Apple is largely The same iPhone design has been stuck since the iPhone 11 debuted in 2019, but has changed in Cupertino. While the iPhone 17 may be similar to the iPhone in the past few years, the camera layout of the iPhone 17 Pro model is completely new. In addition, there is a brand new iPhone! The iPhone Air replaces what should be the iPhone 17 Plus. It also has a new look, and it is the thinnest iPhone ever.
Changes on the standard iPhone 17 – especially Apple changes The most popular iPhone model– Not so intense. The company announced its annual event for the new phone along with the new Apple Watch and Airpods Pro at the Steve Jobs Theater in Apple Park in Cupertino, California.
Pre-orders are available on Friday, with the iPhone 17 starting at $799, the iPhone Air costing $999, while the iPhone 17 Pro and Pro Max increasing to $1,099, and $1,199. Here’s everything you need to know.
iPhone Air
Apple’s iPhone Air is joining many other phones launched in 2025, like Samsung Galaxy S25 Edge and this Honor Magic v5. It has a thickness of 5.6mm, which is an incredible feat as it is thinner than Samsung’s phones and is 2.65mm from the iPhone 16 Pro.
Those are seven credit cards stacked on each other. With the regular iPhone 16and this combination can greatly change the feel of the phone, especially given that it has a 6.5-inch large screen. This is also the only iPhone this year that uses titanium to help with durability of the frame. Speaking of this, Apple says the phone uses its new ceramic shield 2 material in the front for 3x scratch resistance and 4x better drop protection. The rear glass uses the original ceramic shielded glass mixture.
There is still a camera bump, except that it is now horizontal (ahem, like Some Google phones), but as you can see, there is a compromise: you can only get one camera. It can simulate 2x optical zoom like most iPhones today, but unlike Samsung’s thin phones, there is no speed camera, making it less versatile for shutter bites.
The phone debuted on Apple’s C1X modem, which allows Low 6 5G But without millimeter wave 5G, it also has the first Apple N1 wireless network chip ever. N1 has Wi-Fi 7, Bluetooth 6 and threading support can improve local smart home control with supported devices.
It still retains features from previous iPhones such as Dynamic Island, which occupies smaller space in front, action buttons and camera controls. The selfie camera has been upgraded to 24 megapixels and supports Apple’s center stage technology, which keeps you scoped. The selfie camera has a square sensor so you can take a selfie in the landscape or portrait orientation without having to convert your phone to the landscape orientation. Apple has also added the ability to shoot videos using front and rear cameras at the same time.
Apple says it’s a “high-density battery” inside, which may imply Silicon Carbon Battery Technology Get to this level. The phone is powered by the new A19 Pro chip, with Apple’s promotion of 120-Hz refresh rate and features Magnetic Qi2 25W Wireless charging. It comes in black, white, light gold and light blue.
You might think this ultra-slim iPhone has limited battery life, but Apple still claims the same video playback number as the iPhone 16 Plus: 27 hours. That may be why Apple is selling new low-key Magsafe Power Bank to help users keep their phones slim. Let’s see how long it will take for you to use it.
iPhone 17 Pro
The first thing about the iPhone 17 Pro and iPhone 17 Pro Max is the camera array on the back that Apple calls “camera plateau.” Gone are the square camera modules, supporting long horizontal camera poles. Maybe that means the iPhone will not finally sway on the table. There are also slightly different shades below, indicating the split between the new aluminum chassis and glass.
You’ve heard that Apple’s most expensive model is recovering aluminum, not titanium from the past. Aluminum handles heat better, is cheaper, lighter, not to mention better Carbon Footprint (It is 100% recycled aluminum). Now, the only titanium model in the company’s lineup is the iPhone Air. You might think this will lead to a price drop, but unfortunately.
Apple also debuted a steam chamber cooling system on these phones, helping them keep cool under load. This is an Android phone that has been in use for years, so it will be interesting whether you are shooting 4K videos or playing games that require graphics, how it will affect the overall performance.
