"While the best feature of the iPhone 17 is its screen, the screens are virtually the only thing not to be overhauled for the iPhone 17 Pro, though they do get the more scratch-resistant, anti-reflective Ceramic Shield 2 coating. The new designs have a new aluminum unibody enclosure, with a glass cutout on the back to allow for wireless charging and a huge new camera bump that Apple calls the "camera plateau," stretching all the way across the back."
"All three of those lenses on the camera plateau are now 48MP Fusion Cameras. At the default zoom levels, these condense 48MP images into smaller photos, using "pixel binning" to improve quality. But at the higher zoom levels-and the telephoto lens can now go up to 8x-the phone can simply crop a native-resolution chunk out of the center of the image, delivering what Apple calls "optical-quality zoom.""
The iPhone 17 Pro and Pro Max start at $1,099 and $1,199 respectively, each with 256GB of storage. Preorders begin this Friday, and the phones will be available on September 19. The Pro models retain largely the same screens as the iPhone 17 but add a more scratch-resistant, anti-reflective Ceramic Shield 2 coating. The new design features an aluminum unibody enclosure with a rear glass cutout for wireless charging and a wide camera bump called the "camera plateau." All three rear lenses are 48MP Fusion Cameras that use pixel binning at default zooms and can crop native-resolution sections for optical-quality zoom up to 8x. The telephoto sensor is 56% larger than the previous telephoto sensor.
