In his weekly newsletter, Mark Gurman of Bloomberg recently revealed that Apple is likely to host the launch event the week of September 8. Apple typically announces new products on Tuesdays rather than Fridays. 

Gurman thinks the incident will probably happen on Tuesday, September 9, or Wednesday, September 10. However, Monday, September 8, is still a possibility. Out of respect, Apple usually doesn't schedule activities on September 11.

Processor and performance upgrade

Improved performance is promised by the A19 CPUs that will be utilized in the iPhone 17 variants and the A19 Pro processors in the Pro versions, both of which are based on TSMC's third-generation 3nm technology. To improve multitasking efficiency, the RAM will be expanded to 8GB for base models and 12GB for Pro variants.

Display Size

Additionally, the iPhone 17's 6.3-inch display will be marginally bigger than the iPhone 16's 6.1-inch display. A 6.7-inch screen is rumoured for the iPhone 17 Air, a 6.3-inch screen for the iPhone 17 Pro, and a 6.9-inch screen for the iPhone 17 Pro Max.

Camera

Camera improvements differ depending on the model. Three cameras are included with the iPhone 17: a 48MP wide camera, a 12MP ultra-wide camera, and a 24MP front camera. The smaller iPhone 17 Air may only have a single 48MP rear and a 24MP front camera due to space constraints.

Memory

Apple's Pro models will allow greater background app retention and speedier performance thanks to their 12GB of RAM. For improved everyday multitasking and user experience, iPhone 17 models will come standard with 8GB of RAM.
