Apple has announced the iPhone 17 Pro and iPhone 17 Pro Max, which mainly excel with their strikingly new design and powerful hardware upgrades. Both models have an A19 Pro chip, C1x modem for 5G and Apple’s own N1 WiFi and Bluetooth chip.
The design has been revised with a full aluminum housing and a wider camera island that is now just as wide as the smartphone itself. There are significant improvements in the camera area: the PRO models have three 48-megapixel cameras, including a new telephoto lens with 48 megapixels that can zoom in up to 8x without loss of quality. We list the most important innovations.
iPhone 17 Pro-Design
The iPhone 17 Pro and iPhone 17 Pro Max have a new design with an aluminum housing instead of titanium, which ensures a lighter device with a different appearance and is more environmentally friendly. The back is a combination of glass and aluminum, with the upper half of aluminum and the camera module that is integrated into this.
In addition, the camera island undergoes a major change: it becomes horizontal and covers the entire width of the back, which ensures tighter design and slightly better stability. The Apple logo is placed slightly lower, so that it falls in the middle of the Magsafe ring. This renewed combination of materials, shape and functionality gives the iPhone 17 Pro series a fresh update without losing the classic Apple design.
Scratch -resistant display with 120Hz
The iPhone Pro models have and retain an LTPO OLED display with Promotion, which means the iPhone has a refresh speed from 1Hz to 120Hz and is an always-on-screen.
Apple has made special equipment that adds a strong anti-reflection layer to the iPhone screen, which is also more resistant to scratches. In combination with the Ceramic Shield 2, the Pro display is stronger, scratch -resistant and less reflective.
Renewed camera system
All four iPhone 17 models have received an improved 18-megapixel Facetime camera, which ensures better image quality and more opportunities to zoom in at Selfies. This way you can even take lying photos when you keep your iPhone upright thanks to the new sensor. The previous generation Selfie camera had a resolution of 12 megapixels.
The 48-megapixel Tetraprisma Televelens Of the iPhone 17 Pro is a major improvement compared to earlier models. This lens uses a new optical design with mirrors, which a longer focal length and up to 8x optically zoom in Without losses possible, while the lens remains compact. Thanks to the 48 megapixels, zoomed photos are sharper, especially with portraits and little light.
The standard iPhone 17 Pro (Max) retains the same 48-megapixel wide angle and ultra-wide angle camera as the previous generation.
A19 Pro processor
The iPhone 17 Pro (Max) is equipped with a super fast A19 Pro Bionic 3-Nanometer processor with a 16-Core Neural Engine. The chip makes it possible to perform less complex tasks energy-efficiently. This new A19 Pro chip offers improvements in speed and energy efficiency compared to the previous A18 Pro chip, but no radical differences have been mentioned.
Vapor room for cooling
The iPhone 17 Pro models are equipped with a special vapor room. This is an advanced cooling system where a closed room with liquid is placed above the chip. The liquid evaporates through heat, spreads the heat as a vapor, condenses into liquid again and returns to the heat source, which ensures efficient heat dissipation without fans. The advantage is that, for example, the maximum screen brightness can be displayed longer without the screen diming to save energy.
Own 5G modem and WiFi 7
The iPhone 17 Pro (Max) contains the Apple C1X, the successor of the C1 modem designed by Apple for mobile data. This is also the most energy -efficient modem so far in an iPhone, and ensures a 2x fast, reliable 5G connection.
All iPhone 17 models are equipped with Apple’s first self-designed WiFi and Bluetooth chip that supports WiFi 7. This chip improves efficiency and connectivity. In addition, these chips have another advantage: more energy efficient. For example, the Apple Silicon with C1, the brand new internal design, better processor and the energy -efficient iOS 26 all contribute to the highly improved battery life.
