Contraimated rumors: no design change for the iPhone 17
Despite rumors that were running, Apple's iPhone 17 may not get a facelift. This is at least what Ming-Chi Kuo, renowned analyst with a solid reputation for her predictions concerning the products of the Apple products, asserts. According to him, the size of the Dynamic Island, this essential characteristic of the latest iPhone models, would remain significantly the same.
What is Dynamic Island?
The Dynamic Island, introduced with the iPhone 14 Pro, is a feature that houses the Sensors Face ID and the front camera, in addition to highlighting activities live. Previous rumors suggested that this component would become smaller or narrower for the iPhone 17. However, Kuo said on January 24: “I expect the size of the Dynamic Island to remain largely unchanged for the 2h25 iPhone 17 series. »»
Contradictory predictions
Kuo's statements contradict the predictions of analyst Jeff Pu, who said in May 2024 that the iPhone 17 Pro Max would present a narrower Dynamic Island thanks to the adoption of a smaller metal lens for Face ID. He reiterated this assertion last October, adding that only the Pro Max version would benefit from this characteristic.
-What about other changes?
Despite these uncertainties concerning the Dynamic Island, other design changes could be made to iPhone 17 models, including a total overhaul of the camera system. Apple's new flagship smartphone is expected for September, perhaps accompanied by the ultra-thin iPhone 17 Air.
Be that as it may, these divergent forecasts fuel suspense and anticipation when the new iPhone is launched. It remains to be seen who, from Kuo or Pu, will have been right.
