Release date and introduction iPhone 17

Apple most likely to introduce a new line of iPhones again during the first half of September, as part of the annual keynote. Recently then potential release date leaked online, or rather, within a few days. The leak was made by respected journalist Mark Gurman from Bloombergwhich makes this information seem very likely.

Release date and introduction iPhone 17 is, according to him, as follows: 

  • Performance:Monday, September 8, Tuesday, September 9 or Wednesday, September 10
  • Pre-orders open: Friday, September 19
  • First pieces at customers: Friday, September 26

At the same time, it is necessary to take into account that some models (e.g. 17 Air or 17 Pro Max) may have arrive on store shelves later due to production problems. We haven't heard much about them this year, but they can't be ruled out, of course, because they can only appear when production is up and running. At the same time, it should be added that the availability of the phones as such will be practically 100% minialmost worse from the start due to the high demand from customers.

What models iPhone 17 will arrive

We should expect 4 models this year too iPhone provided that the offer will consist of:

  • iPhone 17
  • iPhone 17 Air
  • iPhone 17 Pro
  • iPhone 17 Pro Max

From the menu Apple So the basic Plus model will be discontinued year-on-year, and will be replaced by the 17 model. Air as a representative of the middle class. Its technical specifications will also correspond to this, which should be roughly halfway between the basic iPhone 17 and high-end iPhone 17 Pro (Max)

Design: Will change Apple iPhone 17 appearance?

The visuals of the iPhone have been changing slowly in recent years, but this year's generation could bring a bigger leap. According to leaks Apple for example, it considers:

  • reduction Dynamic Islandon all models iPhone 17
  • super slim body iPhone 17 Air
  • "new" materials for frames (return of aluminum frame to iPhone 17 Pro/Max)

While the basic iPhone 17 should look more or less like the current one in terms of design iPhone 16 (perhaps with narrower bezels around the display), iPhone 17 Air should impress with its extraordinary thinness of around 5,5 mm. It is expected to use a titanium frame and a rear oval photo module in the style of phones Google Pixel. iPhone 17 Pro a Pro Max then they should also offer a wide rear photo module from side to side, which will become their main distinguishing feature.

Appearance iPhone 17 Pro is quite possibly already revealed thanks to a photo that is spreading like wildfire across the internet. It shows a man, who is very likely testing this very new product in public in a special cover next to iPhone 16 Pro. That this is about iPhone 17 Pro or miniAt least its prototype suggests that the LiDAR and LED flash on the mysterious phone are distributed as is currently being speculated in connection with the news. 

Colors iPhone 17, 17 Air to 17 Pro

iPhone 17

  • Black (same as iPhone 16)
  • White (same as iPhone 16)
  • Steel grey – pantone 18-4005 TPG
  • Green – pantone 2282 U
  • Purple – pantone 530 U

  • Gray (similar to Natural Titanium)
  • Dark blue – pantone 19-4025 TPG Mood Indigo
  • Orange – pantone 15-1243 TCX Papaya

It is quite interesting that recently there have been rumors that iPhone 17 to 17 Pro will also arrive in a new gray color known from the previous 6, 6S models. However, it is not certain whether Apple sononec decided to give this colorful variagreen.

Display: Technology, sizes and Always-On

The base models are expected to retain OLED panels without ProMotion, while Pro models will get LTPO OLED with 120Hz refresh rate and function Always-On. However, it is very interesting that in connection with the basic iPhone 17 and model iPhone 17 Air There are rumors of a 120Hz refresh rate, although perhaps not in variaHowever, this decision could have a negative impact on the battery life of these models and it is therefore questionable whether it will be Apple it really happens.

Expected display diagonals:

  • iPhone 17 - 6,3 ″
  • iPhone 17 Air - 6,7 ″
  • iPhone 17 Pro - 6,3 ″
  • iPhone 17 Pro Max - 6,9 ″

In general, it can be said that apart from a slight increase in the display of the base iPhone 17 and deploying a 120Hz refresh rate for the base and Air model, no major display upgrades are expected this year. A big positive of the 17 series Pro (Max) there should also be an anti-reflective layer, which should significantly improve the readability of the displayed content in the sun. What's more, Apple allegedly also plans to deploy a new protective layer (probably the next generation Ceramic Shield), which should provide the displays of the new products with significantly higher scratch resistance than they are now. Unfortunately, the models Air and the basics in this regard are probably spurring.

What about then Dynamic Islandu, it will either remain in its current form or will only be slightly reduced – probably by narrowing. Any major upgrades are expected next year, or the year after that. So if Apple this year, it will probably be more of an upgrade in the style of narrowing the display notch. iPhone 13 Pro vs 12 Pro.

We have heard positive news in recent days about the bezels around the display. For those leakThe authors confirm that he should Apple narrow again and thus make the front of the phones more attractive overall, as the display should de facto end where the metal frame begins.

iPhone 17 Pro a Pro Max: Premium models under the microscope

Advice Pro will again be reserved for more demanding users. For example, it is expected that:

  • use aluminum frame instead of titanium to reduce weight,
  • new design with a distinctive rear camera module,
  • improved 48MP telephoto lens and 24MP front camera
  • and of course more powerful A19 Pro chip along with 12GB RAM.

Advice Pro According to available information, this year's focus should be primarily on fundamental improvements to filming capabilities. Unfortunately, what exactly do many people mean by these words? leakerIt is not entirely clear at this point, although there has been speculation in the past about the deployment of 8K video support. The catch, however, is that 8K recording has been talked about in connection with iPhones for several years, so all this news should be taken with a certain reserve.

