The fact that this leaker has revealed accurate details about the iPhone 14 Pro and the iPhone 15 Pro suggests that he may have a reliable source within Apple’s development team.

Information about the release of iOS 17 for these models has not yet been officially confirmed by Apple; therefore, it’s important to treat it as a rumor and wait for more information and confirmation from other sources before drawing any definitive conclusions.
