According to a source on Weibo, Apple's basic iPhone 17 model would have a bigger display than the current iPhone 16. Previous reports have also indicated at the release of a larger iPhone 17, which is likely to have a screen as large as the iPhone 16 Pro. This year, Apple is likely to improve the regular iPhone 17 model's display to a 120Hz panel.
iPhone 17 Display Specifications (Expected)
In a Weibo post, tipster Digital Chat Station (translated from Chinese) predicts that the iPhone 17 would feature a bigger 6.3-inch display. Last year, Apple expanded the iPhone 16 Pro's size to 6.3 inches, and it looks that the iPhone 17 may follow suit. This information has already emerged online in numerous leaks, implying significant display advancements for Apple's upcoming smartphone.
Earlier this week, an Amazon India listing for Spigen's EZ Fit tempered glass mistakenly stated that the protective glass will be compatible with the iPhone 16 Pro, "iPhone 17" and "iPhone 17 Pro". The references to these handsets have been removed from the Amazon site, but it appears that all three variants will have a 6.3-inch screen.
According to earlier predictions citing experts and other sources, Apple will not only increase the display size of the iPhone 17, but also its performance. All of Apple's non-Pro models, including the current iPhone 16 and iPhone 16 Plus, include a 60Hz display. This year, Apple's standard iPhone 17 and the rumored iPhone 17 Air variant are believed to include 120Hz LTPO OLED panels.
While a 120Hz screen may eventually make its way to Apple's normal iPhone model this year, the firm will allegedly confine the always-on display and other capabilities that rely on Apple's variable refresh rate, which spans between 1Hz and 120Hz, to the iPhone 17 Pro versions.
According to an older source, the iPhone 17 and 17 Air would also have Samsung's newest M14 OLED displays. Last year, Apple employed the South Korean technology firm's revolutionary OLED technology on its iPhone 16 Pro and iPhone 16 Pro Max models, but all four models in its 2025 range will allegedly have the same OLED panels.
