Apple is rumoured to unveil its iPhone 17 lineup in the second half of 2025. Meanwhile, there are various speculations about Apple adding a new iPhone 17 Air model to the series.
According to a new report from South Korea, all iPhone 17 models are likely to come with a low-temperature polycrystalline oxide (LTPO) screen with a high refresh rate.
This is expected to be a major upgrade from the older iPhone series, while Apple generally packs high refresh rate screens on only the Pro models, with even the latest iPhone 16 and 16 Plus only offering a 60Hz panel.

According to ETNews, all models in the iPhone 17 lineup will sport LTPO screens sourced from Samsung and LG.
Apple has offered 120Hz screens, branded as ProMotion displays, on its Pro iPhone models since 2021. It turns on an always-on display feature. This year's iPhone 16 has a 6.1-inch Super Retina XDR OLED display while the iPhone 16 Plus houses a larger 6.7-inch Super Retina XDR OLED display, but capped at 60Hz.
Previously, various leaks indicated that Apple will bring a new "Slim" or "Air" variant with the iPhone 17 series replacing the Plus version. The iPhone 17 Pro models are likely to be powered by Apple's A19 Pro chip alongside 12GB RAM.
