Its foundation rests on a forged aluminium unibody chassis featuring a vapour chamber, a 6.3″, 120 Hz, 3,000 nits LTPO Super Retina XDR OLED screen, and a 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 sit an 8-core CPU and a ray-traced GPU, both boosted by the 16-core Neural Engine. The 12GB allows 4K editing and intensive gaming 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 supports HDR10, Dolby Vision and Always-On; the new Ceramic Shield 2 shields both front and back, boosting scratch and drop resistance compared with the previous 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 deliver 0.5-8× optical zoom (200mm equivalent). Capture in ProRes 4K 120 fps and Dolby Vision; Photonic Engine and LiDAR sharpen night detail and AR.
Battery life and USB-C charging
The 4,000 mAh battery delivers up to 29 hours of video. It supports USB-C PD 30W, MagSafe 20W and reverse charging for accessories; it surpasses 1,000 cycles whilst retaining 80% capacity.
Cutting-edge construction and connectivity
Weighing 204g and measuring 7.19cm wide, it provides 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, all sensors at 48 MP and 3 000 nits, tangible upgrades over the 16 Pro. Against the Galaxy S25 Ultra, it delivers better thermal management and six years of updates, though its optical zoom is lower. Next to 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 that it keeps 120Hz versus 144Hz on some rivals.
