Recent rumors about the upcoming iPhone 17 suggested a potential screen size increase to 6.3", hinting at exciting changes. However, a new research note by analyst Jeff Pu reveals that the iPhone 17 will feature the same A18 chip and 8GB of RAM as its predecessor, the iPhone 16.

Despite other models in the same lineup receiving upgrades to the A19 chip and 12GB of RAM, the iPhone 17's lack of advancements may disappoint potential buyers. The decision to keep the chipset and RAM the same as the iPhone 16 raises questions about Apple's strategy and may push consumers towards the more expensive models.
