iPhone
All new Apple smartphones will go on sale on September 15.
iPhone 17 is the most anticipated device of the conference. Its characteristics:
- ProMotion display with a diagonal of 6.3 inches. Refresh rate — 120 Hz in normal mode, 1 Hz with the Always on Display function enabled. It has a brightness of 3000 nits and a more effective Ceramic Shield 2 coating, which protects against scratches 3 times better than before;
- The new A19 chip, which is 20% more powerful than the iPhone 16;
- Apple Intelegence artificial intelligence, similar in functionality to Gemini. Support for image queries and real-time translation;
- The battery lasts 8 hours in video mode, there is a fast charging function, 50% of the maximum in 20 minutes;
- The main sensor of two wide-angle cameras has a resolution of 48 MP, the front one is 18 MP, the telephoto one is 12 MP;
- Support for shooting in 4K/60 FPS.
Price — $ 799.
The flagship iPhone 17 Pro differs from the regular version in some ways:
- The most powerful battery in the history of iPhone — up to 39 hours of video recording;
- Cast aluminum body;
- New A19 Pro processor;
- Improved cooling system in the form of an evaporative chamber;
- Three main cameras with a resolution of 48 MP, a front camera of 18 MP. 8x optical zoom for a telephoto lens that captures 56% more light, 40x digital zoom when taking photos;
- Support for shooting in 4K/120 FPS format, ProRes Log mode, ACES color correction system and Dolby Vision HDR function.
The price of the iPhone 17 Pro is $ 1,099, the iPhone 17 Pro Max — from $ 1,199 to $ 1,999 (for 2 TB). Almost nothing is known about the latter smartphone.
iPhone Air is another phone from Apple. It has its advantages:
- The most durable case foriPhone in its entire history. The effect is achieved thanks to the titanium frame and Ceramic Shield coating on both sides. At the same time, the thickness of the device is only 5.7 mm;
- 6.5-inch display with a brightness of 3000 nits;
- A19 Pro processor with power comparable to a MacBook Pro. And the N1 module supports Wi-Fi 7 and is designed to work with artificial intelligence;
- One main camera with a resolution of 48 MP, the front camera has 18 MP;
- Video recording in 4K/60 FPS mode;
- The C1X modem consumes 30% less energy than before.
Price — $ 999.
I'd like to mention the $59 Apple phone straps made from 100% recycled polyester yarn. However, you can only attach them to the official case. As a result, your phone will be carried on your shoulder like a bag.
At the same time, the famous $19 napkin will be discontinued, because it does not support the iPhone 17.
After the conference, Apple shares fell. This is due to the fact that the event was short, and they didn't really tell anything about the iPhone 17 Pro Max.
