iPhone 17 Full Specs and Pricing Leak Before Official Launch

Just hours before Apple is scheduled to lift the curtain on its next flagship phones, a major leak has surfaced from South Korea’s KT Telecom, spilling what appears to be the full hardware rundown of the entire iPhone 17 lineup. The leak, presented in a detailed spec and pricing table, outlines everything from display sizes to camera setups for the four incoming models: iPhone 17, iPhone 17 Air, iPhone 17 Pro, and iPhone 17 Pro Max.

The entry-level iPhone 17 will feature a 6.3-inch display, Apple’s latest A19 processor, 8GB of RAM, and storage options ranging from 128GB to 512GB.

Its camera system remains unchanged from last year’s iPhone 16, with a 48MP main lens and a 12MP ultrawide shooter, but a slightly larger 3,600mAh battery should provide better endurance. Pricing in Korea is set at KRW 1,250,000 (roughly $900), with colors including Black, White, Lime, and Red.

Joining it is the all-new iPhone 17 Air, a curious addition to Apple’s catalog. While it mirrors most of the base model’s specs – A19 chipset, 8GB RAM, and a single 48MP camera – it stretches the screen to 6.6 inches. Strangely, this larger display is paired with a much smaller 2,800mAh battery, which many see as a questionable design choice. At KRW 1,400,000 ($1,000), the Air model seems aimed at those who want size without the heavier price tag of the Pro versions, though battery life could be a sticking point.

The premium side of the lineup consists of the iPhone 17 Pro and iPhone 17 Pro Max, both featuring the new A19 Pro chipset, 12GB of RAM, and storage configurations that climb to 1TB. The Pro keeps the 6.3-inch display, starting at 128GB of storage despite earlier rumors pointing to 256GB as the new baseline. The Pro Max stretches to a massive 6.9-inch panel and does indeed begin with 256GB, topping out at 1TB. Both Pro models boast a quad-camera setup with three 48MP sensors (main, ultrawide, telephoto) capable of 8K recording, a clear push toward professional-grade content creation.

Battery capacities differ slightly: the iPhone 17 Pro will house a 3,700mAh unit, while the Pro Max carries a hefty 5,000mAh cell. Pricing reflects the premium jump – the Pro is listed at KRW 1,550,000 ($1,116) and the Pro Max at KRW 1,940,000 ($1,397). Both come in elegant finishes: White, Black, Blue, and Gold.

The leak doesn’t just reveal specs; it reignites long-standing debates among fans. Many are now questioning whether Apple will finally upgrade the refresh rate on its non-Pro devices. The absence of ProMotion-like displays on base models has become increasingly hard to justify, especially as competitors widely adopt 120Hz as standard. Some argue that even a more modest adaptive refresh implementation would be better than sticking to 60Hz in 2025. Apple, with its marketing prowess, could easily coin a fresh term – perhaps ‘i-Motion’ – to brand the upgrade.

Overall, the KT Telecom leak offers one of the clearest glimpses yet into Apple’s 2025 strategy: a slight battery bump for the base model, a curious lightweight ‘Air’ variant, and heavily specced Pro models meant to anchor the high end of the smartphone market. With the official keynote imminent, we’ll soon learn whether these details were accurate or just another elaborate pre-launch distraction.
