After a few leaks about the upcoming iPhone 17 colors, a report says it was able to get all the options expected for this lineup.

The introduction of the A19 across the board for the iPhone 17 range is promising. That said, Apple has an outstanding track record for delivering processors which are fast and reliable performers. So, whatever the name of the processor, it’s likely to be up to the task.

However, a new rumor from respected analyst Ming-Chi Kuo provides a potential interesting detail about the iPhone Fold. Specifically, Apple could team up with Samsung Display (SDC) for its folding iPhone — a smart move for Apple, given that Samsung has just released the Galaxy Z Fold 7 to promising early reviews.

The iPhone 17 Air is said to be the only iPhone 17 model to feature a titanium frame. Apple’s decision probably concerns durability.

Apple did something similar with the iPhone X: leaning on Samsung's manufacturing prowess, but improving upon it.

According to tipster @Jukanlosreve, the iPhone Fold will feature a 7.8-inch inner display and a 5.5-inch cover display. It will reportedly be powered by Apple's A20

Since 2017's iPhone X, Apple's most expensive phones have used stainless steel or titanium. If the iPhone 17 Pro and Pro Max return to aluminum, it would be a big material change, as reported by MacRumors. Apple is likely to expand on its design team's thought process when it officially announces the iPhone 17 this fall.

Apple’s secret to a crease-free screen on its foldable iPhone might be a “display metal plate,” reports Kuo. I’ll just quote his reasoning:

Apple's long-rumored foldable iPhone will likely have a starting price between $1,800 and $2,000 in the U.S., analysts at

Screen mass production is supposed to begin in the fourth quarter of this year, so the foldable iPhone can go on sale in 2026.

Apple’s investment in the mining company MP Materials will also help the tech giant reduce its dependence on China for rare earth metals.
