The iPhone 17 has a redesigned look with a slightly larger 6.3-inch display and slimmer bezels. And after years of waiting (and a ton of grumbling), the base iPhone finally gets a 120Hz refresh rate.
Under the hood, Apple’s new A19 chip is more powerful as well as more efficient, particularly when teamed up with Apple Intelligence. If you're upgrading from an older iPhone, you will notice a massive bump in speed and smoother gaming thanks to ProMotion.
About the camera, you'll find a 48MP Fusion main camera (shooting 24MP photos by default) and a 2x telephoto lens. The device’s ultra-wide camera also receives an upgrade to 48MP, making macro photography sharper and much more detailed.
