iPhone 17 can even outdo the Pro version thanks to a series of major upgrades

The iPhone 17 series has changed the way standard iPhones look compared to the iPhone Pro - which Apple focuses on high-end features.

For years, iPhone Pro buyers have been getting standout features like sharp displays, large batteries with fast charging, high-resolution cameras, and more. This strategy has put the standard iPhone at a disadvantage compared to similarly priced Android devices, where it's considered "good enough" without being a standout value. However, the iPhone 17 has changed the game.

A series of upgrades make the iPhone 17 more valuable

The iPhone 17 now makes the iPhone 17 Pro less appealing. At $799, the standard iPhone finally gets a 120Hz display, the same as the Pro versions. The screen size has increased from 6.1 inches to 6.3 inches, but the pixel density remains unchanged (460 ppi). In particular, the maximum brightness of the screen has been increased by 50%, reaching 3,000 nits, allowing users to use it comfortably outdoors without worrying about clarity.

Apple boasts that this is the “brightest ever on an iPhone,” which is impressive for the “most affordable” iPhone in the company’s lineup. The panel is not only brighter, but also more durable thanks to Ceramic Shield 2, which is three times more fingerprint-resistant. An anti-reflective coating also helps reduce glare.

In terms of upgrades, the iPhone 17 is the most powerful hardware update in a long time. The rear camera has been upgraded with both 48MP Fusion sensors for better photos, even in low light. The front camera has also been upgraded to an 18MP sensor, supporting autofocus and vertical landscape photography.

The new A19 chip delivers faster performance, while the AI-accelerated GPU design opens up new possibilities for on-device AI functions. The iPhone 17's battery is also larger, increasing usage time from 22 hours to 30 hours. Fast charging support increases from 20W to 40W, allowing the battery to be charged to 50% in just 20 minutes. Notably, the base storage capacity is also doubled to 256GB.

All of this, combined with the same $799 price tag, makes the iPhone 17 a truly major upgrade and a great value proposition for consumers.
