Aplpe’s iPhone 17 features a fresh design with a slightly larger 6.3-inch display and narrower edges. And after a long wait (and a fair bit of grumbling), the base iPhone finally has a a 120Hz refresh rate.
Internally, the new A19 chip is faster and also more energy-efficient, especially when combined with Apple Intelligence. If you are upgrading from an older iPhone, you'll see a massive bump in speed and smoother gaming courtesy of ProMotion.
Camera wise, you'll find a 48MP Fusion main camera (shooting 24MP photos by default) and also a 2x telephoto lens. The device’s ultra-wide camera also gets an upgrade to 48MP, making macro photography more detailed and much more detailed.
