iPhone 17: What's Changing and What's Staying the Same?
USAMon Jun 23 2025
The iPhone 17 series is set to bring some notable changes, but don't expect a complete overhaul. The most significant updates will be on the back of the Pro models, with a new design that includes an aluminum frame and a mix of aluminum and glass on the back. This change will likely bring new colors, with rumors suggesting a sky blue option.
The standard iPhone 17 might see new purple and green colors, replacing some of the current options. However, the front of all models will look quite similar to previous versions, with no changes to the Dynamic Island. This means the bezels will remain thin, and the screen will not cover the entire front of the phone just yet.
Apple is reportedly planning bigger changes for next year, including a smaller Dynamic Island and a foldable model. The company is also said to be working on a major redesign for the Pro model in 2027, coinciding with the iPhone's 20-year anniversary. So, while the iPhone 17 series will have some updates, it's clear that Apple has even bigger plans for the future.
There are also rumors about faster charging, display properties, and a thicker iPhone 17 Pro Max. However, these details are still unclear, and more information is expected to leak as the release date approaches. One thing is certain: Apple is continually evolving its iPhone design, and the iPhone 17 series is just another step in that journey.
