The iPhone 17 brings you the latest Apple innovation, with all-new features and a lineup that caters to every user.

In this guide, we'll tell you everything you need to know about the iPhone 17 to give you a quick snapshot of the latest generation. Just like every generation before this one, the range has a base model, along with a Plus (note: Plus is now Air), Pro, and Pro Max. Each model has the same features as the base model, with additional features, storage, screen size, and camera capabilities.

As you'd expect, the iPhone 17 design is streamlined and elegant, with a thin, lightweight build. A Ceramic Shield ensures that it's also durable. A selection of colors is available (these differ depending on the model you choose).

Features that Apple fans will love include an enhanced camera system, with camera tools that are as good for studio-level shots as they are for fun selfies. Something new is the square sensor, which will be good news for those wanting perfectly centered shots.

The battery life on the core, Air, Pro, and Pro Max models is good, ensuring plenty of video playback time. Not an easy feat on a phone so packed with advanced features.
