Many people are focused on the iPhone 17 Air. But the iPhone 17 Pro is also worth paying attention to. Apple’s new iPhone 17 Pro models are expected to come out in September 2025. A new leak says they may have a bold new color.
According Macworld claims, the iPhone 17 Pro and Pro Max colors are confirmed. They might come in a new orange color. The color will look like copper. This would be a brand-new shade for the iPhone lineup. Along with the color, there will be a lot more upgrades. These changes could include a new design and better cameras for both long-distance shots and selfies. It may also have a faster A19 Pro chip and a new look for its software, iOS 19.

iPhone 17 Pro Display
This time, iPhone is coming up with a bigger screen. The iPhone 17 will likely have a 6.3-inch display, up from 6.1 inches. Apple is getting rid of the “Plus” model. There will only be one standard, lower-priced iPhone 17. As per the sources, here are the expected screen sizes for the new phones:
iPhone 17: 6.3 inches
iPhone 17 Pro: 6.3 inches
iPhone 17 Air: 6.6 inches
iPhone 17 Pro Max: 6.9 inches
A Faster A19 Chip
The iPhone 17 will have a new A19 chip. This chip will be faster and use less power than older ones. Apple usually gives different chips to its different models:
- The iPhone 17 Pro and Pro Max will likely get the fastest A19 Pro chip.
- The standard iPhone 17 and iPhone 17 Air will get the regular A19 chip.
- There is also a chance the iPhone 17 Air could get a Pro chip with slightly less graphics power.
New Wi-Fi 7 Chip
All four iPhone 17 models will use a new Wi-Fi 7 chip made by Apple. This could help improve the phone’s battery life. Mainly, this change lets Apple use its own parts instead of buying them from other companies.
A Thinner Design
The iPhone 17 Air could be the thinnest iPhone ever made. Experts say it will be around 6mm thick. Another says it will be between 5mm and 6mm. iPhone 6 is the thinnest iPhone with a 6.9mm thickness. And so far, iPhones have gotten thicker to place bigger batteries, better cameras, and new parts.
The Design Elements
iPhone 17 Pro will have some major design changes to make it more attractive in terms of look and feel. The camera of the iPhone 16 Pro is square at the top left corner. However, leaked designs show that this might change. The camera area could stretch all the way across the top of the phone. The camera lenses would still be in a triangular shape on the left side. Other sensors would then be on the right side of this new camera bar. This look is similar to the camera bar on Google’s Pixel 9 phones. But early pictures suggest that Apple’s camera bar will be thicker.
iPhone 17 Pro software
Apple has shown off its new software, iOS 26. It was revealed at the WWDC 2025 event. This software will come with the new iPhone 17 Pro.
It features a new “Liquid Glass” design. This new look is inspired by Apple’s visionOS software.
Thermal Upgrades
The iPhone 17 Pro models may get a new cooling system. This system is called a “vapor chamber.” It helps spread heat across the phone. This stops the phone from slowing down when it gets too hot. It will help the powerful A19 chip run smoothly without overheating.
Adjustable Camera Lens
The iPhone 17 Pro might have a moving aperture. An aperture controls how much light gets into the camera lens.
This feature is common in large professional cameras. It helps control how blurry the background looks. However, it might not be needed on a phone. Apple already uses software to create this effect.
The Frame Material
There are mixed rumors about the material for the 17 Pro models. Apple currently uses titanium for its Pro phones. Some rumors say Apple might switch back to aluminum. Aluminum is lighter than titanium. But it might not feel as high-quality.
However, other rumors say that Apple will stick with titanium. We are not sure which material they will choose yet.
Screen and Battery Life
There was a rumor about a new screen technology for the iPhone 17 Pro. It was supposed to use less power and make the screen stronger. However, a more recent report says this may not happen. Apple might not add a new screen that is harder to scratch and has less glare.
Expected Prices
The iPhone 17 Air could cost around $899. This would make it more expensive than the standard iPhone 17 but cheaper than the iPhone 17 Pro.
Here are the expected starting prices for the lineup:
- iPhone 17: $799
- iPhone 17 Air: $899
- iPhone 17 Pro: $999
