The iPhone 17 features a redesigned look with a slightly larger 6.3-inch display and slimmer bezels. And after a long wait (and a ton of grumbling), the base iPhone 17 finally has a a 120Hz refresh rate.
Internally, Apple’s new A19 chip is faster and more efficient, especially when paired with Apple Intelligence. If you're upgrading from an older iPhone, you'll experience a significant bump in speed and better gaming performance courtesy of ProMotion.
About the camera, you will find a 48MP Fusion main camera (shooting 24MP photos by default) and also a 2x telephoto lens. The device’s ultra-wide camera also features an upgrade to 48MP, making macro photography more detailed and also more impressive.
