Every year, Apple delights the world with new updates to its iPhone series. This year, the iPhone series is going to the market in September 2025 under the name iPhone 17. Significant changes are expected in this series with respect to the model already available, iPhone 16. Let's see the top five possible ways in which the iPhone 17 could differ from the iPhone 16.

New Design and Slim Body
This could herald a completely new design for the iPhone 17 model and an ultra-slim body. Reports suggest Apple was going for a thinner and lighter device this time around, where the titanium frame is to be improved yet again. Of course, on a slightly heavier side, the iPhone 16 was rigid and had almost no design changes to speak of.
New Entry into The Pro Series as "iPhone 17 Slim"
Now Apple can bring another model called "iPhone 17 Slim" under its iPhone 17 Pro series, which will definitely feature a 6.6-inch OLED, super-sleek profile display. This might present a different and never-seen-before kind of experience as opposed to the iPhone 16 Pro Max.
Major Improvement in Selfie Camera
Like, somehow, while the company might be using a 24MP front camera in the iPhone 17 series, that of the iPhone 16 was only 12MP. Such changes will only improve video calls and selfies, with particular regard to AI Portrait and Night Mode.
Chipset Jump and Performance
Perhaps the iPhone 17 is the one that will have the speed and power of an A19 Bionic chip, while the iPhone 16 has an A18 Pro chip. Better AI processing, battery optimization, and gaming performance would set a new standard with this chip.

Enhanced Battery and Charging Technologies in Apple iPhone 17 Lineup
It is said that the new iPhone 17 model will increase its power by reducing battery size. There could also be a possibility for support of 30W fast charging in the model, while the iPhone 16 supports only 20W charging.
The next generation of the iPhone 17 is expected to be designed in such a way that it will look much more modern, powerful, and easier to use than ever before. Design, camera, performance, battery-everything is going to change. How much Apple will succeed in surprising with this new series will only be known post-launch during the September event.
