We've recently seen a whirlwind of breaks around the iPhone 17 (due September 2025) and the iPhone 18 (due September 2026) - and in the event that the data in them is exact, you should hold on until the last handset is out for your next iPhone update.
First up, a report in regarded South Korea outlet The Elec (through 9to5Mac) says that Apple's camera module providers are overhauling their creation offices prepared to begin pushing out cameras prepared for the iPhone 17 Master.
Notwithstanding, there won't be any periscope focal points for the standard iPhone 17 and the iPhone 17 Air (or iPhone 17 Thin), as indicated by the report. That evidently implies no 5x optical zoom move up to match the Star and Genius Max one year from now.
Have a perused of our iPhone 16 survey and you'll see it accompanies a double focal point 48MP fundamental + 12MP ultrawide camera on the back, similar to the iPhone 16 Or more, with no optical zoom capacities. There may be camera overhauls one year from now, yet it doesn't appear to be like a 5x optical zoom will be among them.
Our second little goody of data comes from laid out insider @Jukanlosreve, who says that a LTPO+ show tech overhaul is in the offing for the iPhone 18 series. LTPO (low-temperature polycrystalline oxide) is the tech that empowers dynamic revive rates and consistently on shows that don't obliterate battery duration.
Despite the fact that we get no data about what the 'in addition to' variation of LTPO includes, we're expecting it implies further execution increments and power productivity upgrades, to lessen the requests on the battery much further.
To wrap things up, Chinese leaker Fixed Center Computerized (by means of @Jukanlosreve) expresses that there won't be significant enhancements in the A19 chips fabricated for the iPhone 17, yet there will be in the A20 chips for the iPhone 18 - which might be made with the assistance of Intel.
Apple as of now collaborates with TSMC (the Taiwan Semiconductor Assembling Organization) for its iPhone processors, so a change to Intel would be critical - and could make the iPhone 18 a more engaging overhaul than the following year's iPhone 17.
