iPhone 17, the ‘thinnest iPhone ever,’ and everything else we’re expecting out of Apple’s hardware event

Apple is expected to hold its hardware event on September 9, unveiling the iPhone 17 lineup alongside updates to the Apple Watch and AirPods. The iPhone 17 series will include the standard 17, 17 Pro, and 17 Pro Max models, with notable changes such as a slightly larger 6.3-inch screen on the base model and a 120Hz display, up from 60Hz. The front camera is rumored to be upgraded to 24 megapixels, and new colors like purple and green may be introduced. The Pro model might feature a redesigned rear camera layout with a rectangular bar spanning the phone’s width, and a shift from a titanium to an aluminum frame to reduce weight and cost. The Pro Max is expected to have fewer upgrades but could include a thicker body to house a larger battery. Pricing is anticipated to start around $800 for the iPhone 17, $1,050 for the Pro, and $1,250 for the Pro Max,
