The iPhone 17 will move to a larger 6.3-inch screen diagonal, making the iPhone 16 the last to use the 6.1-inch size. This rumor has been circulating before and is now backed by DSCC founder and current Counterpoint Research VP Ross Young, who has a solid track record with display-related rumors.
This would make the base model iPhone and the iPhone 17 Pro equal in display size, something last seen with the iPhone 15 and 15 Pro. Size aside, the iPhone 17 Pro will likely have superior screen specs, including ProMotion and higher peak brightness.
The other two iPhones in Apple’s upcoming 17 lineup are expected to have different screen sizes, however. The rumored iPhone 17 Slim (or Air), which is set to replace the iPhone 16 Plus, will have a 6.6-inch display (smaller than the Plus’ 6.7-inch). The iPhone 17 Pro Max will retain the 6.9-inch and its title as the biggest iPhone.
