iPhone 17 announced: because of this function you want it immediately

The time has come, Apple has officially announced the iPhone 17. The new model has received a number of improvements that make him look even more like a pro model. You need to know this.

iPhone 17 is finally official

After months full of rumors, Apple presented its new flagship with a lot of bombing. This makes the iPhone 17 now officially Apple’s newest phone. Unlike in recent years, there is no larger plus variant of the iPhone 17 this year. The iPhone 17 Plus makes way for the iPhone 17 Air. iPhoned Do you talk about everything that is new about the iPhone 16. Want to know more about the other iPhones that are presented?

iPhone 17: Colors and storage

At first glance, the iPhone 17 looks the same as its predecessor. The five fresh colors are new. Apple opts for variants in black, lavender, mist -blue, saliegroen and white. Compared to the predecessors, the storage has doubled to 256 GB, with an extension to 512 GB. The 1-TB option remains exclusive for the PRO models.

The screen has become slightly larger this year: 6.3 inches instead of 6.1 inches. This makes the iPhone 17 just a bit more spacious, without the device logging. Charging is still possible via USB-C and Magsafe is supported.

For the first time Promotion and Always-on

The big news is that the iPhone 17 has a promotion display for the first time. That means that the refresh rate rises to 120 Hz, making scrolling and animations smoother than ever. For reading or static content, the screen can switch back to 1 Hz, so that the battery lasts longer.

Thanks to this technique, the iPhone 17 also gets an always-on display. This keeps the time or your widgets visible, even when the device is in standby. In combination with the standby mode of iOS, your iPhone turns into a smart clock or photo frame.

Are you all familiar? Right-this is the same screen that we already know from the iPhone 16 Pro series. That also means that the edges around are somewhat slimmer, and the Dynamic Island seems a bit more compact.

Stronger screen with Ceramic Shield 2

To make the screen even more resistant to scratches, Apple has improved its Ceramic Shield technique. Ceramic Shield 2 is three times less sensitive to scratches, and reflects less light. That makes it easier to read it in full sun.

Speaking of this, due to the peak clearance of 3000 Nits, this iPhone screen is brighter than ever (the iPhone 16 had 2000 Nits) and has a contrast twice as large.

A19 chip with Apple Intelligence

Under the hood you will find the brand new A19 chip. This processor is faster and more efficient, and again mainly optimized for Apple Intelligence. There is a 6-core CPU in it, as well as a 5-core graphic chip. The 16-core Neural Engine has been expanded, which means that AI functions-Machine Learning and Language Models from Apple Intelligence-are noticeably floater.

The iPhone 17 also has N1 chip, a new, Apple-designed modem for wireless networks that is suitable for WiFi 7, Bluetooth 6 and Thread. In addition, N1 improves overall performance and reliability of features such as personal hotspot and AirDrop.

Improved cameras

48-MP Fusion camera

The iPhone 17 now has two cameras with 48 megapixels. With the predecessor, only the main camera had that larger sensor, but now the ultrag wood angle is also equipped with 48 megapixels. This ensures that you can capture more details with the ultra -wide angle lens. A cut-out is used for macro photos and you reach 12 megapixels.

18-MP front camera

Apple finally tackled the front camera this year thoroughly. It now gets a resolution of 18 megapixels – almost a doubling compared to earlier models. Selfies and Facetime interviews are therefore sharper and more detailed, even in low light. The sensor is now square, making it possible to make a kind of wide-angle photo with the front camera. Also you no longer always have to include in portrait position – just choose landscape relationship and you take a ‘classic’ 4: 3 photo. Finally, the new Sensor Center Stage (center) makes it possible.

Dual capture

Extra fun for influencers: you can now record videos at the same time with the camera on the front and back at the same time.

Charging faster

The iPhone 17 now loads to 50 percent in 20 minutes, provided you have USB-C adapter with high wattage. Of course you also get it from Apple itself, the dynamic mains adapter of 40 W with a peak of 60 W.

Operating system: iOS 26

The iPhone 17 runs on iOS 26, the latest version of Apple’s operating system. This gives you access to improved Apple Intelligence functions (soon even in Dutch!), The new Liquid Glass design and new apps such as preview and games.

Prices of the iPhone 17

At first glance it seems that the prices of the iPhone 17 have remained the same. After all, it still starts with 969 euros. But, the storage now starts at 256 GB, so in fact this device has become a little cheaper, because you get more for the same price. These are the suggested retail prices of the iPhone 17:

• iPhone 17 (256 GB): € 969
• iPhone 17 (512 GB): € 1219
