Forget the Air and Pro, the base iPhone 17 may be Apple’s best upgrade
Most iPhone 17 rumors so far have focused on the iPhone 17 Air and 17 Pro Max. The former is Apple's ultra-thin handset that will replace the Plus variant. The latter is Apple's best possible iPhone of 2025, a device that might pack some exclusive features. But the fact is that not all buyers will go for these models. Some won't like the inevitable Air compromises. Others might not appreciate the Pro Max size or starting price. The base iPhone 17 will turn out to be a great alternative for those buyers, just like the base iPhone 16 is a very good choice this year.
If the rumors are accurate, the base iPhone 17 might be the biggest base iPhone upgrade we've seen in years. Among the upgrades, Apple will reportedly finally bring ProMotion support to the cheapest iPhone in the upcoming lineup, something fans have been asking for years. Once that happens, the iPhone 17 will be on par with alternatives from rivals when it comes to 120Hz refresh rate displays.
