New iPhone 17 and iPhone 18 details revealed: Why waiting for the iPhone 18 could be worth it

New leaks reveal iPhone 18’s upgraded chipset, display, and camera may outshine the iPhone 17, making it worth waiting until 2026 to upgrade.

If you’re considering an iPhone upgrade, new leaks about the upcoming iPhone 17 and iPhone 18 suggest it might be wise to hold off until 2026. With notable improvements expected for the iPhone 18, these leaks hint at features that could make the wait worthwhile. Here’s what you need to know.

iPhone 17 Pro cameras take the spotlight

According to a report from The Elec, a reputable South Korean source, Apple’s suppliers are gearing up to enhance their production facilities for the iPhone 17 Pro camera modules. While this points to potential advancements in camera technology, there’s disappointing news for the standard iPhone 17 and its slimmer sibling, the iPhone 17 Air (or iPhone 17 Slim).

These models are not expected to receive the periscope lens technology seen in the Pro and Pro Max versions. Without the 5x optical zoom, the standard models will likely remain closer to the current iPhone 16 lineup, which features a dual-lens setup with a 48MP main camera and a 12MP ultrawide lens. Optical zoom, however, remains exclusive to the Pro line for now.

Major display changes predicted for iPhone 18

Display technology could see a significant upgrade in the iPhone 18 series. Trusted leaker @Jukanlosreve has shared that the iPhone 18 may introduce a next-generation LTPO+ display. Current LTPO (low-temperature polycrystalline oxide) technology supports features like dynamic refresh rates and always-on displays without draining the battery.

While details about the “plus” enhancement remain vague, it’s anticipated to further improve power efficiency and performance, making your phone last even longer on a single charge. This upgrade could set a new benchmark for energy-saving display technology.

Significant chipset improvements on the horizon

The iPhone 17 may disappoint the chipset department, as leaks suggest its A19 chip won’t see a major performance boost. However, the iPhone 18’s A20 chip promises a leap forward, potentially being developed in collaboration with Intel.

Currently, Apple relies on TSMC (Taiwan Semiconductor Manufacturing Company) for its processors. A shift to Intel would significantly change Apple’s production strategy. The A20 chip is expected to deliver higher efficiency and performance, giving the iPhone 18 a considerable edge over its predecessor.
