As Apple's next-generation model to be released in three months, the revelations about iPhone 17 started a few months ago. Recently, it has been a bit more dense, with expectations and disappointments, but many people basically cannot read it all at once. Recently, a well-known media have counted almost all the functional configurations that iPhone 17 can know in advance. I wonder if you are still interested after watching it?
First of all, it is chips. There have been reports from third parties in this regard before, but based on the news released by multiple whistles, it is basically confirmed that the iPhone 17 will still use A18 chips. It has not been long since it lasts and has returned to the old path. Conservatively, it is expected that the global sales of iPhone 17 will be 10 million units. This move means that the inventory of A18 chips is a bit too high, and it can only be consumed as quickly as possible through this method. If the purchase volume of A19 chips this year remains unchanged, it is likely that this situation will be repeated next year. In terms of screen refresh rate, it is basically a foregone conclusion that iPhone 17 uses a 120Hz screen this year, but it is still forcibly widened.
iPhone The 17 screen does not support adaptive refresh rate, which means that the refresh rate cannot be automatically matched according to the usage scenario and different operations. It was previously speculated that the three-speed refresh rate of 60Hz\90Hz\120Hz will be fixed, but according to the latest news, this cannot be done, but all scenarios will be fixed at 120Hz and cannot be adjusted dynamically. I personally think that this is not caused by technical limitations, but due to the human intervention of product marketing needs, this move is worrying about the battery life image, but fortunately, there is still a screen-off display function.
In terms of design style, the iPhone 17 and 16 remain basically unchanged compared with 16, but the area of the Lingdong Island will further decrease, and magnetic charging, 3D face recognition, and aluminum metal body will remain unchanged. If the sizes are all the same, the possibility of directly applying the 16 shell also exists. After all, in order to save costs, Apple can do everything that is ultimate. After 16e first launched the self-developed baseband chip, 17 will also use self-developed WiFi chip (standard for the entire series).
The charging performance will be upgraded, but the upgrade strength is extremely limited. For example, the maximum wired charging power will not exceed 30W. As a person who has been using 120W for many years and still can use the mobile phone normally, he does not believe that excessive charging power will affect the safety and life of the battery. Therefore, Apple's abacus on this aspect is becoming less and less effective. As for in order to comply with relevant EU regulations, the battery will become easier to disassemble, but I don't have much expectations whether it can be used in domestic models.
In terms of image, Apple never piles up pixels. The iPhone 17 will be paired with a combination of 48-megapixel main camera + 12-megapixel ultra-wide angle + 24-megapixel front camera. However, given the iPhone's consistent good performance in video shooting, this lens combination is considered a regular match in iPhone.
I wonder if you are still interested in iPhone 17 after reading the above function configuration?
