On Tuesday, Apple unveiled the latest series, with iPhone 17 Pro and iPhone 17 Pro Max being the top models. They have also launched the regular iPhone 17 and all-new iPhone Air. The iPhone 17 comes in five colours and features a larger 6.3-inch screen. The device brings the ProMotion display with a 120-hertz refresh rate to a non-Pro iPhone for the first time.
On the other hand, the iPhone 17 Pro returns to an aluminium build, with the biggest battery of any iPhone yet. "Introducing iPhone 17 Pro and iPhone 17 Pro Max, designed from the inside out to be the most powerful iPhone models ever made. At the core of the new design is a heat-forged aluminium unibody enclosure that maximises performance, battery capacity and durability," the company said.

The iPhone 17 Pro will start at $1,099, with the Pro Max version offering up to 2 terabytes of storage for the first time. The Pro Max starts at $1,199, both with 256GB of storage.
The notable change this year is a dramatic redesign of the rear camera module, which now stretches all the way across the body, rather than only containing the lenses. It is powered by the A19 Pro chip and uses a vapour chamber with de-ionised water, making it the first liquid-cooled iPhone to sustain performance under heavy workloads.
The Pro also adds a ceramic shield back and longer battery life. It also has an upgraded camera system with a 48-megapixel sensor on all three rear lenses and an AI-powered "Center Stage" front camera.

The device runs on the same A19 Pro processor as the iPhone 17 Pro, paired with Apple's N1 networking chip and C1X modem. The model supports only eSIM. It will be available in Space Black, Cloud White, Light Gold and Sky Blue colours.
