All eyes may be on the iPhone 16, with an anticipated launch this fall that could usher in an new era for Apple’s iPhones as Apple Intelligence drives many new AI experiences we haven’t seen before. While the iPhone 16 Pro and iPhone 16 Pro Max should get the most exposure in the lineup, you may want to hold off on upgrading to either model, given the details that have started to emerge about the iPhone 17.
There are several reasons why you should skip the iPhone 16 for the iPhone 17, as early rumors hint at massive upgrades to the 2025 phones that could redefine the series. Year-over-year upgrades such as brighter screens, better cameras, and longer battery life are all expected for the iPhone 17, but we could end up seeing yet another generation defining model — much like how the iPhone X turbocharged Apple's phone lineup in every imaginable way back in 2017.
