The highly anticipated iPhone 17 is almost here, and with it, Apple has decided to offer one of the most varied lineups in iPhone history. For the first time in years, the company will present three distinct models: the iPhone 17, the iPhone 17 Air, and the iPhone 17 Pro. Each of these devices is designed for a different audience, with options that vary in design, performance, and features. Below, we detail what you can expect from each of these new models.
What will the iPhone 17 be like?
The iPhone 17 will be the most continuity-based model, but that doesn’t make it any less interesting. This device inherits Apple’s classic design, but with some significant changes that improve the user experience. Here are its features:
- Display: 6.3 inches with a 120 Hz refresh rate, something never seen before in a base model.
- Chip: A19, improving the overall performance of the device and energy efficiency.
- Camera: The front camera jumps from 12 MP to 24 MP, a significant leap that promises to enhance selfie and video call quality.

- Colors: Leaked colors include purple, green, black, silver, and blue.
- RAM: 8 GB, providing smoother multitasking performance.
- Design: While the design remains similar to its predecessors, the upgrades in the screen and camera make it more attractive.
Meanwhile, the iPhone 17 Air is the direct replacement for the iPhone 17 Plus and introduces more dramatic changes compared to the base model. With an ultra-slim design, the iPhone 17 Air will be one of the lightest and most streamlined devices Apple has ever made. Its features are:
- Display: 6.6 inches with 120 Hz, offering a smooth and fluid visual experience.
- Thickness: At just 5.4 millimeters, the iPhone 17 Air will be the thinnest model in history.
- Chip: It is still unclear whether it will feature the A19 or A19 Pro chip, but it is expected to maintain outstanding performance.
- RAM: 12 GB, making it a powerful device for multitasking and demanding applications.
- Camera: This model will have a single camera, which has generated some controversy as some users may miss more advanced setups.
- Battery: Despite its ultra-thin size, Apple will try to compensate with a high-density silicon battery that could improve its duration by 15-20%; however, this will remain the model’s weak point.
Meanwhile, the iPhone 17 Pro and Pro Max models are the real gems of the lineup. These devices are designed for the most demanding users, those looking for the best performance and the top specifications in every aspect:
- Display: The iPhone 17 Pro will have a 6.3-inch display, while the Pro Max will have 6.9 inches. Both screens will have a 120 Hz refresh rate.
- Chip: Equipped with the A19 Pro chip, these models will offer the best performance in terms of speed, efficiency, and capability to execute complex tasks.
- Camera: The big leap here is the optical zoom, which goes from 5x to 8x. Additionally, the telephoto sensor jumps from 12 to 48 megapixels, meaning the photographic quality will be outstanding, especially in low-light conditions.
- Materials: Apple opts to use aluminum instead of titanium, making these models lighter without compromising durability.
- RAM: 12 GB of RAM, providing exceptional performance, especially in high-demand tasks like video editing and gaming.
- Battery: These versions will have the largest batteries ever seen in an iPhone, allowing for greater longevity and prolonged use without the need to recharge.
