Earlier today, Apple revealed the iPhone 17, 17 Pro, and 17 Pro Max. There are a lot of details to dig into, so let’s dive in.
iPhone 17
The new iPhone 17 is both colorful and a significant upgrade. There are a total of five colors – Lavender, Mist Blue, Black, White, and Sage – all of which look great.
As for the upgrades to the hardware, the most significant to my mind is that the iPhone 17 is finally getting ProMotion and a 6.3-inch Always-On display that can refresh adaptively between 1 and 120 Hz. The front screen is protected by Ceramic Shield 2, which Apple says is three times more scratch-resistant than before, has a peak brightness of 3000 nits, and includes an improved seven-layer anti-reflective coating. From the specs, it appears that this is the same screen found in the iPhone Air, only slightly smaller.
