Evidence-based overview

iPhone 17 technical sheet

The Apple iPhone 17 pairs a 6.3-inch LTPO OLED display with a 120 Hz refresh rate, peak brightness of 3,000 nits, HDR10, Dolby Vision and an anti-reflective coating. Its 1,206 × 2,622-pixel resolution works out to 460 ppi, while Ceramic Shield and an Always-On Display add to the documented specification. The glass and aluminium-alloy body weighs 177 g, measures 7.95 mm thick and carries IP68 protection, with water resistance documented to a depth of 6 m.

Apple’s A19 processor uses a 3 nm process and a hexa-core CPU with a maximum clock of 4.26 GHz. It is paired with 8 GB of RAM and up to 512 GB of NVMe storage, although the storage cannot be expanded. Recorded results include 2,239,708 in AnTuTu v11, 3,608 single-core and 8,810 multi-core in Geekbench 6, and 4,803 in 3DMark Wild Life Extreme.

The rear camera setup includes a 48MP main camera with optical image stabilisation, an f/1.6 aperture, 2x optical zoom and 4K recording at up to 60 fps, plus a 48MP ultrawide camera.
