Description

Two 48 MP cameras for close and wide shots

Both rear cameras are 48 MP. The 26 mm main lens has an f/1.6 aperture and optical stabilisation, while the 13 mm ultra wide takes in 120° and also shoots very close up in macro mode. Together they give 2× optical zoom in and 2× out. Photonic Engine, Deep Fusion and Night mode help in low light, while Portrait mode and Portrait Lighting are there for pictures of people. The lenses are covered with sapphire crystal.

Selfies and video calls with Center Stage

The new 18 MP front camera uses Center Stage, which the manufacturer says gives more flexible ways to frame a shot and smarter group selfies. For video, the iPhone 17 records up to 4K at 60 fps and slow motion in 1080p at up to 240 fps. Spatial photos and spatial audio are supported, along with wind noise reduction and voice isolation. Camera Control adjusts zoom, exposure, depth and styles.

A display that shows photos in true colours

The 6.3″ Super Retina XDR OLED display with 2622 × 1206 pixels and a 2,000,000:1 contrast ratio is well suited to reviewing photos. HDR content is shown at up to 1600 cd/m², brightness climbs to 3000 cd/m² in sunlight, and HDR10, HDR10+ and HLG are supported. ProMotion at up to 120 Hz makes scrolling through the gallery smooth. The front glass is Ceramic Shield 2.

A19, iOS 26 and Apple Intelligence

The A19 chip has two performance and four efficiency cores, a five-core GPU and a 16-core Neural Engine. That is enough for editing photos right on the phone and for Apple Intelligence features such as image creation and Live Translation. The phone runs iOS 26. 256 GB holds a large photo library, though capacity cannot be expanded with a memory card. The manufacturer quotes up to 30 hours of video on the battery, which is rated for 1000 cycles.

The Lavender finish and a durable body

Lavender is a light purple shade on a body made of aluminium and glass. The phone is rated IP68 and, according to the manufacturer, handles water down to 6 m, with a free-fall reliability class of B. It measures 149.6 × 71.5 × 7.95 mm and weighs 177 g. Connectivity covers 5G, Wi-Fi 7, Bluetooth 6.0, NFC and eSIM, and it unlocks with face recognition.

Who this smartphone is for

The Lavender iPhone 17 suits someone who photographs friends, trips and close-ups a lot and often takes group selfies or makes video calls. Two 48 MP cameras and the Center Stage front camera cover most everyday situations without needing a telephoto lens. The soft purple tone appeals to anyone who wants a more colourful phone than black or white.
