The standard iPhone 17 features a 6.3-inch display with 120Hz ProMotion refresh rate, slimmer bezels, and enhanced durability with Ceramic Shield 2, offering three times the scratch resistance of its predecessor.

Powered by the new A19 chip with a 6-core CPU, 5-core GPU, and upgraded Neural Engine, the device delivers faster processing while conserving energy. Battery life is extended by 8 hours compared to the iPhone 16.

The rear camera setup includes a 48MP wide-angle Fusion sensor and a 12MP telephoto lens. The 18MP front-facing camera supports Center Stage, offering improved stabilization, a wider field of view, and a new square sensor that enables seamless portrait and landscape shots.

Color options include lavender purple, sage green, smoky blue, white, and black. Pricing starts at approximately $985 for the 256GB model and $1,240 for the 512GB model.

The highlight of the event, the iPhone Air, is Apple’s thinnest iPhone ever at just 5.6mm thick. It features aerospace-grade titanium edges and Ceramic Shield 2 on both sides.

The 6.5-inch screen supports ProMotion, an always-on display, and peak brightness of 3,000 nits.

It runs on the A19 Pro chip and includes the N1 chip for Wi-Fi 7, Bluetooth 6, and a C1X modem that doubles the speed of the previous generation.

Despite its compact camera design, the device packs a 48MP Fusion sensor and a 12MP telephoto lens on the back, and an 18MP Center Stage front camera with improved stabilization and flexible orientation.

Battery life is optimized with up to 40 hours of video playback, MagSafe support, and an Adaptive Power Mode.

Color options include sky blue, light yellow, white, and black. Prices are approximately $1,260 for the 256GB version, $1,520 for the 512GB version, and $1,775 for the 1TB version.

After three years, Apple has launched AirPods Pro 3, which retains the same design as the previous generation but includes new biometric sensors that track heart rate, syncing with the Health app for workout monitoring.
