Express your thoughts: what features are you anticipating in the upcoming iPhone 17?

The tech world is abuzz with anticipation as Apple prepares to unveil its next flagship smartphone, the iPhone 17. The next Apple event is scheduled for approximately two weeks from now, and tech enthusiasts are eagerly waiting for the latest updates.

The event is expected to introduce the new iPhone 17 and iPhone 17 Pro models, as well as a potential iPhone 17 Air. Apple's rumored iPhone release schedule shake-up has sparked some debate, but many believe it could be one of the company's worst ideas in years.

One of the most significant improvements rumoured for the iPhone 17 Pro is its ability to outshine the iPhone 16 Pro in five key areas. The author, among others, hopes that the iPhone 17 will feature a 120Hz display, similar to the iPhone 16 Pro Max, for a smoother and more responsive user experience.

The desire for a refined design is also apparent, with many users expressing a preference for a sleeker dual rear-camera module. In addition, users expect advanced cooling with a Vapor Chamber for longer battery life and brighter displays, alongside a thinner design.

Improved battery life is another feature that users are eagerly anticipating. The iPhone 16 has been criticised for its 60Hz screen compared to the 120Hz screen of the iPhone 16 Pro Max, and many believe that the iPhone 17 could address this issue.

Enhanced camera capabilities are also high on the wish list. The author suggests that the iPhone 17 should feature 48-megapixel cameras, including for the Air model, to capture high-quality photos and videos.

A poll has been made for readers to vote on the core upgrades they are most excited for in the next-generation Apple phone. The most desired feature, according to the poll, is an improved ProMotion display with a 120 Hz adaptive refresh rate. Other popular choices include better battery life, a larger 6.3-inch screen, and support for Dynamic Island even on lower-end models.

Readers are encouraged to share what they would like to see from the iPhone 17 and why in the comments section at the foot of the article. The event will be covered both on-site and remotely, bringing all the news and reactions to whatever's announced.
