Updated on October 17th with new details about the iPhone 17 Pro’s processor and RAM.
When Apple releases the iPhone 17 Pro in the fall of 2025, it seems likely that brighter colors will be available, and the internal design (processor technology and installed RAM) will also be updated.
When it comes to RAM, next year’s iPhones will have more RAM than today. All iPhone 16 series come with 8GB of RAM and can run Apple Intelligence. The previous iPhone 15 Pro and Pro Max had this much storage, but the regular iPhone 15 and 15 Plus had 6GB, so they couldn’t handle Apple Intelligence.
Previous reports suggested that this would be increased to 12GB for the iPhone 17 Pro and Pro Max, but a claim made on Weibo by a person calling themselves Mobile Phone Chip suggests that this time there will be a move to a 2-nanometer chip. It is reported that there is. Experts who have previously made correct predictions in this field. It was discovered by MacRumors.
The report notes that the iPhone 18, scheduled to launch in 2026, will use a different packaging method to manufacture the chip, “enabling more complex systems such as CPUs, GPUs, DRAM, and other custom accelerators.” It also included information. Tightly integrate AI/ML chips) into one package. ” These changes may be limited to the Pro version of the iPhone 18 series. On the other hand, if these claims prove true, it would indicate that Apple is busy changing the iPhone’s chip design to give it more powerful performance next year and the year after.
And the color of iPhone 17 Pro. The current iPhone 16 Pro and iPhone 16 Pro Max are mostly subdued and understated, unlike the more vibrant colors of the iPhone 16 and iPhone 16 Plus.
Current color options are Black Titanium, White Titanium, Natural Titanium, and Desert Titanium. With the exception of Desert Titanium’s pale gold finish, all the colors are subdued and not flashy. Last year was even quieter, with Desert’s predecessor being Blue Titanium.
However, according to prolific leaker Majin Bu, teal, green, and dark green options could arrive next year. How likely is this?
One thing is for sure, this range doesn’t include both green and dark green, as the two are very close, and although Majin Buu doesn’t imply that, We understand that green is the iPhone 17’s hero color, and dark green is the corresponding Pro shade, similar to the iPhone 14’s purple and the iPhone 14 Pro’s dark purple choices.
The leaker believes that the most likely option is teal titanium, saying, “Given that the current iPhone 16 series already has a similar option, the most likely candidate would be teal titanium. There is a possibility.”
Well, teal is not the brightest color of the iPhone 16, i.e. ultramarine, but it is brighter than the other colors. And in the case of the iPhone 17 Pro, Teal certainly fits the understated vibe of the iPhone 16 Pro series, and may look like a slightly jazzier version of last year’s Blue Titanium, which was a pretty muted color.
Personally, I would be happy to have a dark green option. This goes to show that the iPhone Pro series has the potential to surprise us in terms of colors.
Apple has always prided itself on surprising people with its design, and each iPhone generation comes in slightly different colors, right down to colors like PRODUCT(RED). When the next iPhone is released, the Pro model could take the iPhone in a new direction.
