It's easy to spot the new iPhone 17 Pro in the wild. Though it comes in a choice of three colours, including silver and deep blue, it's the cosmic orange that stands out. It's certainly the colour to have this year. While popular phones and gadgets regularly come in wilder colours, it's usually the black version that gets the biggest sales. So, the fact that there isn't a black version of the iPhone 17 Pro is a statement in itself. Maybe it's the most Apple decision to date.

Aside from colour, there are plenty of features that are a significant step up from even the iPhone 16 Pro. The body is completely new. Gone is the titanium shell; instead, there's an aluminium alloy that is lighter and 20x more thermally conductive.

While the titanium was strong, it tended to get hot when the chip was working hard, and now there's a vapour chamber for cooling, too. This is laser-welded into the aluminium frame and contains water to draw the heat away from the chip and to the shell to cool faster.
