iPhone 17 Pro models upgrades

According to a 9To5Mac report, industry analyst Jeff Pu, the iPhone 16 series may not be a worthy upgrade for smartphones due to “limited specs upgrade.” The upcoming iPhone 16 series is expected to retain a similar design as older iPhone generations, with minor hardware upgrades, and others. However, next year's iPhone 17 series could be revolutionary with greater upgrades planned. Reportedly, Jeff stated that the iPhone 17 series will likely boost Apple sales due to several tweaks and upgrades coming to smartphones.
