Pro is right around the corner, so it's time to see how it stacks against its distant and not-so-distant relatives. Today we're going to pit theThis preliminary comparison is still based on leaks, rumors, and our experience in the industry, but we're aiming to answer the most important question.

Is it time to upgrade, and is it worth waiting for theThe same ProMotion 120Hz OLED display6.1-inch display with 1179 x 2556 resolutioniPhone 17 Pro Max vs iPhone 16 Pro Max: Main differences to expectLeaked dummies of the iPhone 17 series phones, the iPhone 17 Pro is the second from the left | Image by Weibo When it comes to design, Apple is normally pretty conservative with the changes. Not this time. The company is expected to bring the biggest design change in years, and if we're to believe the leaked CAD renders and dummies, the back of thePro metrics in this section are still a mystery, but given the bigger screen, the phone should be just a tad larger and heavier than thewas the first iPhone to feature grade 5 titanium, and the latest rumors suggest that Apple might revert to an aluminum frame for thePro follows in the footsteps of the previous model, which means that it will most likely be the same 6.3-inch ProMotion screen as the one on the, on the other hand, was the last"Pro" with a 6.1-inch display, featuring a slightly different resolution but landing at the same pixel density at around 460 PPI.Pro is expected to get the 120Hz ProMotion treatment with a resolution of 1206 x 2622 pixels. There's also rumors of a new display tech called Pro. This might boost the brightness of the new model to 3000 nits peak, if we're to believe the latest rumors on the subject.Pro is expected to be equipped with the new Apple A19 Pro chip. There were some rumors suggesting that Apple will manufacture this silicon on a 2nm node, but the latest info talks about an improved 3nm manufacturing technology.comes with the A17 Pro, which is made on a 3nm node, and still offers plenty of raw power to tackle all day-to-day tasks, and even the most power-intense applications.Leaked alleged real-life photo of the upcoming iPhone 17 Pro | Image by @kdctweets on X Apple went through some changes in the telephoto department of the iPhone Pro models in the past couple of generations. Thecomes with a 3x telephoto camera. Then last year Apple upgraded that to the same tetraprism optics found on the Pro Max model, featuring 5x zoom.Pro, however, we might be in for another change - the telephoto camera is expected to receive a boost in megapixel count - to 48MP. No tetraprism, though, and the expected optical zoom is down to 3.5x. The ultrawide camera has also been upgraded to a 48MP sensor last year, and thePro, as Apple never list the exact numbers anyway. We expect the capacity to be either carried over the last generation, or slightly upgraded. This would mean s slight advantage over the, as Apple overhauled the battery of the Pro after the 15, due to the bigger screen size that came with theIn terms of charging, an area that has long been a source of frustration for Apple fans, we expect that thePro will increase wired charging speed to 35W. We don't know whether this will translate into faster charging or not, but will do our tests and see what's what when the phone lands in our lab. ThePro might offer enough upgrades to justify this decision.
