All models of iPhone 17 could use the same high-quality Samsung Display OLED panel as the iPhone 16 Pro models, instead of having a difference in screen tech between the two model tiers.
Apple could decide to switch up the chassis materials for its 2025 iPhone line, as an unlikely rumor suggests that the slim iPhone 17 will adopt a titanium midframe instead of the expected iPhone 17 Pro.
The non-Pro models often use earlier mixes, such as M12 on the iPhone 16 and iPhone 16 Plus, as well as the iPhone 15.
By shifting over to M14 for the entire collection, Apple offers some of the Pro display benefits to the standard models in the iPhone 17, including higher levels of brightness and reduced power consumption.
While this is true for the iPhone 16 generation, the iPhone 17 range will seemingly use the same display panel technology across the board.
