Apple’s great iPhone 17 launch event is over, and now the dust has settled in a large amount of ads, it is time for us to recap all the great prominent aspects.
As the ‘astonishment’ name of the event suggested, there were many news. We obtained four new iPhones, including the long -standing iPhone Air, plus three new models for Apple Watch fans, including Apple Watch Ultra 3 badge.
With the Airpods Pro 3 also shown in the Big Shindig of Apple, there is much to catch up, fortunately, we have done all hard work and gather all the most prominent aspects in a place below …
1. The iPhone became thinner
After months of rumors, the iPhone air is here, replacing the iPhone 16 Plus with a new thin and light design.
And oh, how thin it is: only 5.6 mm, which makes it the thinnest iPhone of all time.
Nor has Apple had to make great commitments to lose weight at that size; The iPhone Air contains the same A19 Pro chipset as the iPhone 17 Pro, a 6.5 -inch promotion screen, a single 48mp rear camera and a new 18MP main camera with the center of the stage.
As for the battery life, Apple only says that it lasts “all day”, but we are eager to prove that claim for ourselves.
How much will you pay for this factor in a slender manner? The iPhone air starts at $ 999 / £ 999 / A $ 1,799 for the base model, which has 256 GB of storage, but can update 512GB or 1 TB if you have deeper pockets.
As with the other iPhone 17 models, it will be available to preorder on September 12 and to buy at stores on September 19, and you can check the best order offers for iPhone 17 with us already.
2. And the iPhone 17 Pro and Pro Max were also level
Apple is very proud of its professional level iPhones this year, with the iPhone 17 Pro and the iPhone 17 Pro Max, bringing apparently significant updates to the table in almost all departments.
The most obvious change is the design of the new phones. Both the iPhone 17 Pro and the iPhone 17 Pro Max have a large camera block that runs horizontally through their respective rear panels, which Apple is calling a “full -wide camera plateau”.
This rejigated module is important for two reasons: first, Apple is allowed to introduce a 48mp teleobjective camera, and second, space is released for “the largest battery on an iPhone.”
Other updates for this year’s pro models include a steam chamber cooling system and an A19 PRO chipset, which will help iPhone 17 Pro and iPhone 17 pro max to fulfill its turnover as the best iPhones that Apple has made.
As for prices, it is looking for $ 1,099 / £ 1,099 / au $ 1,999 for the PRO, and $ 1,199 / £ 1,199 / au $ 2,149 for the Pro Max, so it does not change the previous models, although there is now a 2 TB version of the Pro Max, which will cost $ 1,999 / £ 1,999 / au the most expensive iPhone of The story.
2. While the standard iPhone 17 became more powerful
Mix things a bit this year, the new standard Apple iPhone, the iPhone 17, has a set of updates that could make it an adequate generational step of its predecessor.
Naturally, you get a more powerful A19 -shaped chip, but that chip helps obtain eight hours of battery video playback.
And the battery life does not seem to suffer the final inclusion of a 120 Hz promotion screen, either, with a Ceramic Shield 2 glass coating to keep the high update screen update the update rate away from scratch damage.
The new 48 megapixel ‘fusion’ camera system allows two rear cameras to provide a main optical teleobjective, 2x, optical, 48mp ultra-water and 1x macro photography. If this system produces impressive photos, it could be the one that exceeds this year and next.
As the icing on the smartphone cake, Apple has not increased the price of the standard iPhone, with it from $ 799 / £ 799 / au $ 1,299; A minor blessing in front of turbulent rates.
4. Center Stage has reached the front camera of the iPhone 17
Selfie cameras may not be the most glamorous telephone function, but Apple was great with them this year, giving all its new iPhones front cameras with new square and practical sensors tricks in the center of the stage.
Center Stage works very similar to its Mac equivalent, automatically keeping it in the middle of the frame during video calls and moving away if you are doing a group selfie. That square sensor also means that you will not have to turn your iPhone on your side to take a landscape selfie, since you can change to the best appearance ratio.
Naturally, there will be some crops involved, but Apple reached the resolution of the front camera at 18MP to help compensate. It is a small but useful update of the quality of life for selfies fans.
5. But there is still no sign of the legendary iPhone fold
Other technological companies like to make fun of the next devices before they are ready for full presentation, and in fact, Apple initially showed their vision for about six full months before its launch. But unfortunately, there was no clue to the so rumor of iPhone fold and today’s Apple event.
Is it real? When will it arrive? How much will it cost? We have no more idea now than 10 minutes before the event ‘Awe Delwping’.
Except … those new iphone air resemble the type of thin phones that I would need to do if it was going to launch a thin folding in the near future … so look at this space.
6. Airpods pro 3 seems an adequate update
Our 5 things you need to know about the new Airpods Pro 3 function of Apple is the place to get the complete scoop, but in a few words: Airpods Pro 3 is here, bringing live translation and Heard rate monitoring to Apple’s ice shoots.
These outbreaks are now smaller than before and have five hearing tip options ‘infused with foam’. The price has changed a little, depending on the territory. In the United States, they are launching the same $ 249. In the United Kingdom, they are actually cheaper, launching £ 219 (below £ 249), while in Australia they are actually becoming more expensive, above au $ 399 to au $ 429.
There are also demanded improvements in the battery life, ANC and waterproofing, which is now listed as IP57.
Any disappointment? The temperature sensation was not mentioned and there are no IR cameras, but still, that live translation feature is seen very Interesting in fact …

7. Apple Watch Ultra 3 has a larger screen
Yes, the Apple Watch Ultra 3 looks the same as first sight as Ultra 2, but a new OLED screen of great angle means a larger screen and thinner bevels without changing the size of the box, which makes it the largest Apple Watch screen so far.
Like the 11 series (below), it offers 5G cell connectivity, and Ultra’s new is satellite emergency messaging characteristics. Ultra 3 also obtains an increase in battery life, this time from 36 to 42 hours of battery in smartwatch mode.
It also obtains all the new metrics, including hypertension, sleep score and the new Watchos 26’s training partner.
However, it will not be cheap: prices begin at $ 799 / £ 749 / au $ 1,399. Even so, we have a Precorders Ultra 3 Apple Watch page to help you find the best offers.
8. Apple Watch Series 11 has left 5g
Meanwhile, Apple Watch’s 11 series was treated with some new historical features.
The 11 series obtains 5G connectivity for LTE models, made possible by a new antenna architecture and a scratch -resistant ceramic screen coating. In addition, the long -term LED blood pressure monitoring function has landed, in the form of hypertension, and sleep monitoring is improved with the new sleep score.
Finally, the prominent characteristic: 24 hours of battery means an update, finally, of the old and miserable 18 hours.
Prices start at $ 399 / £ 369 for the 42 mm GPS model, which increases up to $ 529 / £ 499 for 46 mm cell size. We have a Plee Watch 11 Preaders page if you are looking for a good offer in the new Apple models.
9. And there is also an Apple Watch Se 3
The new cheap Apple Watch completes the range, with the same S10 chipset as its sibling watches, allowing it to be replicated by many of the trucos of the 10 series of last year, as gestures of double -touch -free hands and wrist.
You can also play the media from your new and cheapest watch, assuming you want. It does not increase the battery life for SE 3, but a quick charge is obtained as a consolation prize.
