iPhone 17 vs iPhone 17 Pro: How big will the gap be this year for new iPhones?
Apple has spent the past few years giving its iPhone Pro models that extra little push with features not available on the standard iPhone. But that wasn't the case with the iPhone 16, which added enough new capabilities to dash nearly any FOMO you may have felt by not paying up for the iPhone 16 Pro. Will that trend continue this year with an iPhone 17 vs. iPhone 17 Pro comparison? Initial rumors about Apple's iPhone 17 plans paint a mixed picture. While the standard iPhone is set to gain a long-awaited display improvement that will match what the Pro models have delivered for years, the iPhone 17 Pro is set to see the more significant changes, chiefly to its design and cameras. And Apple could be planning a processor surprise, too, that may affect how you weigh the iPhone 17 and iPhone 17 Pro. We're a few months away from the iPhone 17 release, since Apple typically rolls out new phones in September. But enough rumors about all the new models in the works have emerged to give us a good sense of how the iPhone 17 and iPhone 17 Pro might compare. Here's how a potential iPhone 17 vs. iPhone 17 Pro face-off is shaping up, with a special focus on the biggest differences as well as key similarities. Save for the number of camera lenses on the back of each model and the screen size, every iPhone in Apple's lineup tends to look the same. That may be changing with the iPhone 17. Based on leaked renders and CAD drawings, the iPhone 17 will look a lot like past models, though it may have a more prominent camera array than the current iPhone 16. The two rear cameras will still be stacked vertically, though. Apple seems to be taking a different approach with the iPhone 17 Pro, stretching the camera array horizontally across the back of the phone. The three rear cameras will continue to be arranged in a triangular array on the right side of the phone, but other sensors and the flash will be moved to the left. Currently, Pro models come with a titanium frame, and there's some talk of Apple dropping that feature with the iPhone 17 Pro. I'm not sure I totally believe that at this point, given how prominently titanium figures into the branding of Apple's Pro phones. The standard iPhone features a main camera and an ultrawide lens on the back, while the Pro handsets add a telephoto lens to that setup. That isn't changing with the iPhone 17 lineup, though it sounds like the iPhone 17 Pro is in line to get a much bigger improvement to its camera setup. Along with the 48MP Fusion Camera that serves as the main shooter and a 48MP ultrawide camera, rumors tip the iPhone 17 Pro to adopt a 48MP telephoto lens. That's a higher resolution than the 12MP zoom lens on the iPhone 16 Pro, though the trade-off for that higher resolution may be a shorter zoom. The iPhone 17 Pro telephoto camera will reportedly only offer a 3.5x optical zoom compared to 5x on the current model, which doesn't make sense. Meanwhile, the iPhone 17 will still have to rely on its 48MP main camera to approximate a 2x optical zoom, as there's no zoom lens slated for that phone. In fact, it's widely assumed the rear camera setup on the iPhone 17 will be the same as what the iPhone 16 offers. The iPhone 17 Pro is also expected to pick up a new feature not available on the standard iPhone 17. A rumor claims Pro phones will support dual-video capture, allowing you to record video from both the front and back cameras simultaneously. One other camera change could impact both the iPhone 17 and iPhone 17 Pro. All new iPhones are in line to get a 24MP selfie camera, replacing the current 12MP shooter. You'd expect Apple to maintain a minor difference between the standard iPhone and the Pro model this fall by giving those phones slightly different chipsets. If Apple sticks to its pattern from the past couple iPhone releases, the iPhone 17 would get an A19 system-on-chip while the iPhone 17 Pro would benefit from an A19 Pro that offers a little more processing power particularly when it comes to graphics. The differences could be even more stark with the iPhone 17, though. One analyst believes the standard iPhone 17 will continue to use an A18 processor, repeating what Apple did with the iPhone 14. If that's the case, the performance difference between an A18-powered