iPhone 17 Pro and iPhone 17 Pro Max have a brand new design

Along with the iPhone 17 and the iPhone Air, Apple has also presented its premium models iPhone 17 Pro and iPhone 17 Pro Max today. They come with a completely changed design – both outside and inside, the purpose of this refreshment being the inclusion of a brand new cooling system to allow the phones to remain highly productivity for a longer load period. And to improve the life of their batteries.

The iPhone 17 Pro and iPhone 17 Pro Max retain the dimensions of their predecessors and are still 6.3- and 6.9-inch diagonal respectively, but the big change is in the workmanship.

Rather, Apple returns to the aluminum alloy and neglects the titanium and steel, which it used to use over Pro models as more expensive materials. The new Pro versions of the iPhone 17 are the first with such a monolithic aluminum structure, and the back panel has a piece of glass, in fact the durable Ceramic Shield material. The display is covered by the new Ceramic Shield 2, which is 3 times more resistant to scratches, and also has a layer of glare and much higher brightness on the screens-up to 3000 nits.

Apple’s new top smartphones are only available in three colors – silver, orange, orange/Cosmic Orange and dark blue/Deep Blue. The thickness of the housing is increased from 8.3 mm before 8.75 mm, and there is a few grams on top and to the weight compared to 16 Pro/Mach.

The two models come with a new triple main camera, which for the first time includes three 48 MP sensors – for wide, ultrasound and zoom photos. The new 48 MP Fusion Telephoto camera takes 48 MP photos at 4x optical zoom (100 mm) and 12 MP at 8x Zoom with optical quality (200 mm). The digital zoom is up to 40 times.

A brand new 18 MP Center Stage selfie camera has been used in front, which allows selfies and in horizontal mode while the phone is held vertically. This is used by all new Apple 4 smartphones.

The configuration of The iPhone 17 Pro and iPhone 17 Pro Max is based on the 3-nanometer A19 Pro chipset, which is already supported by a brand new coolant with a evaporation camera that takes the heat away from the key components and dissipates it to the entire aluminum body. And it has a much higher thermal conductivity than titanium, Apple reminds you to justify their decision to choose material.

Here, too, the key components of the smartphones are collected under the released tile of the camera, all of which allows Pro versions to keep their high performance for longer than any other iPhone so far.

Apple has also boasted the best battery life so far – up to 31 and up to 37 hours of video viewing at 17 Pro and 17 Pro Max respectively, compared to 27 and 33 hours with previous iPhone 16 Pro and iPhone 16 Pro Max. Charging is up to 50% in 20 minutes with 40 W charger or 50% in 30 minutes with 30 W Magsafe wireless charger. Something interesting – version only with ESIM and without a physical operator slot have larger batteries and, according to Apple, promise up to 2 hours more time to watch video.

Apple’s flagships are already starting at 256 GB of base memory, with the iPhone 17 Pro Max introducing 2 TB version for the first time. The starting price of the iPhone 17 Pro is 1299 euros and the iPhone 17 Pro Max is 1449 euros. The 2 TB memory model costs 2449 euros.
