The new iPhone 17 improves across display, storage, charging, camera, and durability—without raising the base price. Here’s what Apple has fixed.
ProMotion Display Now Standard
For the first time outside Pro models, iPhone 17 includes a 120Hz refresh rate display—making scrolling and animations feel much smoother.
Bigger Storage with No Extra Cost
Every iPhone 17 comes with 256GB of storage as standard, double what last generation offered—while keeping the entry price level.
Much Faster Charging
With Apple’s new 40W Dynamic Power Adapter, the phone can reach 50% battery in just 20 minutes—helpful for busy users on the go.
Tougher Screen Glass
The upgraded Ceramic Shield Glass 2 now offers three times better scratch resistance, helping protect against daily wear and tear.
Camera System Revamped
Dual 48MP rear sensors arrive for the first time, alongside a Center Stage front camera that works both vertically and horizontally.
Selfies Simplified
You no longer need to rotate your phone for landscape shots. Portrait mode works in either orientation thanks to the new front camera sensor design.
No Price Increase Despite Major Upgrades
All of this arrives without raising the base price—the iPhone 17 still starts at £799, making these improvements more accessible.
More Than Just Specs
These upgrades point toward Apple pushing durability, usability, and value—not just performance—to stay competitive in a changing phone market.