iPhone 17 and an iPhone 17 Pro with an A19 Pro chip could be rather stark. Like the iPhone 16, the iPhone 17 is expected to feature 8GB of RAM to help with all that on-device computing that Apple Intelligence features require. But the iPhone 17 Pro could get a boost in that area. Specifically, multiple analysts are forecasting that the Pro models will get a bump to 12GB of memory, as Apple looks to give the iPhone 17 Pro a performance edge. iPhone 17 pricing is up in the air, given the ever-fluctuating policies about tariffs coming out of Washington. Even before tariffs threatened to raise the cost on devices manufactured in China like iPhones. However, there has been talk of some iPhome 17 models costing more than their predecessors. Regardless of how iPhone pricing shakes out in the fall, it's a safe bet that the iPhone 17 will cost less than the iPhone 17 Pro. Currently, the iPhone 16 starts at $799 while the iPhone 16 Pro has a $999 asking price. That gap in pricing is a pretty good guide, though there is a chance it might widen if the Pro model sees a price hike and the standard phone doesn't. After years of keeping its standard iPhones with refresh rates locked at 60Hz, Apple sounds like it's finally going to deliver a feature that's pretty standard on flagship phones these days — a fast-refreshing display. Multiple reports have the iPhone 17 adopting an LTPO panel for its display, a switch that would enable the phone to offer refresh speeds of up to i20Hz. That means smoother scrolling and more immersive graphics, and it would match a feature the iPhone Pro models have offered since the iPhone 13 Pro. The iPhone 17's fast-refreshing display may not be completely on par with what the iPhone 17 Pro offers, as some reports suggest the refresh rate on the standard model may not be able to scale all the way down to 1Hz. Still, this is one area where the gap between the regular iPhone and the Pro model may close considerably. The iPhone 17 and iPhone 17 Pro displays may have something else in common. Some are expecting Apple to increase the panel on the iPhone 17 to 6.3 inches, matching a boost in screen size introduced with the iPhone 16 Pro last year. However, one new difference in displays could emerge. The iPhone 17 Pro may shrink the size of the Dynamic Island feature, freeing up more screen real estate. It's unclear if that change is coming to the regular iPhone 17. Then again, a more recent report claims all models will shrink the Dynamic Island. The iPhone 17 Pro models are thought to be adopting a vapor cooling chamber as a replacement for the standard heatsinks found in current iPhones. The ideal is that the new chamber would keep the iPhone running smoothly while preventing overheating during processor-intensive tasks — a problem that's flared up with some recent releases. Opinion is divided among rumor mongers as to whether this feature is exclusive to the Pro phones or whether all iPhone 17 models will benefit from the switch. We'll list this feature here for now, though it could shift over to the differences column as we get more information ahead of the iPhone 17 launch. All iPhone 17 models debuting in the fall will ship with the same software on board. And now that Apple has held its WWDC 2025 conference, we have a pretty good idea as to what that software will deliver. iOS 26 largely focuses on introducing a new Liquid Glass interface to Apple's phones, unifying the look of Apple's software across its phones, Macs and other devices. But there are Apple Intelligence updates included with iOS 26, too, such as a more capable Visual Intelligence feature and new additions to Genmoji and Image Playground. While Apple could always surprise us at the iPhone 17 launch with some Pro-specific software capabilities, the same iOS 26 features should work equally well on the iPhone 17 as they do on the Pro. Make no mistake — the iPhone 17 Pro is going to continue to offer more premium features than the iPhone 17, even if the fast-refreshing display coming to Apple's entry-level flagship ticks off a big box that had been separating the two phones. The Pro still figures to have the better camera setup, with more video capture features at your disposal. And if the rumored differences in chipsets pan out, there could be a notable performance gap between the two models as well.

