Comparison with Previous Generation

• Screen size increased from 6.1" to 6.3" and bezels are thinner.

Camera system is a marked leap from a 12MP to a 48MP ultra wide, and the selfie camera sensor is both higher-res and physically much larger.

Base storage has doubled (from 128GB to 256GB) at the same launch price.

Charging and battery are significantly improved, offering longer usage and much faster top-ups.

Notable Innovations

• The ProMotion display and brighter, anti-reflective screen enhance usability outdoors and for gaming.

Apple Intelligence features, integrated deeply thanks to the A19 chip, include real-time translation and generative AI services for photos and text.

All models receive the new Center Stage front camera, which uses a wide field of view and better sensor to follow subjects—even in video calls.

Physical SIM support is dropping in more regions as Apple moves further to eSIM, particularly in the Air model.

The iPhone 17 is a major leap in camera technology, performance, display, and storage, while retaining the price point of the previous generation—a rare move for Apple.
