There's less variation this year with the base iPhone 17 and Pro models sharing a display. The Plus model is gone but we get a new iPhone Air. Here's what you need to know about the iPhone 17 models. The New Models in a Nutshell There's no iPhone 17 Plus model this year. Instead the iPhone 17 gets the same 6.3" display as the iPhone 17 Pro. The Pro Max keeps the 6.9" display from last year. Finally, we have the new iPhone Air with a 6.5" display. Apple continues to sell the base iPhone 16, 16 Plus, and the iPhone 16e. That gives this years models three different screen sizes: The 6.3" display in the iPhone 17 and 17 Pro has almost the same specs as the iPhone 16 Pro. That brings features such as ProMotion and the Always-on display to the base iPhone 17. The only difference I can see is an increased peak brightness of 3,000 nits (up from 2,000 nits). The Titanium frame of last years Pro models is replaced with an Aluminium unibody. The base iPhone 17 has an Aluminium frame but the iPhone Air has a Titanium frame. Support for USB-3 (10Gbp/s) transfer speeds is still limited to the Pro models. iPhone 17 The base iPhone 17 display upgrades to a spec comparable to the iPhone 16 Pro 6.3" display with ProMotion and Always-on, along with the A19 chip.
