I'm more keen on the 17 air actually, but the battery seems meh. not sure how they optimize it fully if is main phone. Probably will pass for 17 first, gonna wait 18 

iPhone 17 Pro to Feature New Antenna Design

According to a rumor from leaker Majin Bu, the iPhone 17 Pro models will feature a redesigned antenna system that wraps around the rear camera bump, potentially improving 5G, LTE, Wi-Fi, and Bluetooth connectivity.

This new design is expected to result in fewer antenna lines on the iPhone 17 Pro frame, and the devices are also rumored to use Qualcomm modems for cellular connectivity and an Apple-designed Wi-Fi 7 chip.

While the leaker's track record is mixed, with some accurate predictions and others not, the iPhone 17 series is expected to be unveiled soon, so official details should be available shortly.

The iPhone 17 Pro is launching next month, here is EVERYTHING new:
- Aluminium unibody frame with glass cutout for MagSafe
- 48MP variable telephoto camera with 5x-8x optical zoom
- 24MP selfie camera
- Antireflective display coating
- New dark blue and copper finishes
- Biggest ever 5000 mAh battery
- 3nm A19 Pro chip with 12GB RAM
- Vapour chamber cooling system

I prefer the muted orange in this photo, hopefully it looks like this eventually.

So, it is 9th Sept as rumored earlier, that's less than a month from now.

26 days until the Galaxy S25 Ultra's telephoto camera becomes the worst in the industry.
Yes, with the launch of the iPhone 17 Pro Max, Apple's telephoto performance will surpass the S25 Ultra in every way, leaving Samsung in an unprecedented last-place position among major smartphone brands. I recently compared the S25 Ultra and the S21 Ultra—at 10x zoom, the S25 Ultra got crushed.
Its computational photography is a chaotic mess: passable at a glance, but once you zoom in, the details disintegrate into a pixelated disaster.
This is the inevitable result of Samsung's long-term complacency in camera tech—they deserve this humiliation.

Meanwhile, the iPhone 17 Pro Max is shaping up to be something special. It doesn’t rely on gimmicky AI tricks; instead, its raw processing power delivers surgically precise optimizations.
I can’t wait to see it in action.

Lol .. these days leaking more fun than actual presentation 

When it comes to actual, every dy no surprise 

Oh, maybe the pricing will be "surpised" who knows.

So that's aluminum case not glass

All these are AI-generated stuff, God knows what will happen on that day.
Even I watched a YT video yesterday saying some of the prototypes could be fake.

go back to round edge? sigh..

14 pro series users will have good upgrade if upgrade this year to 17 pro.

1) usb-c
2) more RAM
3) apple intelligence support
4) better camera
5) better battery life...

Since we are already paying so much for the phone, the more the better I'd say.
