In one of the largest Apple events of the year, the house that Steve Jobs built revealed the iPhone 17 series, with the standard model obtaining a solid update to attract most people and point to a place on our list of the best phones.
And although it is not greatly different from its predecessor, the iPhone 16, there are more updates here than to know in the eyes; No less important is the standard iPhone that finally has a 120Hz screen.
So let’s get into them.

Chip A19
As always is the case with the new iPhones, the iPhone 17 has an update of the chipset with the A19.
And as expected, there is an impulse in the CPU and the GPU power; The previous iPhone was not laughed, so I do not think it would need a great impulse of CPU, but the increase in the graphics should help some of the most advanced games offered by iOS, such as sniper Elite 4 and Hitman World of AssassinationRun smoother.
The CPU has six cores with two performance cores and four efficiency cores. The 5 -core GPU has support for the accelerated ray layout, mesh shadow and metalfx scale.
The chip is also more capable of handling AI work loads with its 16 -core neuronal engine, so we can expect Apple Snappier intelligence tools.
120Hz promotion screen
It has taken a long time, but finally the standard iPhone has a 120Hz adaptive update rate promotion screen. When this quick update speed is not needed, the screen will be reduced to 1Hz.
That now should give the phone a screen that can compete with those on the best Android phones.
As an additional advantage, Apple is using Ceramic Shield 2 Glass, which promises an improved scratch resistance 3 times to the screen on its predecessor, and must also be better to deal with reflections in bright environments, since it now has an anti -reflective coating of seven layers.
… and a bigger and bright screen
The screen is also a bit larger thanks to some thinner bezels, since it now reaches 6.3 inches. And also admits live activity and widgets on the lock screen.
It is also better in outdoor use, according to Apple, since the maximum brightness now exceeds 3,000 Nits.
New 48 megapixel camera ‘Fusion’
Apple has reviewed the rear camera system for now showing two 48 megapixel sensors in a vertical configuration, similar to the pill.
The lower chamber is the main one with a 26 mm focal length and an F.1.6 opening, and stabilization of the optical sensor change image. But it also serves as a teleobjective camera with a 2x optical zoom and a 52 mm focal distance. Separate image pipes means that the main and teleobjective shot will be separate processes, which essentially allow Apple to affirm that it offers two cameras in one.
The second camera is an ultra of 48mp that now offers four times the resolution to the ultra -wide camera of the iPhone 16. It has a focal length of 13 mm, opening F.2.2 and a 1x macro photography function of 12MP 1x with a 26 mm focal distance.
Central Selfie Chamber
Apple has increased the front camera to 18 megapixels, with a broader field of vision. And this allows users to take pictures of landscapes and portraits without turning the phone horizontally.
But the current update comes in the form of AI’s central function, which can automatically expand the view of view and turn the landscape portrait to better capture groups of people who pose for a selfie click.
There is support for the ultra stabilized video in 4K HDR. And users can now record in the front and rear cameras simultaneously with the double capture function.
Better battery life …
Apple pointed out that the improved efficiency of chip A19 about its predecessor means that the iPhone 17 offers battery duration “throughout the day.”
What that means in terms of Apple is not clear, but with the promotion screen, the iPhone 17 can offer 30 hours of video playback; That is eight more than the iPhone 16.
… and faster load
Together with the best battery life, the iPhone 17 offers a faster wired load, and can make a juice of up to 50% load in 20 minutes.
But you will need to use an optional USB-C power adapter such as the new 40W Apple Dynamic Power Adapter with 60W Max.
