Last year's iPhone 16 features a 6.12-inch display.
iPhone 17 Air is rumoured to come with a 6.5-inch screen
iPhone 17 lineup is expected to be unveiled in a few months. The lineup is likely to include four models, including a new iPhone 17 Air model. The vanilla iPhone 17 is said to come with a notable display upgrade this year by offering a larger 6.27-inch panel compared to the 6.1-inch display on the iPhone 16. Now, a popular case maker has corroborated the rumour by accidentally listing a screen protector that is allegedly compatible with the iPhone 16 Pro, iPhone 17, and iPhone 17 Pro.
As spotted by GSMArena, Amazon India had listed Spigen's popular EZ Fit Tempered Glass Screen Protector Guard as compatible with the iPhone 16 Pro, iPhone 17, and iPhone 17 Pro. The inadvertent listing (now removed) could suggest that the iPhone 17 and iPhone 17 Pro will have the same 6.3-inch screen as the iPhone 16 Pro. This would be a notable upgrade over the 6.12-inch display found on the iPhone 16.
Several other sources, including DSCC analyst Ross Young, have pointed towards a display upgrade for vanilla iPhone 17 in recent months, which adds an extra layer of credibility to the rumour. The iPhone 17 is expected to feature an LTPO display with a 120Hz refresh rate, similar to the iPhone 16 Pro. However, premium features, such as always-on display, are likely to be limited to the Pro models.
The display on the iPhone 16 and iPhone 16 Plus offers a 60Hz refresh rate, while the iPhone 16 Pro and iPhone 16 Pro Max offer a 120Hz refresh rate.
The iPhone 17 is believed to be launched in September alongside the iPhone 17 Air, iPhone 17 Pro, and iPhone 17 Pro Max models. The iPhone 17 Air is rumoured to come with a 6.5-inch screen, while the iPhone 17 Pro Max could retain the 6.9-inch size. The non-Pro models are expected to ship with an A18 or A19 chipset with 8GB of RAM. The iPhone 17 Pro models are likely to be powered by the A19 Pro chipset alongside 12GB of RAM.
Apple could reportedly introduce the iPhone 17 and iPhone 17 Air in new green and purple colour options.
