There are four iPhone 17 models to choose from, each suited to different needs:
- iPhone 17: The default, practical all-round model with a 6.3-inch 120 Hz ProMotion display, A19 chip, 48MP main and front cameras, improved brightness and anti-reflection screen technology. Good for most users seeking a solid, affordable flagship iPhone.
- iPhone 17 Air: The thinnest and lightest iPhone with a premium design and medium-sized display. It compromises in camera features, battery life, charging speed, and speakers. Suitable if design and portability are top priorities.
- iPhone 17 Pro: Features the advanced A19 Pro chip, a versatile 48MP triple camera system including telephoto, enhanced mics, faster USB speeds, and a smaller but premium aluminum unibody design. Ideal for power users and those who want the best camera capabilities in a compact form.
- iPhone 17 Pro Max: Offers everything from the iPhone 17 Pro but with a larger 6.9-inch display, the longest battery life in the lineup, and more storage options. Best for users wanting the richest feature set, biggest screen, and longest battery.
