Apple's iPhone 17 Series Leak Reveals Major Screen Reshuffle

Brace for bigger displays across Apple’s 2025 lineup! According to trusted display analyst Ross Young, two of the four iPhone 17 models will debut never-before-seen screen sizes—including the rumored iPhone 17 Air and a surprise boost for the base iPhone 17.

The New Size Reality:

• iPhone 17: Jumps to 6.27" (up from 6.12") – now matching today’s iPhone 16 Pro

• iPhone 17 Air: Lands at 6.55" (replacing Plus)

• iPhone 17 Pro: Unchanged at 6.27"

• iPhone 17 Pro Max: Steady at 6.86"

Marketing twist: Expect Apple’s signature rounding:
→ 17 & 17 Pro → marketed as "6.3-inch"
→ 17 Air → "6.6-inch" (slightly smaller than 16 Plus' 6.7")
→ Pro Max → "6.9-inch"

Why This Shakes Things Up:

For the first time, the standard iPhone steals the Pro’s screen real estate—a clear play for mainstream buyers wanting premium size without Pro price tags. The 17 Air’s middle-ground 6.55" splits the difference between base and Max models.

Beyond Screens: The Real Upgrades

While designs stay familiar (basic iPhone 17 keeps its current camera look), three game-changers stand out:

1. 120Hz ProMotion for EVERY model (finally!)

2. 24MP front camera (selfies shine)

3. Next-gen A19 chip across the board

Visual tweak alert: The 17 Pro, Pro Max, and Air might feature a new horizontal camera bar—leaving the base model as the design conservative.

The Bottom Line:

Apple’s playing sizing chess: The base model invades Pro territory, the Air undercuts the old Plus, and Pros hold their ground. With premium features trickling down, this could be Apple’s smartest iPhone revamp in years.
