Its foundation rests on a forged aluminium unibody chassis featuring a vapour chamber, alongside a 6.3 Ω, 120 Hz, 3,000 nits LTPO Super Retina XDR OLED screen and the fresh 48 MP Pro Fusion triple camera setup with a 200 mm telephoto tetraprism lens. Power comes from the 3nm A19 Pro chip paired with 12GB LPDDR5X, delivering consistent performance for on-device AI tasks.
A19 Pro and 12 GB of RAM
Within the SoC you'll find an 8-core CPU and a ray-traced GPU, both boosted by the 16-core Neural Engine. Thanks to the 12GB, 4K editing and heavy games run without apps crashing, whilst the vapour chamber and Dynamic Thermals algorithm maintain steady performance.
Super Retina XDR 3 000 nits Super Retina Display
The LTPO panel shifts between 1 and 120 Hz to conserve energy. It handles HDR10, Dolby Vision and Always-On; the new Ceramic Shield 2 shields both front and back, boosting scratch and drop resistance compared with the earlier model.
Triple 48 MP Pro Fusion camera
A 1/1.3? main sensor with shift OIS, a 48 MP ultra-wide-angle and a 48 MP telephoto tetraprism lens delivering 0.5-8? optical zoom (200mm equivalent). Capture in ProRes 4K 120 fps and Dolby Vision; Photonic Engine and LiDAR sharpen night details and AR.
Battery life and USB-C charging
The 4,000 mAh battery delivers as much as 29 hours of video. It works with USB-C PD 30W, MagSafe 20W and reverse charging for accessories; it lasts beyond 1,000 cycles whilst keeping 80% capacity.
Cutting-edge construction and connectivity
Weighing 204g and 7.19cm wide, it brings IP68, Face ID, Secure Enclave and N1 for Wi-Fi 7, Bluetooth 6 and UWB 2. Dual eSIM/nano SIM, NFC and satellite SOS round off the package.
Our expert's opinion
The iPhone 17 Pro brings +19% battery life, every sensor at 48 MP and 3 000 nits, tangible gains over the 16 Pro. Against the Galaxy S25 Ultra, it delivers superior thermal management and six years of updates, though its optical zoom is lower. Versus the Pixel 9 Pro, it stands out for screen brightness and native ProRes recording. On balance, the mix of power, camera and size cements one of the finest quality-performance ratios in the premium bracket, the sole compromise being 120Hz rather than 144Hz seen on some rivals.