Thanks to the new generation of the A-series chip, it is possible to Pro also expect that, as is traditional, they will become iPhone 17 Pro to 17 Pro Max the most powerful smartphones in the world. Thanks to the chip's more advanced 3nm manufacturing process, we should then see better battery life between generations. And perhaps even more interestingly, there are also rumors of a redesign of the internal cooling system, which should be more efficient and therefore keep the phone at acceptable temperatures for longer.

Performance and chip: What processor will be in the iPhone 17?

A major innovation in the series Pro should be chip A19 Prowhich Apple It will likely be manufactured using TSMC's 3nm process. The result is expected to be lower power consumption, higher performance, and better thermal management. The base models may either have a slightly modified version of the chip in the form of a simple A19 without the adjective "Pro", which would be from Pro versions probably differed "only" in the number of graphics cores, or they bet on A18 Pro from last year. Unfortunately, analysts cannot yet agree on this point.

As for the intergenerational increase in performance, recent years have shown that iPhones are getting faster by about 20 to 30% between generations, so we can expect a similar jump this year. While this is certainly interesting on paper, in normal use we will probably hardly notice the phone's greater agility or anything like that. For example, when rendering videos and the like, we should wait a shorter time.

Across the line iPhone 16 can be expected for the series Pro deployment 12GB of RAM, with the same amount likely to be given to iPhone 17 AirOn the contrary, the basic iPhone 17 allegedly will remain at 8GB of RAM. However, one positive is that AI features will very likely be miniAt least for this year, the 8GB RAM limit is unblemished.

Cameras: New lenses and features?

Each new generation also brings cameras with improved optics. iPhone 17 Pro Max should get improved telephoto lens, is also being considered improved main sensor with larger area a improved selfie camera, which is even speculated about placement under the display. However, the latest reports suggest that cameras will only move under the display in the coming years, which is probably why Apple it won't fundamentally change either Dynamic Island.

iPhone 17

It will receive a rear camera system consisting of a 48MPx Fusion (wide-angle) lens and probably a 48MPx ultrawide-angle lens, making it a more comprehensive solution year after year. Thanks to the fake 2x "optical" zoom, which Apple Thanks to the high resolution of the main camera, it also offers a relatively friendly zoom.

iPhone 17 Air

It is expected to have only one rear lens, practically 100% then a 48MPx Fusion (wide-angle) lens identical to the one that Apple deploy u iPhone 17 Pro (Max). Of course, a 2x "optical" zoom will also be available here, thanks to which it will not be a problem to take photos with zoom without losing quality. However, the absence of the fisheye effect, which can only be achieved on ultrawide-angle lens.

iPhone 17 Pro/Max

The rear photo module of these models will again consist of a triple camera – specifically 48MPx Fusion (wide-angle), 48MPx ultrawide-angle and now also a 48MPx telephoto lens. The telephoto lens should be extremely interesting, as it will not only offer better resolution, but there is also speculation about whether it will offer either a higher optical zoom or, conversely, a lower one than the 16 series. Pro (Max). It offers 5x optical zoom, which is not exactly ideal for portraits and as a result, it doesn't get objects that close. Apple So he is probably wondering whether to take the path of better zooming in on distant objects, or, conversely, choose the option of adjusting the telephoto zoom so that it is more suitable for photographing portraits.

Relating iPhone 17 Pro In addition, we have heard a lot of other speculations about his photography skills in the past week. Specifically, with the fan world AppThere has been information circulating that the phones should get a telephoto lens with 8x optical zoom, but most importantly, with a mechanically movable lens that will allow for smooth zooming within a certain range (i.e. there will no longer be a need to choose between fixed zooms). 

At the same time, they should Pro iPhones will get a professional photography and filmmaking application that should allow you to use the cameras to the fullest. What's more, a new button for additional camera control should reportedly appear on the top of the phones. Thanks to this, the models should be 17 Pro become even more capable cameras and camcorders. 

Battery and endurance: What to expect?

Changes in battery capacities are not yet confirmed, but with the new A19 chip (Pro) could come noticeably better endurance even for models Pro, which tend to be more energy-intensive. There is also information about a possible transition to new cell chemistry a faster wireless chargingSpecifically, there are rumors of Qi 2.2 support, which should allow charging iPhone up to 25W wirelessly and with chargers other than MagSafe. The key news is that it is reportedly also preparing MagSafe 3 charger, which should be able to charge the new iPhones up to 45W wirelessly, which is ultimately more than they can handle iPhone 16 (Pro) wired. It is with this in mind that we can expect the speed of wired charging to increase. miniIt will almost level out at 45W, if not even accelerate.

The biggest concerns revolve around durability iPhone 17 Air, since it will probably be significantly limited by his body size. According to available information should reportedly be around 2800 to 3000 mAh, which is extremely low by today's standards. Apple Although the battery life of this model can be "stretched" through a new type of battery, software functions, and so on, it is likely that it will not be a bad thing anyway and 17 Air will play second fiddle to the rest of the models in this regard.

Price and availability of models

It is expected that Apple poneMost prices are at the iPhone 16 level, Of Pro models may be more expensive due to more expensive materials and componentsoneslightly increase the price of the products. iPhone 17 Air it is then generally expected that it will be Apple to be considered as a successor in terms of price iPhone 16 Plus and therefore will calculate with +- the same price tags. This would mean that:

  • iPhone 17 – From $799/ CZK 23
  • iPhone 17 Air – From $899/ CZK 26
  • iPhone 17 Pro – From $999/ CZK 29
  • iPhone 17 Pro Max – From $1199/ CZK 35

Regarding availability in the Czech Republic, we expect that sales in the Czech Republic will start again in the same wave as last year. – so in the first one together with, for example, the USA, Germany, Franceancand many other countries. The positive thing for the Czechs is that the dollar exchange rate against the crown has been quite stable and, above all, favorable in the long term, so if it does not become more expensive Apple in the USA, it probably won't happen in the Czech Republic either.
