Breaking news: iPhone 17 release date, features and price announced
Ersin Kılıç - Apple has finally held its highly anticipated event announcing the new iPhone models. Along with the iPhone 17 series, the company made surprise announcements, including the new Watch Series 11 and AirPods Pro 3. Of all these product launches, the most notable were, of course, the new iPhone models. Last year, the phone received a new physical button, and the new version features many improvements. Now, let's take a closer look at all the details about the iPhone 17.
Screen and Technical Specifications
The new iPhone 17 comes with a slightly larger 6.3-inch OLED display compared to the 6.1-inch display on its predecessor. Apple has equipped this display with a 120Hz ProMotion adaptive refresh rate, the first time it's been introduced to a standard iPhone. This is aimed at smoother scrolling and gaming . The display can also reach a peak brightness of 3,000 nits, the highest level in iPhone history. When Always-On Display is not on, the refresh rate drops to 1Hz, saving battery life.
Powered by the A19 chip, the iPhone 17 will have 20 percent faster performance compared to the previous-generation A18. This chip, featuring a 6-core CPU and 5-core GPU, will also be more energy efficient.
iPhone 17 Camera Features: Dual Fusion
On the back is Apple's new camera system, which it calls "48MP Dual Fusion." This system combines the main and telephoto camera functions into a single lens. The camera also takes photos at 24MP resolution by default, making for more efficient storage. There's also 2x optical quality telephoto support. The iPhone 17 also offers four times more detail than the iPhone 16 with its new 48MP fusion ultra-wide-angle camera.
One of the biggest updates is on the front camera. The iPhone 17 comes with a new 12MP front camera with Center Stage. This sensor is twice the size of the previous generation and has a square shape. This allows users to take high-quality selfies directly in landscape mode without turning the phone. You can switch between portrait and landscape modes with a single tap in the camera app.
Last year, the iPhone 16 introduced significant updates to the standard models: the Action Button inherited from the Pro series, the redesigned vertical camera layout, and the new camera-focused Camera Control button. All of these features have been carried over to the base iPhone 17.
iPhone 17 Price The iPhone 17 model comes with a minimum of 256 GB of storage and the price of this model was announced as $ 799.
The new iPhone 17 stands out as Apple's major leap forward in camera technology without taking too many design risks. The addition of Center Stage to the selfie camera, in particular, appears poised to be the device's most striking innovation.
