I will start with the apology: I regret that I wrote this article now, because probably only three weeks to launch the iPhone Next -generation that we and many others in the technological world have been dubbed as an iPhone 17.
This means that almost confidently you have to wait for new iPhones to find instead of running the purchase if you do not need it absolutely; Even in this case, it may be better to buy an old second model or iPhone 16e that serves you to get off the road and serve you as a backup phone if you have a brand new iPhone.
So, I could finish the article here and apologize late; We had a great sale for the Prime Minister and launch Google Pixel 10, Pixel 10 Pro, Pixel 10 Pro XL and Pixel 10 Pro Fold, which distracted me.
But there are two questions I can still answer largely: if you expected, should you shoot? And if you just bought the iPhone 16 model, you were wrong? I think I can answer both questions at the same time.
The desire of apples
Let’s start on the other question: no, I don’t think you are wrong because I believe that all iPhone 16 models are pretty good. Although I don’t like that iPhone 16 and iPhone 16 Plus continue to use 60 Hz screens, they are still good phones if you want to play in the Apple’s fence.
I am a great iPhone 16 Pro and iPhone 16 Pro Max defender, the latter is what I use as a personal phone because they combine performance, elegant industrial design and great cameras in the perfect user experience. They can be a little sad and innovative compared to some of the best Android phones, but these iPhones cannot be mistaken.
Judging by the rumors so far, I am not convinced that the iPhone 17 series will be a great promotion against the current range of phones. There are signs that four new iPhone will be 120 Hz Screens I like because I really like high update screens. In addition, there are rumors that the iPhone Pro will have a phone camera with 48 megapixels, which should help improve photos with scaling.
There are rumors that the iPhone 17 Air can replace the PLUS model and offer a high and great iPhone option, but I don’t hope this revolution in Apple’s phones.
In addition, the probable improvement of the chips of the series A seems that this year will become a great change for the iPhone. So, my impression is that you do not need to be too excited about the next Apple event in terms of phones, but you can ensure that the iPhone 17 again offers the best iPhone experience, even if it is only a gradual improvement regarding the iPhone 16.
It’s in the II area where I think Apple will gather a little more attention this year. Running Apple Intelligence was not easy and I just started noticing some of its benefits. So, I think Apple focus a little more on new AI features that will come with new iPhones, in addition to the selection of those that were discovered at the WWDC 2025 with the presentation of iOS 26.
I hope the Cupertino team really focuses on Apple Intelligence features that will be available iPhone 17 as soon as I remove it out of the box, instead, there may be a regional or issued release. Of course, if you have an iPhone 16, almost confidently you can perform these features after updating, but that doesn’t mean you should see the Apple event -oriented on the iPhone 17.
Given this, Techradar will be responsible for the proposal of all news, advertising and analysis of Apple’s next event, and in the previous days we will analyze rumors and leaks at the last minute. So be careful.
