Apple Increases iPhone Production This Year with More Pro and Pro Max Models
Apple is preparing to unveil its upcoming iPhone 16 series on September 9 this year, according to reports. Details about Apple’s production plans have emerged providing insight into what the Pro and non-Pro models will look like.
The Elec plans will initially produce around 90.1 million iPhones slightly more than last year’s target of 86.2 million. The company will focus on the Pro Max models which are expected to make up 37% of the total mix translating to 33.2 million units.
The regular iPhone 16 Pro units will also see an increase with production expected to reach 26.6 million (30%), up from last year’s 21.8 million iPhone 15 Pro models.
The non-Pro variants will make up 33% of the total production with the standard iPhone 16 will see a modest rise from 21.8 million units last year to 24.5 million (27%). However, the iPhone 16 Plus will see a reduction in production with only 5.8 million (6%). This is the only model that will see a reduction. This is a decrease from last year’s production of 8.5 million iPhone 15 Plus units.
Plans can always change depending on the demand. However, it’s clear that the demand for the Plus model has been declining over the years, and there are rumors that Apple might replace it with another iPhone variant in the future.
The increase in production of the iPhone 16 Pro and 16 Pro Max models which is a sign that Apple is expecting higher revenue from these devices. These are the most expensive models in Apple’s lineup and they may carry larger profit margins as well.
Let’s be honest—every new iPhone launch feels like a mini festival for tech lovers. The hardware shines, the cameras get smarter, the displays get brighter… but if you ask me, the very first thing that makes your iPhone yours is the wallpaper you choose.
And with the brand-new iPhone Air and iPhone 17 Pro series, Apple hasn’t just given us next-gen devices—they’ve dropped some seriously gorgeous wallpapers that are worth talking about.
The First Impression: More Than Just Backgrounds
You know that feeling when you unbox a new iPhone, peel the plastic, and power it on for the first time? The wallpaper on that screen sets the mood instantly. Apple clearly understands this. That’s why the iPhone 17 series wallpapers aren’t random designs—they’re built to complement the phone’s vibe.
This year, we are seeing:
- Liquid Glass Effects – glossy gradients that almost look alive.
- Color-matched backgrounds – wallpapers blending with the exact finish of your device.
- Pro exclusives – bold designs with “PRO” typography that scream premium.
- Dark & Light Variants – perfect depending on whether you’re a night owl or a sunshine scroller.
Why They Look Better on the iPhone 17 Series?
Apple’s hardware plays a big role here. The ultra-thin iPhone 17 Air and the ProMotion OLED displays on both Air and Pro models make these wallpapers pop. With peak brightness hitting insane levels, subtle gradients, neon accents, or deep blacks look sharper than ever.
In short: these wallpapers aren’t just pretty pictures—they’re designed to flex the display tech.

Picking the Right Wallpaper (Because It Matters)
- 1. Match or Contrast – Got a dark iPhone? Try a light wallpaper. Got a light finish? Dark mode wallpapers will make your icons shine.
- 2. Go Minimal for Widgets – Busy wallpapers can clash with widgets. Keep the chaos for your lock screen, not the home screen.
- 3. Save Power with Dark Mode – On OLED displays, darker wallpapers actually help with battery life.
- 4. Switch It Up – Trust me, changing your wallpaper every few weeks makes your phone feel brand new again.
So, in the conclusion, I’ll mention that wallpapers may seem like small details, but on a device like the iPhone Air or 17 Pro, they’re part of the full Apple experience. If you ask me, picking the right wallpaper is the simplest way to give your iPhone personality—without buying a case, a MagSafe accessory, or any add-on.
So go ahead, try a few, mix and match, and do let us know which wallpaper you have applied on your iPhone.
A new video has surfaced online showing the iPhone 17 Pro in multiple colors. These are not real working phones but dummy units which means they are empty inside but still give us a good idea of how the final product will look.
The iPhone 17 Pro is expected to be officially launched in September along with the rest of the iPhone 17 series. The launch date could be September 8 or possibly the 9th or 10th.
One of the biggest changes seen in the dummy models is on the back of the phone. The new design includes a large camera island that stretches almost across the entire width of the phone. This style is similar to Poco phones from around two years ago.
While the cameras remain in the same positions as before they are now part of a much larger design area giving the phone a new and bold look.
Fans will have to wait a bit longer to see the real thing but these dummy units give a good early look at what’s coming next from Apple.
Apple is expected to launch the iPhone 17 Pro and iPhone 17 Pro Max this September, and early leaks are already giving us a closer look at what’s coming.
Major Rear Design Change
According to new hands-on images of what appears to be an iPhone 17 Pro dummy unit, Apple is planning a big change on the back of the phone. The rear camera setup now features a large camera island that stretches across the entire width of the device — a style previously seen in older Poco smartphones. While the leaked model doesn’t have any internal components, it’s said to be accurate in terms of size and design.
Camera and Frame Updates
The three rear cameras look to be placed in the same positions as those on the iPhone 16 Pro, but they’re now enclosed in this much larger visor-like module.
Another expected change is in the phone’s frame material. Apple might ditch the titanium and stainless steel used in recent models in favor of aluminum, offering a lighter feel without compromising too much on durability.
Logo Gets a New Spot
One of the more surprising changes is the repositioned Apple logo on the back. Instead of its usual central placement, it now sits lower on the device, just between the bottom edge and the bottom of the new camera island. This design shift is already stirring mixed reactions online.
What’s Next?
As always, Apple hasn’t confirmed any of these details, but the dummy unit leak adds more weight to earlier rumors. With the official launch likely just a couple of months away, we can expect more accurate leaks and official news soon.
