Although iOS 26 is still rolling out, rumors about the iPhone 17 Pro are already swirling. MacRumors reports a host of design and hardware changes that may debut on Apple’s 2026 flagship.
Design changes
- A lighter aluminum frame could replace the titanium shell on current models
- An anti-reflective display might reduce glare in bright conditions
- A redesigned Dynamic Island and rectangular camera bump are expected.
Under the hood
Rumors point to an A19 Pro chip with better efficiency, plus 12 GB of RAM, longer battery life and 25 W wireless charging. Connectivity upgrades could include a custom Wi-Fi 7 chip for faster wireless speeds.
Camera and cooling
Apple may upgrade the front camera to 24 MP and the telephoto camera to 48 MP, along with support for dual video recording and 8K video. A vapor-chamber cooling system could keep temperatures down during extended use.
While these features are still speculative, they hint at a device designed for professionals who demand high performance.
