BREAKING: A South Korean carrier iPhone 16 vs iPhone 17 spec comparison document has leaked online, revealing NEW info that was previously unknown. So I cropped into different sections and used Google Translate image upload and found shocking details! 🧵

First off, the iPhone 17 Air will have a high-density battery and a genuine battery case as an add-on. Only the 17 Pro models will get a vapor chamber cooling system, with no difference between the two. 🧵

Shockingly, the 17 Air will not come with a A19 Pro chip but only the A19 which means 8GB of RAM. This makes the most sense to me as it’s a super thin phone. All four models get 24MP selfie cams. 17 has 1% larger battery. 17 Air gets 2,800mAh 17 PM gets 5,000mAh 🧵

Biggest SHOCK: Both 17 Pro and Pro Max get triple 48MP camera on the back. Previously unknown is that BOTH models get an 8x optical telephoto camera and 8K video recording. Had to crop and play with sharpness in Google Translate to reveal all of this info. 🧵

For colors, 17 Air gets light gold and light blue (sky blue) 17 Pro gets Navy Blue and Orange. iPhone 17 confirmed to get 6.3ā€ display size. 6.6ā€ for 17 Air. No changes for 17 Pro models 🧵

Also Shocking: 17 is same price as before: $799 17 Air is 12% more or $899, at least in South Korean KRW 17 Pro 128GB is SAME $999 as 16 Pro 128GB, at least in South Korean KRW. However, it may mean it’s only for some markets? 256GB is $1,150 17 PM is $1,250 Only $50 increases

I have a feeling a LOT more people will upgrade to the new iPhone 17 Pro models, despite the $50 price increases relative to storage. Why? New aluminum unibody redesign with vapor chamber and new camera bumps that house the new 8x optical zoom cameras. 8K video recording!!

@VadimYuryev 8x may be sensor cropping also

@kybrdnthsst Good point! But 10x would make more sense for sensor crop.

@VadimYuryev Whats the 17 pro mah

@VadimYuryev @grok Please summarize the differences.

@VadimYuryev So, it’s just a glorified camera upgrade?

@VadimYuryev Is this going to make 4K spatial video possible? Logically, with all the different numbers you have mentioned, it should be possible.

@VadimYuryev The Air really could be slam dunk if it had a few hundred more battery capacity

@VadimYuryev ā€œNEW info that was previously unknown.ā€ Isn’t ā€œpreviously unknownā€ the definition of ā€œnewā€?

@VadimYuryev That’s a very useful info Vadim

@VadimYuryev SO BOTH THE PROS GET THE NEW CAMERA HARDWARE?? 🄹 i’m so happy rn, i really wanted to get a compact phone and i would’ve been forced to get the Pro Max if the new camera hardware was exclusive to it lmao 😭

@VadimYuryev Bro, are you sure? There are still 128g of storage in the 17pro

@VadimYuryev 8GB of memory for how much? 1000 dollars? Apple Tards are hopelessly lost when Apple does the grift.

@VadimYuryev Was hoping pro max would have some exclusive feature over the Pro

@VadimYuryev Also it’s disappointing to see pro model still starting at 128 GB

@VadimYuryev And they are offering 128GB minimum capacity. The same capacity like in 2021 for iPhone 13. 🤦

@VadimYuryev According to ChatGPT. The text next to 128GB in the AIP17P row is: (ė©”ģø ģ²“ķ¬ėŖØėø) In English, it translates to: šŸ‘‰ "(Main check model)" or "(Main reference model)" So basically it means the 128GB version is the primary model used for testing/review/benchmarking.

@VadimYuryev I was one of the idiots who upgraded to the 16 pro last year. Sigh. ā€œDesigned for Apple intelligenceā€

@VadimYuryev What about regular iPhone 17 colors? Black, White, Steel Grey, and others?

@VadimYuryev @VadimYuryev I think prices are relative to the area your in, US prices are bound to be higher due to tariffs

@VadimYuryev 126 GB in 2025 for an iphone thats more than 800 dollars is terrible. Also lets wait, to find non-pro models will only have 60 hz in 2025. Huge L for real consumers, other than šŸ‘.

@VadimYuryev I’m guessing no anti reflective screen yet for pro models? The 8x optical for the reg 17 pro is a nice addition though.

@VadimYuryev But nothing is shocking, it’s interesting, but not shocking.

@VadimYuryev Worth upgrading over 16 pro 128gb to either iPhone air 128gb or iPhone 17 pro 128gb can't decide

@VadimYuryev what a disappointment. 8gb of RAM is just corporate greed. i bet the base models have 60Hz displays too..
