Launch 2025
Meet the iPhone 17 family
Apple’s 2025 event introduced three key models: the iPhone 17, the more powerful iPhone 17 Pro & Pro Max, and the ultra-thin iPhone Air. Together, they reflect Apple’s push for better displays, cameras, and performance — with something for every type of user.
Key upgrades across the lineup
iPhone 17 — the all-rounder
The base iPhone 17 is no longer "basic." It comes with a 6.3-inch OLED display, 120Hz smoothness, dual 48MP rear cameras, and a generous 256GB starting storage. Perfect for everyday users who want speed and quality without Pro pricing.
iPhone 17 Pro & Pro Max — the powerhouses
With the A19 Pro chip and a new vapor chamber cooling system, the Pro models are built for sustained performance. Triple 48MP cameras, up to 8x optical-quality zoom, advanced video features like ProRes RAW, and larger displays (6.3" and 6.9") make them a creator’s dream.
iPhone Air — slim yet powerful
At just 5.6mm thin, the iPhone Air is the sleekest iPhone yet. It shares the A19 Pro’s performance but in a titanium frame with a 6.5-inch 120Hz display. While its dual-camera system can’t match the Pro’s zoom, it balances elegance and power for those who value design.
