Aplpe’s iPhone 17 gets a redesigned look with a slightly larger 6.3-inch display and narrower edges. And after years of waiting (and a fair bit of grumbling), the base iPhone 17 finally has a a 120Hz refresh rate.

Under the hood, the new A19 chip is quicker and also more efficient, especially when teamed up with Apple Intelligence. If you are upgrading from an older iPhone, you will notice a significant bump in speed and improved gameplay thanks to ProMotion.
On the camera front, you'll find a 48MP Fusion main camera (shooting 24MP photos by default) as well as a 2x telephoto lens. The device’s ultra-wide camera also gets an upgrade to 48MP, making macro photography sharper and much more refined.
