Here is a comparison table to highlight the main differences between the two base models:

DISPLAY;

Apple Iphone 17 features a larger 6.3-inch Super Retina XDR display, which is an upgrade from the previous 6.1-inch screen. One of the standout improvements is the introduction of ProMotion technology, allowing for an adaptive refresh rate of up to 120Hz. This results in a noticeably smoother and more fluid experience, whether you’re scrolling through social media, gaming, or just navigating the interface. Plus, the display now has an Always-On feature, letting you see essential information like the time and widgets without needing to wake the screen. On top of that, the iPhone 17’s display is built to be more durable and functional in different lighting situations. It’s protected by Ceramic Shield 2, a new and improved front glass that enhances scratch resistance. To reduce glare, there’s a fresh anti-reflective coating applied. The peak brightness has also been cranked up to an impressive 3,000 nits for outdoor use, ensuring the screen remains readable even in bright sunlight. With these upgrades, the iPhone 17’s display bridges the gap between the standard and Pro models, delivering a premium visual experience to a broader audience.

PERFORMANCE;

The iPhone 17  is equipped with the A19 chip, which offers a significant performance upgrade compared to earlier models and is built to meet the increasing demands of on-device artificial intelligence. This chip, crafted using a 3-nanometer process, boasts a 6-core CPU and a 5-core GPU. While the iPhone 17 Pro models come with a more robust A19 Pro chip featuring a 6-core GPU and an advanced cooling system, the A19 in the base model is still incredibly powerful. It shows impressive speed enhancements, with initial benchmarks indicating a marked improvement in both single-core and multi-core CPU performance over the A18 chip. One of the standout features of the A19 is its strong emphasis on AI. It incorporates Neural Accelerators directly into each GPU core and includes a formidable 16-core Neural Engine. This hardware is specifically tailored for Apple Intelligence, which is seamlessly integrated into iOS 26. Thanks to these on-device AI capabilities, users can enjoy features like real-time Live Translation, smart image editing with “Clean Up,” and the ability to create custom “Genmoji.” With 8GB of RAM, the iPhone 17 is well-equipped to handle these features, ensuring smooth multitasking. Although the Pro models with 12GB of RAM might be better suited for heavy, sustained AI tasks, the standard iPhone 17 still delivers a quick and fluid experience for everyday activities and even more demanding tasks.

CAMERA

Apple iPhone 17 is a game changer, especially for the base model, as it brings a host of impressive upgrades that were once exclusive to the Pro versions. On the back, you’ll find a dual-camera setup featuring a 48MP main “Fusion” camera alongside a brand-new 48MP ultrawide camera. This is a significant enhancement because the ultrawide camera now boasts four times the resolution of the 12MP ultrawide found on the iPhone 16. The result? Much sharper and more detailed wide-angle shots, plus a noticeable boost in macro photography quality. The 48MP main camera is also incredibly versatile, offering “2x optical-quality zoom” by cleverly cropping the sensor, giving users more options without needing a separate telephoto lens. The front-facing camera has received a complete makeover as well. The new 18MP “Center Stage” camera is a substantial upgrade from the 12MP sensor on the iPhone 16. It even features a unique square-shaped sensor that introduces a cool “Dual Capture” feature, allowing you to record video using both the front and rear cameras simultaneously. This also enhances the “Center Stage” functionality, which automatically keeps subjects in the frame during video calls and can switch between portrait and landscape modes without you having to turn the phone. All in all, the iPhone 17’s camera system, with its higher-resolution sensors and innovative software features, delivers a much more powerful and adaptable photography experience.

STORAGE

Apple iPhone 17 brings some exciting upgrades, especially when it comes to RAM and storage. It now boasts 8GB of RAM, which is a nice bump from earlier versions. One of the standout features is the starting storage, which has been doubled to a generous 256GB. This is a fantastic change that really tackles the common complaint about limited storage on entry-level iPhones. And for those who need even more room for their apps and files, there’s also a 512GB option available.
