"Apple's long-awaited iPhone 17 lineup is here, 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."
"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 centering major upgrades on the Pro series. The iPhone 17 Pro and Pro Max introduce improved thermals, an aluminum build enabling new color options, and other quality-of-life refinements. Durability is significantly enhanced with Ceramic Shield 2 on the front, offering roughly three times the scratch resistance, and reinforced Ceramic Shield on the back with roughly four times the strength. The Pro display gains a 7-layer anti-reflective coating and a peak outdoor brightness rating of up to 3,000 nits for improved legibility compared with the previous model.
