iPhone 17's Underwhelming Specs Revealed!

A new rumor has surfaced regarding the iPhone 17 base model, and it’s raising eyebrows. Apple analyst Jeff Pu recently disclosed that this entry-level device will retain the A18 chip from the iPhone 16, developed using TSMC's efficient N3E 3nm process.

Evolving Technology: What to Expect!

In contrast, the anticipated iPhone 17 Air will boast an upgraded A19 chip, while the Pro variants will be equipped with an even more advanced A19 Pro chip, both utilizing TSMC's cutting-edge N3P process.

Is 8GB of RAM Enough?

On the RAM front, the iPhone 17 is rumored to house 8GB, a specification that mirrors its predecessor, the iPhone 16. Just last month, analyst Ming-Chi Kuo speculated whether Apple would bump up the base model’s RAM to 12GB, but it seems the decision has landed on the more modest 8GB.

Minor Upgrades Ahead!

Overall, the iPhone 17 is shaping up to be a slight enhancement over the iPhone 16. Both models are expected to share a similar design aesthetic. However, there are some exciting features on the horizon, such as a 120Hz display and a 24-megapixel front camera—an upgrade from the previous 60Hz and 12-megapixel setup.

A Bigger Display Awaits!

Ross Young, a noted display expert, revealed that the base iPhone 17 will feature a larger 6.3-inch display compared to the 6.1-inch screen of the iPhone 16. This means users can look forward to a more immersive viewing experience.
