00:03Five Big Changes Apple is Expected to Bring in September 2025
00:07With August on our heels, there is only a month or so before September,
00:13the month when Apple is expected to launch the iPhone 17 Pro alongside the rest of the iPhone 17 series,
00:21including the iPhone 17 Air.
00:24These models have already been leaked extensively.
00:27Multiple reports have gone into detail about what we can expect from these devices,
00:34including the purported new design, specifications, and material differences compared to the iPhone 16 series.
00:42Here, we will look at five plausible changes that the iPhone 17 Pro could bring to the table,
00:48based on these reports.
00:50Read on for the details.
00:52Number 1 Changes
00:54A Major Design Change and Return to Aluminium Expected
00:58Multiple reports have suggested that the iPhone 17 Pro models are in for a major design change,
01:05especially concerning the appearance of the camera module.
01:08With the 17 Pro, the camera module is expected to extend across the back, creating a much larger camera housing.
01:18Apple is also expected to change the metal used for the iPhone 17 Pro's frame.
01:24Instead of titanium, reports suggest that Apple could revert to aluminum, similar to vanilla models.
01:31It remains to be seen how this design will be implemented, as Apple will still need to use a glass back to allow for wireless charging.
01:41Number 2 Changes
01:42An Upgraded Telephoto Lens
01:44Reports have suggested that the iPhone 17 Pro could feature a new, upgraded 48MP telephoto lens.
01:52However, it might get rid of the 5x optical zoom capability, offering 3.5x optical zoom instead.
02:02This may not be a bad thing, considering other phones like the Vivo X200 Pro use high-resolution telephoto cameras to enable hybrid zoom, offering sharper results even at up to 10x.
02:14Considering Apple already uses a digital crop on its main sensor to offer optical quality 2x zoom, a 48MP telephoto lens could similarly provide high-quality digital zoom up to 7x or more.
02:30This change is expected for both the iPhone 17 Pro and the iPhone 17 Pro Max.
02:38Number 3 Changes
02:3912GB of RAM
02:41Reports and tipsters have also suggested that all models in the iPhone 17 series will now feature 12GB of RAM.
02:50Given Apple's significant push into Apple intelligence and the industry's move towards generative AI, this upgrade makes sense.
03:00More advanced AI features will likely become the norm, and 12GB of RAM may be necessary to support them.
03:08Number 4 Changes
03:09A-19 Pro Chipset
03:11The iPhone 17 Pro is expected to debut the A-19 Pro Chipset.
03:17This will be the successor to the Apple A-18 Pro, the 3nm chipset expected to be found in the iPhone 16 Pro.
03:26While the exact upgrades the A-19 Pro will bring are unknown, reports suggest it will remain a 3nm chip, not a 2nm one.
03:36It remains to be seen how the A-19 Pro will fare against its competitors, such as the successor to the Snapdragon 8 Elite.
03:46The competition in mobile processing is certainly heating up, with rival chips posting increasingly strong multicore benchmark results.
03:54Number 5 Changes
03:56Bright New Color Options
03:58Earlier this month, Tipster Marjan Bu reported that the iPhone 17 Pro could be offered in brand-new colorways, including dark blue, orange, silver, and black.
04:09This would be an interesting choice of colors for the iPhone 17 Pro, as Apple has recently favored more subtle shades like Natural Titanium and Desert Titanium for its Pro models instead of bright ones.
04:23An orange option would certainly shake things up and could convince many buyers to upgrade.
