For those who are looking for maximum upgrades, this year’s iPhone 17 can suffer from frustration.
Analyst Jeff PU shared the information in a research note by the Equity Research Firm GF Securities (viewed by macromers) on iPhone 17. According to him, the same A18 chip will be presented in the standard iPhone 17 like the iPhone 16.
The A18 chip will still be manufactured using the 3NM process of TSMC.

In further matching, PU also claimed that 8GB of Ram will be displayed in iPhone 17 – the same is like the iPhone 16.
In contrast, the iPhone 17 Pro models should be equipped with A19 Pro chips. It is believed that the Ultra -Ski iPhone with high rumors will be quiet in the A19 air.
If true, this is a strange choice from Apple, with the entire iPhone 16 line -ups with the separated chip races between phones, which includes the A18 chip, which includes a slightly more purse -friendly iPhone 16E launched in the spring.
Although being fair, with the new A18 chip and access to Apple Intelligence, we support the iPhone 16, which we believe that Apple probably wants to attract users to buy high -end pro models.

The iPhone 17 is seen as the least upgrade compared to iPhone 16 with no new designs, yet rumors are expected to be restored. Pro models are expected.
It can feature a sharp 120Hz display and a 24 -megapixel front camera, both iPhone 16 on 16 60Hz and 12MP, but it’s about it. According to the display analyst Ross Ying, there are conflicting rumors that the iPhone 17 will have a 6.3 -inch display display, which is above 16 to the 6.1 -inch screen. However, PU has claimed that it will remain the same size.
In contrast, Analyst Ming-Covo said in April that the iPhone 17 Air and Pro Models will get 12GB of RAM, which is a long essential upgrade from Apple.
It is understood that the iPhone e -line is about to be made annually, but if the iPhone barely upgrades 17, where does this budget leave the iPhone? On the same side of the coin, if this iPhone is barely more powerful than the 16 E, where does this base iPhone leave, which unfortunately does not decrease more than the iPhone 16 despite the higher price?
Apple is expected to unveil the iPhone 17 family in September during a usual fall window for new handsets.
