Meet the new iPhone 17. Designed with contoured edges, thinner borders, and durable materials like Ceramic Shield 2 on the front, it looks — and stays — beautiful. You can see and do more of everything you love on a 6.3-inch Super Retina XDR display and enjoy smoother scrolling and more immersive gaming with ProMotion, with an adaptive refresh rate up to 120Hz. Take it for a spin. An all-new square sensor enables zoom and rotate options, for more flexible ways to frame selfies and videos. And it gets everyone in a group shot — automatically. iPhone 17 has a 48MP Fusion Main camera with a 2x optical-quality telephoto, and a 48MP Fusion Ultra Wide camera with 4x the resolution of the Ultra Wide camera on iPhone 16. And now Ultra Wide photos are 24MP by default, the perfect file size for high‑quality storing and sharing. So you’ll get stunning, super-high-resolution shots — up close or far away, indoors and out, in conditions that go from bright to low light. And at 256GB, it has double the starting storage of the previous model. So you can capture to your heart’s content — and beyond. The A19 chip powers everything you do on iPhone, including Apple Intelligence features like Live Translation and Image Playground, and ProMotion for playing advanced AAA games. And with all-day battery life, you can work, watch, and wander with no worries. If you need a quick top-up, just 10 minutes of charge gives you up to 8 hours of video playback with a high-wattage adapter. The latest iPhone models come with tons to love. Helpful Apple Intelligence features such as visual intelligence and Writing Tools to make your everyday easier. Fast, secure connections with Wi-Fi 7, Bluetooth 6, 5G connectivity, and eSIM.10 And safety features like Messages via satellite designed to give you peace of mind.
