The base model of the upcoming iPhone 17 is expected to have minimal upgrades compared to its predecessor, the iPhone 16.
The iPhone 17 base model will retain the A18 chip and 8GB of RAM, offering slight improvements in performance and display.
The screen size of the base model is set to increase to 6.3 inches with a 120 Hz refresh rate and a rumored 24MP selfie camera.
Analysts suggest that Apple is focusing on driving consumers towards the higher-end models like the iPhone 17 Pro and Air, which feature more advanced features and better profit margins.
