"Apple's long-awaited iPhone 17 lineup has arrived, and as speculated, it replaces the Plus model with an iPhone 17 Air. However, the focus remains on the more expensive Pro series. The iPhone 17 Pro and Pro Max now offer better thermals to keep the device cool, an aluminum build for more funky colors, and a few other essential quality-of-life improvements."
"Apple says the iPhone 17 Pro is the most durable iPhone ever. It features Ceramic Shield 2 on the front, which is said to be three times scratch-resistant than before. Additionally, there's Ceramic Shield on the back, which is four times stronger than before. If your current iPhone is prone to scratches and bothersome to you, the iPhone 17 Pro would be the perfect new phone."
"I am an iPhone 16 Pro user, and my biggest problem with it is screen legibility in direct sunlight. I need to wipe the display whenever I want to use it outdoors. It gets smudgy and doesn't get bright enough for a comfortable viewing experience. Apple seems to have fixed this issue with the iPhone 17 Pro. As mentioned, the new Pro iPhone sports Ceramic Shield 2 on the front. It isn't just more resistant to scratches but also adds a 7-layer anti-reflective coating on top of your screen. This is paired with a display that is rated to go up to 3,000 nits in peak brightness outdoors (vs. 2,000 nits on the 16 Pro). Theoretically, it is a quality-of-life improvement, which should offer a more legible experience."
The iPhone 17 lineup replaces the Plus model with an iPhone 17 Air while prioritizing improvements in the Pro series. The iPhone 17 Pro and Pro Max add better thermals to manage heat and adopt an aluminum build allowing new color options. Durability increases with Ceramic Shield 2 on the front, claimed to be three times more scratch-resistant, and a strengthened Ceramic Shield on the back. The display gains a 7-layer anti-reflective coating and a peak outdoor brightness rating of 3,000 nits versus 2,000 nits previously. Performance and battery life receive incremental improvements alongside these quality-of-life updates.
