Apple announces $799 iPhone 17 with bigger 6.3-inch always-on ProMotion screen, A19 chip
"The camera system also gets a fairly substantial upgrade, though it's still short of what Apple ships in its Pro phones. The two-lens camera system includes a 12MP 2x telephoto sensor, as well as a 48MP wide-angle camera. The front-facing camera has also been given a new 18MP Center Stage sensor that's nearly twice as large as the old one, and it's square instead of rectangular, so Apple can offer the same framing options regardless of whether you're shooting in portrait or landscape mode."
"Helping to power that new screen is an updated Apple A19 chip. It still uses a 6-core CPU with two large cores and four smaller efficiency cores, a 16-core Neural Engine, and a 5-core GPU that Apple says is about 20 percent faster than the one in the Apple A18. The camera system also gets a fairly substantial upgrade, though it's still short of what Apple ships in its Pro phones."
"Apple says the new iPhone should also deliver better battery life, at least in some cases-up to eight additional hours of video playback compared to the iPhone 16. As predicted, Apple has discontinued the large-sized iPhone Plus, leaving the iPhone available in just one 6.3-inch size. Its body comes in five colors: lavender, blue, silver, black, and sage."
The new iPhone is powered by an updated Apple A19 chip with a 6-core CPU (two large and four efficiency cores), a 16-core Neural Engine, and a 5-core GPU about 20 percent faster than the A18. The camera system includes a 48MP wide-angle and a 12MP 2x telephoto lens, while the front-facing camera is an 18MP Center Stage sensor that is nearly twice as large and square for consistent portrait and landscape framing. Battery life can improve in some cases by up to eight additional hours of video playback versus the iPhone 16. The iPhone Plus has been discontinued; the phone is a single 6.3-inch model offered in five colors.
