As the eagerly anticipated Apple event on September 9 approaches, fresh rumors about the iPhone 17 have emerged. Among the highlights, the battery capacities for the iPhone 17 lineup have been revealed through a Chinese regulatory database, suggesting notable improvements, especially for the iPhone 17 Pro Max, which may feature a battery exceeding 5,000 mAh. The iPhone 17 Air is rumored to lack a SIM tray, potentially impacting its availability in China, where physical SIM trays are required. However, a variant with a SIM tray is reportedly in the works.
The iPhone 17 Pro Max is expected to be thicker than its predecessor, possibly accommodating a larger battery and enhanced camera features, while maintaining a similar weight due to a shift to aluminum materials. Additionally, leaked cases suggest a lanyard attachment option, with the iPhone 17 Pro models available in vibrant colors, including orange.
Design changes for the iPhone 17 Pro include a new cutout area for wireless charging, combining aluminum and glass elements. Rumors about alterations to the Dynamic Island feature remain uncertain, with reliable sources suggesting minimal changes.
In other product news, two versions of the AirPods Pro 3 are anticipated, with one featuring an infrared camera for gesture controls. The Apple Watch SE 3 and Ultra 3 are also expected to be unveiled, boasting the new S11 chip. The Apple event will be streamed live, with comprehensive coverage available for those unable to watch in real-time.
