What’s New in the iPhone 17?

This model rocks a ProMotion display, now featuring the always-on display feature from the earlier Pro and Pro Max generations, plus it gets a slight boost in size to 6.3 inches.

Photographers will love the new camera system that includes a 48-megapixel ultra-wide camera and a 12-megapixel macro option. The front camera showcases a square sensor for versatile selfie aspects.

With its Ceramic Shield 2, this phone offers enhanced durability against scratches. Apple promises “all-day battery life,” though specific details on battery runtime were not shared.

Introducing iPhone 17 Air

The brand new addition is the iPhone 17 Air.

This super-slim device is not just a replacement for the Plus model; instead, Apple is experimenting with fresh design elements.

Weighing in at just 165 grams and measuring only 5.6mm thick—nearly a third slimmer than the iPhone 16 Pro—it sports a 6.6-inch ProMotion display tucked inside a lightweight titanium-aluminum chassis secured by Ceramic Shield 2.

Another impressive feature revealed is the “plateau” design housing both the front and rear cameras along with the Apple Silicon.

With an A19 Pro chip and Apple C1X modem combined with 12 GB of RAM, this model also boasts all-day battery capabilities.

iPhone 17 Pro and Pro Max Highlights

The Pro and Pro Max version gets a whole new upgraded camera bar extending across the width of the device. The main 48-megapixel camera combines both a telephoto lens and remarkable 1x, 2x, 4x, and 8x optical zoom options, along with 8K video recording.

Equipped with Apple’s custom Wi-Fi 7 chip, these premium models deliver super-fast internet connectivity.

Users can enjoy brighter displays with impressive support for up to 39 hours of continuous video playback.
