At the heart of the lineup are Apple’s new A19 and A19 Pro chips, delivering faster performance, better energy efficiency, and smoother gameplay. These chips also power Apple Intelligence, Apple’s new on-device AI system designed to assist with writing, photo editing, translations, and everyday tasks—while keeping privacy in focus.
Display and Design Upgrades
All iPhone 17 models now feature brighter Super Retina XDR displays, and ProMotion (120Hz refresh rate) is finally available across the entire lineup. The standard iPhone 17 and iPhone 17 Pro now sport a larger 6.3-inch display, making media consumption and gaming more immersive. Durability also improves with Ceramic Shield 2, offering better scratch resistance.
Massive Camera Improvements
Every rear camera in the iPhone 17 lineup is now 48MP, a first for Apple. The front camera jumps to 18MP and gains Center Stage, keeping users perfectly framed during video calls and group selfies. Pro models push video further with ProRes RAW, 4K at 120fps in Dolby Vision, and enhanced stabilization. The iPhone 17 Pro Max stands out with a record-breaking 8x optical zoom.
Smarter iOS 26 Experience
iOS 26 introduces a refreshed “Liquid Glass” design, along with features like Live Translation, Genmoji, Call Screening, Messages via Satellite, and new Games and Passwords apps.
