Everything we know about the iPhone 17: release date, price, new features, and when Apple will announce its latest product
The new iPhone is the most sophisticated and powerful model to date.
As is tradition, Apple will wait until the end of summer to launch the latest iPhone update. According to leaks, the highly anticipated iPhone 17 Pro Max will be unveiled around September 9 and 10 and will be available for pre-order two days later. To purchase it in stores, you will have to wait until September 19. The multinational company claims to have made the following improvements to the refined model.
iPhone 17 Pro Max: features
The main difference will be the design, which is more sophisticated than previous models due to the replacement of the titanium chassis with an aluminum alloy and ceramic glass. It will retain the adaptive 120 Hz ProMotion technology and is better suited for outdoor use thanks to its 6.9-inch Super Retina XDR OLED display, which provides a higher level of brightness. In terms of available colors, a copper orange shade is being introduced to the usual classic models in black, silver, and dark blue.
Another new feature is the likely omission of the Dynamic Island to integrate the notch into the front camera and hide the Face ID sensors under the screen, creating a more unified visual feel. However, what sets the device apart from other iPhones is the new A19 Pro chip, created using 2-nanometer technology to ensure energy efficiency and superior performance. This new iPhone thus becomes one of the most powerful models on the market, scoring 9,200 points in Geekbench single-core and 24,500 in multi-core. Other additions include 12 GB of LPDDR5X RAM and different storage options ranging from 128 GB to 1 TB.
The different cameras have also been improved. The rear features the famous 48 MP triple camera (main, ultra-wide angle, and telephoto with 3x optical zoom), while the front camera’s TrueDepth technology will reach 24 MP. In addition, it allows you to record in cinematic mode or in 4K at 60 fps, along with updates in night photography thanks to the latest Photonic Engine.
The new battery lasts up to 28 hours of video playback and offers fast charging at 35W via USB-C, 15W MagSafe, and even reverse wireless charging for accessories thanks to a capacity of up to 4,800 mAh.
In addition to Wi-Fi 7, Bluetooth 5.4, UWB 2.0, and global compatibility with 5G mmWave and sub-6 GHz networks, the iPhone 17 Pro Max’s connectivity includes satellite SOS thanks to Apple’s LEO network.
As for the price, the Air model is expected to cost around $899, while the Pro Max version is expected to cost around $2,300.
