Iphone 17

Released on September 19, 2025, the standard iPhone 17 received some of the most significant "base-model" upgrades in years. Most notably, it finally brought the 120Hz ProMotion display and Always-On functionality to the non-Pro lineup, effectively closing the gap between the standard and Pro tiers for the average user.

Key Highlights

• ProMotion for Everyone: The addition of a 120Hz adaptive refresh rate makes scrolling and animations significantly smoother than the previous 60Hz standard models.

• Anti-Reflective Coating: The iPhone 17 features a new coating on the Ceramic Shield 2 glass that reduces glare by up to 75%, making the screen much easier to see in direct sunlight.

• Doubled Base Storage: Apple officially moved the starting capacity to 256GB while maintaining the $799 entry price, offering much better value than previous generations.

• Center Stage Front Camera: The new 18MP front sensor uses "Center Stage" technology (previously seen on iPad and Mac) to automatically keep you in frame during video calls, even if you move around.

• Wi-Fi 7 Support: Equipped with the Apple-designed N1 chip, the iPhone 17 supports the latest Wi-Fi 7 standard for faster and more reliable wireless connectivity.
