Recent rumors suggest that the upcoming iPhone 17 will sport a larger screen than the current iPhone 16, bringing it in line with the iPhone 16 Pro’s dimensions. Display analyst Ross Young previously asserted that the iPhone 17 could feature a 6.3-inch display, notably larger than the 6.1-inch screen of the iPhone 16. This assertion has been corroborated by the well-known leaker “Digital Chat Station.”
In a recent statement, the leaker mentioned that the revised screen size of the iPhone 17 is likely to be between 6.27 and 6.3 inches. While the more specific measurement is the 6.27 inches, it appears that the broader reference will be 6.3 inches. Although further details are lacking from the leaker’s report on social media, if these claims hold true, the iPhone 17 would indeed match the screen dimensions of the iPhone 16 Pro.
Additionally, speculation arises from case manufacturer Spigen, who has seemingly hinted at a case compatible with both the iPhone 17 and the iPhone 17 Pro. Typically, case makers base their designs on anticipated specifications, making Spigen’s unintentional leak suggestive, yet not conclusive. While the notion of a 6.3-inch screen isn’t entirely new, it has been met with skepticism by some analysts.
Nevertheless, if both the iPhone 17 and iPhone 17 Pro are confirmed to have identical screen sizes, this would not be unprecedented. A similar situation arose in 2023 when the iPhone 15 and iPhone 15 Pro shared the same display dimensions. Importantly, “Digital Chat Station” has a track record of accurate predictions, although the increasing volume of their posts raises questions about the impact of selective memory on their reliability.
