Apple's September event unveiled the iPhone 17 lineup, introducing four models that bring sharper designs, smarter chips, and brighter displays. Alongside the familiar standard and Pro variants, Apple has added a new player: the iPhone Air, a thinner and lighter model that replaces last year's iPhone Plus variant. The result is a refreshed range that balances affordability, performance, and style, but with some key differences depending on which device you choose.

Design and display

Apple's redesign this year focuses on slimmer builds and revamped camera bumps:

>> iPhone 17 - Gets a pill-shaped vertical camera bump with dual lenses.

>>> iPhone Air - Just 5.6mm thin and 165g, with a rear camera, making it the slimmest iPhone.

>> iPhone 17 Pro & Pro Max - Both feature a horizontal camera block that spans the phone's back, paired with stronger aluminum frames for better heat management.

Screen sizes vary slightly:

>>> iPhone 17 & 17 Pro: 6.3-inch OLED
