Apple launched the iPhone 17 Pro and the 17 Pro Max at its "Awe-dropping" event today. These were the last two phones to be revealed during the presentation, and the biggest changes are to the cameras and battery life. Apple said the iPhone 17 Pro Max has the best battery life ever on an iPhone, and that both models have 48-megapixel sensors for all three rear cameras, which is also a big boost. Other than this, the iPhone 17 Pro series features improved vapor chamber heat dissipation, which allows it to offer sustained high performance for longer periods using the new A19 Pro chip, Apple said. Here's everything that's new in the iPhone 17 Pro and Pro Max.
iPhone 17 Pro body and display

With this, you get ProMotion up to 120Hz, Always-On Display support, and better anti-reflection to reduce glare. It also has 3,000 nits of peak outdoor brightness, which should make it easier to see what's on your iPhone 17 Pro's screen when you're in a place with bright sunlight.
Apple claims the iPhone 17 Pro series features a new aluminum unibody design, which delivers the "best-ever thermal performance in an iPhone." As someone who lives in a hot and humid city (Mumbai, India), this part of the announcement caught my eye. Apple also says it has integrated the antennas around the perimeter for better performance, which means that the iPhone 17 Pro should expend less energy looking for a cellphone signal. Finally for cooling, there's a vapor chamber in these models to improve heat dissipation. With these improvements, Apple's promised that the iPhone 17 Pro and Pro Max can deliver sustained high performance while still being comfortable to hold.

Apple's also built neural accelerators into each GPU core, and it claims that the GPU works with the new 16-core neural engine to power AI models and deliver better graphics while gaming. The real advancement is in doing this without overheating, which is what Apple seems to be promising. The iPhone 17 Pro line also features a new N1 chip for wireless networking, which enables support for Wi-Fi 7 and Bluetooth 6, which is good to have as accessories start to capitalize on these new connectivity protocols. Apple says the N1 chip also improves the reliability of AirDrop and your iPhone's hotspot feature.
iPhone 17 Pro cameras
Credit: AppleThe iPhone 17 Pro and the 17 Pro Max have three rear cameras with 48-megapixel sensors. The upgraded one is the 48-megapixel telephoto lens, which now supports up to an 8x optical zoom, which is far more than the 5x that shipped with the iPhone 16 Pro. This will provide clearer photos of objects at a distance, such as birds or other animals that don't always come near you. There's up to a 40x digital zoom as well, which is nice to have in a pinch, but will start to crunch your resolution beyond a certain point. The other two cameras are the main camera and an ultrawide lens. This basically means that the iPhone 17 Pro can shoot from macro and 0.5x ultrawide to 8x, which is an impressive range.
These phones have also upgraded their video recording capabilities, with support for ProRes RAW capture. This format is supported by the Final Cut Camera and Blackmagic Camera apps at the moment. The iPhone 17 Pro series also supports genlock, which lets you precisely sync videos across multiple cameras and inputs. Professional videographers use genlock to avoid wasting time manually aligning footage from different sources. Apple says Genlock is supported by the new Blackmagic Design Camera ProDock accessory, which is sold separately.
