It has been one month since the iPhone 16 was officially made available to the public, and it’s time to start considering Apple’s next iPhone, the iPhone 17. We are aware that there will be no current details on the next iPhone; however, we can begin looking at some online rumours and spec leaks and compare them to the latest smartphone. So, let’s uncover the iPhone 17 and discuss how it will differ from the 16th model.
The quick verdict
Based on rumours, the iPhone 17 is expected to bring an Apple A19 chip, a 120Hz ProMotion display, a slightly larger 6.2-inch screen and a 24MP selfie camera, at a similar price of around £800. The iPhone 16 already offers the A18 chip and up to 512GB of storage from £799. None of the iPhone 17 details are confirmed, so treat them with caution before deciding to wait.

Which design version of iPhone is best?
Focussing on the design of the iPhone 17, we would love Apple to alter its camera lens layout on the next model. Especially in the Pro models from the previous model, the camera lens size is huge and feels like it takes up a quarter of the back of the phone. We would love the camera lens size to be reduced slightly so there is more space. Also, perhaps removing a couple of the lenses’ and having a 3-in-1 lens where 1 lens performs all 3 zooms. It would also be great to see some new colour options that vary between dark and light shades, unlike the 16 model which is primarily light shades.
Conclusion:
We have plenty of iPhones available on our website for you to check out, if you’re looking for an update but don’t want the latest model. As well, we have other smartphone options like Samsung, Google and Huawei. Take a look now!
