According to data analytics firm TrendForce, the iPhone 17 family will outsell the iPhone 16 devices by 3.5%, with the Pro models remaining the main sales drivers. The firm isn’t very bullish on the iPhone 17 Air, saying its initial shipments should be in line with those of the device it’s replacing, the iPhone 16 Plus.
The iPhone 17 Air, iPhone 17 Pro, and iPhone 17 Pro Max will all get 12GB of RAM, and they will all start at 256GB of storage, leaving only the ‘vanilla’ iPhone 17 with 8GB of RAM and 128GB base storage.
There have been a bunch of contradictory reports on this lately, so hopefully this one is accurate. The entire series will have a 24 MP selfie camera, and all rear cameras will have 48 MP resolution, while the Pro models will also get the oft-rumored redesign with a big camera island, as well as “optimized software algorithms to enhance optical zoom and image resolution”.
This report reiterates $50-$100 price hikes on all models except the iPhone 17, something which has been challenged by a different rumor a few days ago, so honestly at this point it’s anyone’s guess what will happen. Apple will fortunately tell us everything we need to know in just five days.