Companies Step Up Reskilling in the Era of AI
AI is not just reshaping industries; it's redefining the future of work. So, it's critical for companies to reskill and upskill their talent to remain relevant and co-exist with AI You're reading Entrepreneur India, an international franchise of Entrepreneur Media. As artificial intelligence (AI) continues to transform industries, companies face a critical challenge: How to prepare their workforce for a future that looks vastly different from the past. To stay relevant, companies are taking on various measures to reskill and upskill their employees to mitigate the risk of turning them redundant. The World Economic Forum estimates that automation will displace 85 million jobs by 2025, and 40 per cent of core skills will change for workers. AI will usher in a new era of productivity and value, and business leaders in the C-suite should make employees part of that future. At IT services company Persistent Systems, continuous learning and development of its people has always been a strategic priority to ensure they remain relevant and future-ready. "Our talent strategy is rooted in a robust learning ecosystem, led by Persistent University and our Digital Engineering Academy. Our Digital Engineering Academy offers AI-personalized learning paths mapped to over 6,500 skills, enabling employees to gain both breadth and depth in emerging technologies," says Dhanashree Bhat, Chief Operating Officer, Persistent Systems. "Over 18,000 employees have completed internal foundational training in GenAI, and our teams have earned close to 4,000 external certifications. Beyond this, we are scaling access to deeper specializations in AI, ML, and GenAI through a mix of internal modules and industry-recognized certifications. We have over 22,000 partner certifications across a range of technologies, including AI, which are critical to driving customer transformation," says Bhat. Fidelity Investments' global capability center (GCC) in India has been a key part of the company's global operations for over two decades. With a talent base of over 7,000 associates in India, it plays a pivotal role in driving innovation and delivering business-critical solutions. "At Fidelity Investments India, we recognise that in today's fast-changing landscape, embracing the cutting edge of technology is key to making a difference. We look to develop solutions and experiences to meet the dynamic business requirements," says Srinivas Gururaja Rau, Head of Fidelity Fund and Investment Operations Technology India, Fidelity Investments. "We have embedded this culture of constant upskilling and reskilling across all levels of the organization. Whether it's through structured programs like LEAP, an upskilling cohort for early-career technologists, role-based learning journeys, internal technology communities, niche hackathon events, our innovation and patent programs, or regular hands-on certification and training programs, we provide a host of opportunities for our technologists to learn and work on the latest emerging technologies in financial services, to innovate for the future," says Rau. ACQUISITIONS AND PARTNERSHIPS Several companies are also acquiring niche startups and leveraging partnerships to enable their reskilling initiatives. For instance, IT major Accenture recently acquired edtech firm TalentSprint from NSE Academy Ltd. The acquisition is expected to bolster Accenture LearnVantage's ability to drive growth through key university certifications and high impact bootcamps, creating trained talent pools for enterprises and governments. As part of the acquisition, TalentSprint's team of approximately 210 professionals will join Accenture LearnVantage. "TalentSprint's end-to-end delivery capabilities of focused learning programs provide a competitive value proposition for learners and enterprises alike, making it a great fit for our expanding LearnVantage business," said Kishore Durg, global lead of Accenture LearnVantage. "The addition of TalentSprint further boosts our ability to meet our clients' demand for training, helping their people gain the essential technology skills in emerging areas needed to reinvent their organizations and achieve greater business value." Saurabh Kumar Sahu, who leads Accenture's India business, added, "India is witnessing a growing need for specialized technology skills at scale as enterprises accelerate their digital transformation efforts and Global Capability Centers evolve into R&D, innovation, and engineering hubs. We see significant opportunities to partner with these organisations to build a pool of readily deployable talent skilled in emerging technologies." The acquisition of TalentSprint complements Accenture's recent investments in Udacity and Award Solutions, and aligns with the company's USD 1 billion investment in LearnVantage over three years, announced in early 2024. "Since inception, our mission has been to equip learners with deep expertise for a disrupted world," said Anurag Bansal, Managing Director and CEO of TalentSprint. "Joining forces with Accenture LearnVantage allows us to scale our impact, delivering cutting-edge technology and next-gen management programs that are valued and trusted by students, professionals, organizations, and governments alike." French IT major Capgemini recently collaborated with the Nasscom Foundation to skill and certify more than 700 disadvantaged youths through their AI for Skilling program. As India moves swiftly towards an AI-driven future, the demand for a workforce proficient in AI competencies continues to grow. Capgemini and the Nasscom Foundation partnership plays a key role in helping to meet this demand by equipping the youth with advanced skills in generative AI, robotics, fintech, and more. Implemented currently in Delhi NCR and Bengaluru, the program is designed to provide a comprehensive 200-hour training, comprising over 140 hours of technical training and more than 60 hours of soft skills development. The initiative builds on Capgemini Digital Academy program, which trains thousands of youths across India in high-demand digital skills, creating opportunities for careers in technology. "AI is shaping a bold new era of work—one where innovation, inclusion, and human potential thrive