"The iPhone 17 received a makeover to align more closely with the Pro models. It features a slightly larger 6.3-inch screen, which is an increase of 0.2 inches compared to the iPhone 16. It also has a 120 Hz display, a substantial upgrade from the current 60 Hz. The phone also has a 48-megapixel ultrawide camera. It comes in new colors: lavender, mist blue, black, white, and sage."
"The Pro's upgrades are mainly on the back of the phone. The three rear cameras are now arranged in a rectangular bar that extends from one edge of the device to the other. The flash, light sensor, and microphone are positioned far to the right side. Where the MagSafe charger is, the Apple logo is centered for aesthetic reasons. Notably, the iPhone 17 Pro switched materials, replacing the titanium band around the screen with aluminum."
"The iPhone 17 starts at $799 and has a base storage of 256GB. In contrast, the iPhone 16 started at $699 for 128GB. The Pro model costs $1,099, and the Pro Max is $1,199. While the event's primary focus was on the iPhones, Apple announced new phone cases as a bonus. Called "TechWoven" cases, these feature a higher quality woven material compared to the discontinued "FineWoven" line of fabric cases Apple released in 2023."
Apple introduced the iPhone 17 lineup with larger screens and camera upgrades across models, including a 6.3-inch display, 120 Hz refresh rate and a 48-megapixel ultrawide camera. New color options include lavender, mist blue, black, white and sage. The Pro models feature a redesigned rear camera bar and a material change from a titanium band to aluminum. Base storage doubled to 256GB for the iPhone 17, with starting prices at $799, $1,099 for Pro and $1,199 for Pro Max. Apple unveiled higher-quality "TechWoven" cases and did not mention an AI-enhanced Siri. Additional hardware — new iPad Pro, updated Vision Pro, AirTags, Apple TV, HomePod mini and MacBooks — is expected in 2025 or early 2026.
