What will the iPhone 17 be like: what insiders already know

Experts and fans of the brand are expecting a lot from this year's Apple fall presentation. It is already known that the new iPhones will receive a number of innovative solutions that can become breakthroughs and turn the game on the smartphone market again.

The iTechua publication has collected some rumors that only fuel interest in the upcoming iPhone 17. We are talking about both design solutions and technical innovations. Here are the rumors already circulating among insiders.

A new "seam" on the case

The Chinese social network Weibo has reported that Apple will change the way the iPhone 17 connects the bezel to the back panel. Most likely, the frame and glass will be connected on the back panel through a bend. Therefore, the phone will not have a straight edge, and it will fit better in the hand. It is not yet known whether this innovation will apply to all models of the 17th generation iPhone or will be used only in Pro-level smartphones.

Improvements to the front camera

Year after year, Apple has invested considerable effort in improving the main camera of its smartphones. Meanwhile, according to the latest rumors, the company will significantly improve the front camera in the iPhone 17.

Experts expect the selfie camera resolution to double. Instead of the current 12 megapixels, the updated sensor will get 14 megapixels. Thus, the new Apple smartphones will significantly improve the image quality for self-portraits and video calls.

As for the main camera, it will remain unchanged this time. This module will include three 48-megapixel sensors. It will also receive a 5x periscopic zoom, which can already be seen in the iPhone 16 Pro Max.

The latest cooling system

As the power of the iPhone grows, the issue of smartphone cooling becomes more urgent. And in the new generation of devices, Apple will solve it with the help of vapor chamber technology, according to rumors.

At the moment, it is said that all four models – iPhone 17, iPhone 17 Air, iPhone 17 Pro, and iPhone 17 Pro Max – will receive a more advanced "heat distributor." This technology is already used in many flagship Android smartphones. Its essence lies in the fact that the vapor chamber distributes heat evenly over an enlarged area. This helps to reduce the risk of trotting and improve the overall performance of the device. Especially when it comes to gadgets with thin bodies.

It is known that the iPhone 16 Pro managed to solve the problem of overheating with an aluminum substrate, graphene film, and a modified rear glass. However, the increase in iPhone power, as well as the transition to technologies involving artificial intelligence, may increase the smartphone's requirements for heat dissipation.