together. Through Capgemini's Digital Academy, in partnership with Nasscom Foundation, we are bridging the digital divide - equipping the youth with industry-relevant AI and technology skills for meaningful careers. This initiative is also fuelled by the passion of our employee volunteers, who mentor and guide learners, reinforcing our commitment to inclusive growth," says Ashwin Yardi, CEO, Capgemini India. Commenting on the success of the initiative, Jyoti Sharma, CEO, Nasscom Foundation said, "AI is not just reshaping industries, it's redefining the future of work. Our collaboration with Capgemini, under the AI for Skilling initiative, reflects our shared vision of an inclusive digital economy, where marginalized youth have the opportunity to participate and break barriers to AI access. By enabling future-ready skills and focusing on foundational, core-work skills, we are investing in the potential of India's youth to fully embrace evolving digital opportunities." To ensure holistic development, the initiative extended beyond technical training and included expert sessions conducted by industry professionals, as well as aptitude-building modules, and awareness programs. Real-world exposure was also facilitated through corporate volunteer engagement and industry visits, helping learners gain insights into workplace expectations and the professional culture of the technology sector. CO-EXISTENCE OF HUMANS AND AI Persistent Systems is of the view that collaboration between human expertise and AI is a "force multiplier". As GenAI becomes integral to business workflows, it's driving faster decisions, greater scale, and more dynamic operations. In fact, according to McKinsey, 71 per cent of business leaders now report using GenAI in at least one function, up from 65 per cent in early 2024. "We follow a human-in-the-loop approach, where employees are involved in training models, prompt engineering, and validating outputs, ensuring AI remains contextually relevant, ethical, unbiased, and aligned with business goals. Our focus is on outcome-based learning. From customer interview coaching to internal mobility programs, we help employees apply AI-first thinking to solve real problems, bridging skill development with delivery impact," says Bhat. He says that across industries, roles are being redefined. Developers are moving beyond manual coding toward solution design, while business teams are using AI to personalize experiences and accelerate decisions. This shift empowers talent to focus on higher-value, creative, and strategic work. Ultimately, AI is elevating human potential, and that synergy is shaping more agile, future-ready workforces capable of delivering stronger outcomes in a dynamic, technology-first world.

Grant Cardone Says You Don't Have To Be The Boss To Get Rich: 'You Gotta Find Somebody That Is Successful And Still Wants To Be Successful'
Do you have to start your own business to be successful? Although some business owners become very successful, others end up shutting their doors after a few years. That's why Grant Cardone proposed another way to become rich. "You gotta find somebody that is successful and still wants to be successful," he said. Here's how you can use this advice to build long-term wealth. Don't Miss: Maker of the $60,000 foldable home has 3 factory buildings, 600+ houses built, and big plans to solve housing — Peter Thiel turned $1,700 into $5 billion—now accredited investors are eyeing this software company with similar breakout potential. Learn how you can Cardone mentioned that you don't need 50 investments to become a billionaire. He said that Steve Jobs only had two investments. Pixar and NeXT were his two major investments before leaving Apple, and once he rejoined Apple (NASDAQ:AAPL), that's where he got most of his wealth. While diversifying your portfolio has benefits, there is the risk of over-diversification. Spreading your time and capital across too many investments can cause you to miss opportunities. Furthermore, you may spread your time too thin and end up with a bunch of slow-growing or declining income streams. Picking a few good investments instead of having 50 investments can accelerate wealth building if you pick the right investments. It's not a strategy for everyone, but if you know the person behind the company and the growth opportunities, it may be worth considering. Trending: Maximize saving for your retirement and cut down on taxes: . The leader plays a decisive role in the company's ability to tap into catalysts and provide long-term returns for patient investors. If you want to see what type of an impact a leader can have on a corporation's valuation, look no further than Tesla (NASDAQ:TSLA). People have been saying that it's overvalued for years. If Elon Musk wasn't leading Tesla, the stock would probably be a lot cheaper. Recently, Tesla stock jumped higher the moment Musk said he would move away from the White House's Department of Government Efficiency to focus fully on Tesla. These trends demonstrate how much value Tesla investors put into Musk's involvement with the company. Cardone suggested looking for leaders who still want to grow. He also recommended avoiding leaders who are complacent or are on the downswing of their mentioned having a friend who would have made him billions if Cardone dropped everything to work with him at an early stage of his startup. You don't have to drop everything and put all of your hopes into a single startup, but it demonstrates how much you can grow if you work with the right person when they are getting started with a new venture. Cardone then mentioned that Warren Buffett didn't start any businesses despite being worth billions. Berkshire Hathaway (NYSE:BRK, NYSE:BRK) has relied on strategic acquisitions and investments to generate compounding returns for patient investors. Buffett started one business – Buffett Partnership Ltd. – in 1956. However, he only put $100 of his money into it and received $105,000 from investors. Right from the beginning, Buffett used strategic leverage and acquisition to grow his empire. You don't always have to start a business and be the boss if you're surrounded by the right people and opportunities. Read Next: Image: Shutterstock UNLOCKED: 5 NEW TRADES EVERY WEEK.
