (A19), iPhone 17 Pro and iPhone 17 Pro Max (more core with each A19 Pro). The third generation (N3P) 3-NM process is used in TSMC, promising a slight power and slightly less power consumption than the previous technique. Apple is currently planning 12 GB instead of 8 GB on claims of RAM, PU.
Apple had separated between its supporters and standard models over the years. Pro variants not only found better camera technology with an additional sensor, but also the latest SOC generation. It was different with the iPhone 16: here, the iPhone 16 and 16 Plus A18 and iPhone 16 Pro and 16 Pro Max received the A18 Pro. Main Difference: Low GPU Core. In the iPhone 17, Apple now wants to return to the old model, although only a standard model must be, as the plus model is replaced by air.
Slightly increased screen
Finally, the iPhone 17 should have an improvement: Famous performance expert Ross Young recently announced X that he had heard from the supply chain that Apple Switch to 6.3 inch model with a 6.1 inch umbrella want. This screen size is currently used in the iPhone 16 Pro.
As usual, the new iPhone model is expected in September. With the iPhone 17 Air, which can also get a different name, Apple is making major changes in the form factor for the first time after the iPhone 12 mini.
