Apple is expected to announce the iPhone 17 series on September 9th. New rumors from TrendForce suggest the standard iPhone 17 and the new iPhone 17 Air will feature 120Hz displays. The iPhone 17 Air, due to its ultra-thin design, will reportedly use a silicon anode battery for higher energy density. This ultra-thin design will also necessitate the removal of the physical SIM card slot, relying entirely on eSIM. The iPhone 17 Pro and Pro Max are rumored to have enhanced optical zoom capabilities, potentially exceeding the current 5x. Apple may also adjust its release strategy, launching lower-end models in the first half of the year and higher-end models in the second half, starting with the iPhone 18 series in 2026. TrendForce has also provided details on potential pricing, storage, and RAM for the iPhone 17 series. The firm acknowledges that some of this information is based on current market projections. All these rumors will be officially confirmed at Apple's upcoming event.
