To watch
Chip a19
As is always the case with new iPhones, the iPhone 17 has obtained an upgrade of the chipset with the A19.
And as you can expect, there is a boost in the power of the processor and the GPU; The previous iPhone was not to be outdone, so I don’t think it needs a big CPU boost, but the increase in graphics should help some of the most advanced games than iOS iOS, like sniper elite 4 and Hitman World of Assassinationrun smoking.
The CPU has six hearts with two performance cores and four efficiency cores. The GPU with 5 cores supports the tracing of the rays accelerated by the equipment, the shade in mesh and the MetalFX scale.
The chip is also more capable of managing the workloads of the AI with its 16 -hearted neural engine, so we can expect Apple Plus Snapp intelligence tools.
Promotion display at 120 Hz
It has taken a long time, but ultimately the standard iPhone has a 120 Hz adaptive refresh screen. When this rapid refresh rate is not necessary, the screen will increase to 1 Hz.
This should now give the phone a screen that can compete with those of the best Android phones.
As a bonus, Apple uses ceramic shield glass 2 which promises an improved 3X striped resistance on the screen compared to its predecessor, and should also be better to manage reflections in brilliant environments because it now has a seven-layer anti-reflexive coating.
… and a larger and brighter display
The display is also a little larger thanks to thinner glasses, now with 6.3 inches. And it also supports live activity and widgets on the lock screen.
According to Apple, it is also better outdoors, because the maximum brightness is now supplemented at 3,000 nits.
New “Fusion” camera system of 48 megapixels
Apple has revised the rear camera system to now display two 48 megapixel sensors in a vertical pill -shaped configuration.
The lower camera is the main one with a 26 mm focal distance and an f.1.6 opening and optical optical stabilization of the sensor. But it also serves as a telephoto with a 2x optical zoom and a 52 mm focal distance. The separate image pipelines mean that the main and telephoto photo will be separately processes, allowing Apple essentially to claim that it offers two cameras in one.
The second camera is an ultra wide of 48 MP which now offers four times the resolution to the ultra-large camera of the iPhone 16. It has a focal length of 13 mm, a f.2.2 opening and a 12MP 1x macotography function with a 26 mm focal distance.
Central stage selfie camera
Apple increased the front camera to 18 megapixels, with a wider thrown field. And this allows users to take landscape and portrait photos without having to turn the phone horizontally.
But the real upgrade is in the form of the central functionality fueled in AI, which can widen Smarty and automatically widen the view file and rotate portrait to the landscape to better capture groups of people posing for a selfie snap.
There is a care of ultra-stabilized videos in HDR 4K. And users can now record simultaneously on the front and rear cameras with the double capture function.
Better battery life …
Apple noted that the improved efficiency of the A19 chip on its predecessor means that the iPhone 17 offers a battery life “all day”.
What this means in Apple terms is not clear, but with the promotion, the display of the iPhone 17 can offer 30 hours of video playback; It’s eight more than the iPhone 16.
… and a faster load
In addition to the best battery life, the iPhone 17 offers faster wired load, with it capable of juice up to 50% load in 20 minutes.
But you will need to use an optional USB-C USB-C power adapter such as the new 40W Dynamic Power Adapter with 60W Max.
