Set of chips

The iPhone 17 uses the new Apple A19 SoC (system on a chip). It has the new Apple-designed N1 networking chip, part of a tendency by Apple to depend less on Broadcom.^[5]

The iPhone 17 also removes the 128GB storage option that was available from its predecessor, the iPhone 16, marking the first base model iPhone to only come with 256GB and 512GB of storage with prices starting from $799.^[6]

Screen

The iPhone 17 includes a larger 6.3" OLED screen and dynamic 120Hz ProMotion refresh rate, its first use on a non-Pro iPhone model.^[3]

The screen uses a resolution of 2622x1206 at 460 pixels per inch. The iPhone 17 also supports Always-On display.

Camera

The iPhone 17 uses a 48 Megapixel Dual Fusion camera system, with a 48 Megapixel Fusion Main lens, and a 48 Megapixel Fusion Ultra Wide. This enables 12 Megapixel 2x Telephoto photos and videos with visual quality using the main camera lens.

The front camera uses a 18MP Centre Stage camera with Dual Capture, which allows the front camera to be used in any direction and create either a landscape, or portrait photo, based on who's in the shot.^[7]

Security

Starting with all iPhone 17 models and iPhone Air, devices based on the A19 and A19 Pro include Memory Integrity Enforcement (MIE).^[8][9]
