Apple continues its staggered price strategy, being the iPhone 17 the most economical model of this new batch of devices. Under these lines we tell you all the details.

iPhone 17, Technical Card

With more screen and welcoming 120 Hz

One of the main novelties of the iPhone 17 is the increase in the size of its screen, which exceeds 6.1 inches of the iPhone 16 at 6.3 inches. This means that the base model now matches the dimensions of the iPhone 16 Prothus obtaining more visual space.

However, perhaps the most relevant change comes with the inclusion of technology Promotion of 120Hz, which until now had been reserved exclusively for the Pro models. The panel, which has the LTPO Super Retina XDR OLED technology of the firm, now provides just like its older brothers A much more fluid displacement And more visual experience, something that will above all will be noted when navigating the iOS interface and the rest of the applications.

It should also be noted that the protection of the panel is in charge of the new generation of Ceramic Shield, a glass that covers all family screens. Apple promises that this new generation of Ceramic Shield is three times more scratch resistant.

More performance thanks to chip A19

As for processor, the iPhone 17 incorporates the new chip A19 Manufactured in process of 3 nanometers. This six -core processor is accompanied by a five -core Apple GPU that, although there is a step below the PRO Models, promise exceptional performance for all types of uses.

The Selfie Chamber also has a novelty: the possibility of obtaining photographs in the orientation that we choose, being able to get high resolution photos in a much more versatile way.
