The iPhone 17 Air is said to be the only iPhone 17 model to feature a titanium frame. Apple’s decision probably concerns durability.

The introduction of the A19 across the board for the iPhone 17 range is promising. That said, Apple has an outstanding track record for delivering processors which are fast and reliable performers. So, whatever the name of the processor, it’s likely to be up to the task.

Apple generally knows what it’s doing when it comes to industrial design, but the company’s latest reported decision is causing more than a little confusion among Apple fans and pundits.

According to tipster @Jukanlosreve, the iPhone Fold will feature a 7.8-inch inner display and a 5.5-inch cover display. It will reportedly be powered by Apple's A20

However, a new rumor from respected analyst Ming-Chi Kuo provides a potential interesting detail about the iPhone Fold. Specifically, Apple could team up with Samsung Display (SDC) for its folding iPhone — a smart move for Apple, given that Samsung has just released the Galaxy Z Fold 7 to promising early reviews.

There have been a lot of rumors about the new iPhone 17 colors lately, and we now have the definitive lineup thanks to our sources.

Apple’s secret to a crease-free screen on its foldable iPhone might be a “display metal plate,” reports Kuo. I’ll just quote his reasoning:

It’s unknown if the iPhone 17 and the iPhone 17 Air will use BOE-made displays. Currently, BOE doesn’t supply Apple with LTPO displays, which are the only ones that feature Apple’s ProMotion variable refresh rate, which is rumored to appear on all models in the next generation of iPhones.

Screen mass production is supposed to begin in the fourth quarter of this year, so the foldable iPhone can go on sale in 2026.

Apple will assemble the iPhone 17 simultaneously in India and China — a major shift from its earlier timeline strategy. Trial production in Tamil Nadu is already underway.
