Every iPhone 17 model gets upgrades — here’s the full breakdown and what’s new across every model

Apple's new iPhone 17 lineup will shake up the company's smartphone family with new models, better specs, and new designs. The series will include the regular iPhone 17, the futuristic iPhone 17 Air, and the powerful iPhone 17 Pro and Pro Max. It will come out later this year.

What makes the standard iPhone 17 different?

The standard iPhone 17 is another example of how Apple makes its basic models better without making big changes. It now has a 6.3-inch screen, which is the same size as last year's Pro, and the A19 chip, which makes it run faster. The front-facing TrueDepth camera has been updated for the first time in years. It now has 24 megapixels, which makes FaceTime calls and selfies look better, as per a report by 9to5mac.

The base iPhone 17 will now have ProMotion and always-on display technology, which used to only be available on Pro models. This is a big shift. Apple is also adding new colors to its products, like purple, green, blue, black, and white. The price will probably stay at $799, as per a report by 9to5mac.

What makes the iPhone 17 Air so important?

The iPhone 17 Air is Apple's answer to people who want a phone that looks good and has a lot of features. It replaces the Plus model. It has a new 6.6-inch display and a lighter frame, and it's the thinnest iPhone ever made at only 5.55mm thick.

It has a binned version of the A19 Pro chip with a few less GPU cores and 12GB of RAM, which makes it easy to multitask. The Air gives up some features, like having only one rear camera, but it still has the improved 24MP selfie camera and ProMotion display. It also has the C1 modem, which is Apple's own 5G solution, making it the first Apple phone to have it.

The colors that are expected are the same as those of Apple's Air products: Light Blue, Light Gold, Black, and Silver. The price is about $949, as per a report by 9to5mac.

What are the changes to the Pro models this year?

The iPhone 17 Pro and Pro Max still have the most features, but Apple is making some big changes. A new full-width camera bar holds all three rear cameras, each with a 48-megapixel resolution. The Telephoto lens has also been improved, doubling its resolution from last year, as per a report by 9to5mac.

The A19 Pro chip in both Pro models will be full-strength, with no compromises. They will also have 12GB of RAM and a display that is less likely to get scratched thanks to a better anti-reflective coating.

The Pro Max will have a bigger battery, which will make it last even longer. Along with Silver and Black, there will be new colors like Orange and Dark Blue. The Pro should cost $1,049 and the Pro Max should cost $1,249, as per a report by 9to5mac.

Apple's goal this year is to give every kind of user something, from the very thin and stylish Air to the performance-focused Pro Max. The iPhone 17 lineup combines style, power, and new ideas like never before.
