Aside from the standard iPhone lineup, media reports have claimed that Apple will unveil a new 6.6-inch iPhone 17 Air, its slim and light model that's a step away from the company introducing foldable devices into its roster.

If you own a second-generation iPhone SE and iPhone 11 series or newer, you'll get access to the latest version of iOS. Of course, iOS 26 is coming to the upcoming iPhone 17 models and everything else in between. Now, if you own an iPhone XS, iPhone XS Max, and iPhone XR, the last software update you'll get is iOS 18. But you will continue to get security updates for a few more years.

If the rumours are true, you shouldn't expect a big upgrade for the base iPhone 17 model. While Apple is supposedly increasing its screen size to 6.3 inches, compared with 6.1 inches, that might be the most significant change. A new research note by GF Securities said the iPhone 17 will run on the iPhone 16's A18 chip with 8GB of RAM, despite the rest of the series being powered by the A19 processor and 12GB of RAM.

So, unless you're looking for a bigger screen, it probably won't make sense to upgrade to the iPhone 17 if you're coming from an older base model iPhone. But, as GSMArena pointed out, the lack of change might be a strategy to get you to upgrade to the more expensive models.
