In an unexpected turn of events, a carrier in South Korea has seemingly leaked the specifications for the highly anticipated iPhone 17 lineup. This includes exciting features such as 8K video support for the Pro models and key details regarding the new iPhone 17 Air. With only two days remaining until Apple officially unveils the new lineup, these leaks provide a glimpse into what consumers can expect from the upcoming iPhone 17 smartphones.
The information has been shared by well-known leaker @Jukanlosreve on the social media platform X, showcasing specification sheets that appear to have been distributed internally among mobile networks in South Korea. These sheets include essential specifications for the four main iPhone models, as well as a direct comparison between the iPhone 17 Air and the Samsung S25 Edge.
According to the leaked specifications, the Pro models of the iPhone 17 will be powered by the new A19 Pro chip and feature 12GB of memory. In contrast, both the iPhone 17 Air and the standard iPhone 17 will utilize the A19 chip, but with 8GB of memory. This ensures that while the Pro models are designed for power users, the standard and Air models still provide solid performance.
When it comes to display size, both the iPhone 17 and iPhone 17 Pro will sport a 6.3-inch display. The iPhone 17 Air is set to have a slightly larger 6.6-inch panel, while the Pro Max will remain the largest device in the lineup with a generous 6.9-inch screen. This range of display sizes caters to various user preferences, from compact to larger screens.
The camera specifications show that the iPhone 17 will continue with the familiar dual-camera setup, including a 48MP sensor paired with a 12MP camera. On the other hand, the iPhone 17 Air will feature a single 48MP camera capable of recording 4K video. For photography enthusiasts, the Pro models promise even more advanced capabilities, boasting the ability to capture 8K-resolution video.
Battery capacity varies across the lineup, with the iPhone 17 featuring a 3,600mAh battery, the Air at 2,800mAh, the Pro at 3,700mAh, and the Pro Max leading with a robust 6,000mAh battery. In terms of storage options, the iPhone 17 and Air will offer capacities ranging from 128GB to 512GB, while the Pro models will provide an expansive range from 128GB to 1TB, and the Pro Max will have options between 256GB to 1TB.
The leaked specifications appear to align closely with previous industry rumors, reinforcing the credibility of the information. However, it’s worth noting that carriers are typically not briefed on these details ahead of time. Spec sheets are often generated from circulating rumors and may undergo alterations before the official announcement, making it essential to await Apple's official reveal for confirmation.
