There are rumors that,iPhone17 ofThe screen will be larger than the current iPhone 16 and the same size as the iPhone 16 Pro.202May 5, screen industry analyst Ross Young claimed that the iPhone 17 will be equipped with a 6.3-inch screen, whileiPhone 16The screen size is 6.1 inches. Now, digital chat sites that often break the news agree.
"The screen size of the iPhone 17 has been changed to 6.27/6.3 inches," the tipster said. The first number listed is the more precise diagonal size of the screen, but will be expressed as 6.3 inches.
The whistleblower's report on Weibo did not provide any further details about Apple. However, if the news is accurate, this means that the new iPhone 17 will have a screen size similar to the current iPhone 16 Pro.
Part of the reason is that the iPhone 17 may also work with the iPhone 17 Pro after case maker Spigen seemingly inadvertently revealed that they have a case for both models. Phone case manufacturers typically base their cases on the most likely rumors, so Spigen's unexpected announcement online isn't conclusive.
Additionally, while rumors of a 6.3-inch screen are not new, they are controversial. If the iPhone 17 and iPhone 17 Pro had the same screen size, there would be precedent. Back in 2023, the iPhone 15 and iPhone 15 Pro also had the same screen size.
