iPhone 17 Model Could Launch In These Bright Colours, Display Size Also Tipped
Last Updated:
iPhone 17 series is tipped to get a new colour variant and Apple seems to be deciding which one of the two will be officially launched.
iPhone 17 series launch is getting closer and after the less than exciting WWDC 2025 earlier this month, all focus shifts to the big event in September. The new iPhone 17 base model could be lining up alongside the iPhone 17 Air moniker, with some rumours suggesting that Apple will ditch the Plus model from here on. However, new leaks have come out this week which claims Apple could brighten up the iPhone lineup with some new colours offered with the base model.
Apple is likely to bring the iPhone 17 in new purple and green shades this year. These new options are expected to be limited to the regular variants while the Pro models continue to feature in premium grey, gold and blue-like colours.
The details from tipster Majin Bu suggests Apple could look at either of these new shades for the iPhone 17 model and could finally go with purple as the new option for buyers this year. The tipster has even shared the images of the iPhone 17 model which looks similar to the 16 series, with the vertical camera setup at the back.
iPhone 17 series is expected to get some major display upgrades, especially the non-Pro variants this year. However, reports state that Apple could offer 120Hz refresh rate for the OLED display and drop the ProMotion aspect of the panel for its regular iPhone 17 and 17 Plus as well as the 17 Air models.
iPhone 17 Air is the other big interest among readers these days, purely because of its sleek design and the cutbacks because of it. Apple is tipped to adopt the silicone carbon tech for its battery on this model which should ease some concerns about its standby time. Samsung has shown us that a slim phone does not have to suffer with the right management in place and Apple should also be able to make that happen for the Air variant.

iPhone 17 Pro dummy leak hints at bold camera redesign, 12GB RAM and A19 Pro Chip
Fresh leaks surrounding the upcoming iPhone 17 Pro have set social media abuzz, revealing a bold redesign of its rear camera system and significant internal upgrades. A dummy unit of the highly anticipated device has surfaced online, giving enthusiasts a glimpse into what Apple may have in store for its 2025 flagship. Popular tipster Majin Bu posted images of the iPhone 17 Pro dummy on X (formerly Twitter), showing a revamped rear layout. The device still features a triple-camera setup, similar to last year's iPhone 16 Pro and Pro Max. However, all three sensors are now housed in a larger, horizontal strip. An LED flash is positioned in the top-right corner, and a LiDAR scanner—now accompanied by its own LED—also appears in the module. The iPhone 17 Pro is expected to include substantial performance enhancements, including up to 12GB of RAM across all models—Apple's biggest RAM upgrade yet. Rumors suggest the phone will be powered by the Apple A19 Pro Bionic chip, and come equipped with two 48MP cameras and one 12MP sensor on the back. Battery life improvements and support for faster wired and wireless charging are also anticipated—features that users have long requested. Adding to the hype, a user claimed to have spotted the iPhone 17 Pro in the hands of a fellow passenger during a test flight to Bangladesh, though the authenticity of that sighting remains unverified. As Apple enthusiasts eagerly await the official launch, these leaks offer the clearest look yet at what could be a significant leap in design and performance for the iPhone lineup.

DeepSeek faces expulsion from app stores in Germany
HighlightsGermany's data protection commissioner Meike Kamp has requested that Apple Inc. and Google LLC remove the Chinese artificial intelligence startup DeepSeek from their app stores due to concerns over illegal data transfers to China. DeepSeek has been criticized for failing to provide adequate evidence that the personal data of German users is protected in China at a level comparable to that within the European Union. The technology company DeepSeek has faced scrutiny in multiple countries, with Italy already blocking its app and the Netherlands banning its use on government devices due to data security concerns. Germany 's data protection commissioner has asked Apple and Google to remove Chinese AI startup DeepSeek from their app stores in the country due to concerns about data protection, following a similar crackdown elsewhere. Commissioner Meike Kamp said in a statement on Friday that she had made the request because DeepSeek illegally transfers users' personal data to China. The two US tech giants must now review the request promptly and decide whether to block the app in Germany, she added, though her office has not set a precise timeframe. Google said it had received the notice and was reviewing it. DeepSeek did not respond to a request for comment. Apple was not immediately available for comment. According to its own privacy policy, DeepSeek stores numerous pieces of personal data, such as requests to its AI programme or uploaded files, on computers in China. "DeepSeek has not been able to provide my agency with convincing evidence that German users' data is protected in China to a level equivalent to that in the European Union," Kamp said. "Chinese authorities have far-reaching access rights to personal data within the sphere of influence of Chinese companies," she added. The commissioner said she took the decision after asking DeepSeek in May to meet the requirements for non-EU data transfers or else voluntarily withdraw its app. DeepSeek did not comply with this request, she added. DeepSeek shook the technology world in January with claims that it had developed an AI model to rival those from U.S. firms such as ChatGPT creator OpenAI at much lower cost. However, it has come under scrutiny in the United States and Europe for its data security policies. Italy blocked it from app stores there earlier this year, citing a lack of information on its use of personal data, while the Netherlands has banned it on government devices. Belgium has recommended government officials not to use DeepSeek. "Further analyses are underway to evaluate the approach to be followed," a government spokesperson said. In Spain, the consumer rights group OCU asked the government's data protection agency in February to investigate threats likely posed by DeepSeek, though no ban has come into force. US lawmakers plan to introduce a bill that would ban U.S. executive agencies from using any AI models developed in China. Reuters exclusively reported this week that DeepSeek is aiding China's military and intelligence operations.

Fine living Slim is still in
Slim smartphones were supposed to be a relic of the past—remember when thin was the 'thing'? Clearly, Samsung didn't get the memo; they printed it out, framed it, and put it on the wall as inspiration. Enter the Samsung Galaxy S25 Edge, a device so svelte it practically demands its own diet plan. But does thinness cost functionality? Let's dive in.
