Add DeviceSpecifications as a preferred source on GoogleThe top pair of iPhones now comprises the iPhone 17 Pro and iPhone 17 Pro Max. The two flagships have an updated edsign for higher sustained performance. For starters, each features a unibody design made of aerospace-grade 7000-series aluminum alloy. It is not only eye-pleasing but also has a heat-dissipating function. On the back, the plateau housing the three rear cameras creates additional space for internal components - making room for a larger battery. It has a 3988 mAh - 4252 mAh capacity on the SIM tray and eSIM iPhone 17 Pro variants and 4823 mAh - 5088 mAh capacity on the SIM tray and eSIM iPhone 17 Pro Max variants, respectively. Charging is upgraded to a max of 60W. The antennas are integrated around the perimeter for the highest-performing antenna system ever in an iPhone.
The new internal architecture features an Apple-designed vapor chamber to enhance heat dissipation and performance. Deionized water is sealed inside the vapor chamber, which is laser-welded into the aluminum chassis to move heat away from the powerful A19 Pro, allowing it to operate at even higher performance levels. The heat is carried into the forged aluminum unibody, where it is distributed evenly through the system, managing power and surface temperatures to deliver incredible performance while remaining comfortable to hold. The A19 Pro chip features a 6-core CPU and a 6-core GPU. The 6-core CPU is the fastest CPU in any smartphone, and the 6-core GPU architecture includes Neural Accelerators built into each GPU core, a larger cache, and more memory than A18 Pro. The GPU works in tandem with the new 16-core Neural Engine to power Al models, stunning graphics, and AAA gaming titles.
The iPhone 17 Pro features a 6.3-inch Super Retina XDR display, while the iPhone 17 Pro Max has a 6.9-inch Super Retina XDR unit. The new-gen screens are protected by Ceramic Shield 2 for 3x better scratch resistance and improved anti-reflection to reduce glare. Each supports adaptive refresh rate up to 120 Hz and has a peak brightness of 3000 nits. The camera department comprises three 48MP Fusion cameras - a main, ultra-wide, and telephoto unit. The new 4x optical zoom at 100mm offers a classic lens for portraiture, while the 8x optical zoom at 200mm, the longest ever on iPhone, provides longer reach and more creative choices. With the updated Photonic Engine, the image pipeline uses more machine learning. iPhone 17 Pro and iPhone 17 Pro Max introduce a brand-new 18MP Center Stage front camera that advances the photo experience. It also enables ultra-stabilized video in 4K HDR, and users can now record on the front and rear cameras simultaneously with Dual Capture.
iPhone 17 Pro will be available in double the entry storage, 256GB, as well as 512GB and 1TB. iPhone 17 Pro Max will be available in 256GB, 512GB, 1TB, and for the first time, 2TB storage capacities. Available in cosmic orange, deep blue, and silver, iPhone 17 Pro starts at USD 1099 and iPhone 17 Pro Max starts at USD 1199.
