===Chipset===<!-- "Logic" or "Chipset" have been proposed on the talk page --> The iPhone 17 uses the Apple A19 SoC. It incorporates the new Apple-designed N1 networking chip, part of a trend by Apple to reduce reliance on Broadcom and third-party chip suppliers.<ref>{{cite news|url=https://www.theverge.com/news/774941/apple-iphone-17-n1-wi-fi-bluetooth-thread-networking-chip|title=The iPhone 17 comes with Apple's new in-house networking chip|date=September 9, 2025|access-date=September 9, 2025|author=Roth, Emma|work=The Verge|archive-date=September 9, 2025|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20250909192555/https://www.theverge.com/news/774941/apple-iphone-17-n1-wi-fi-bluetooth-thread-networking-chip|url-status=live}}</ref> The N1 supports Wi-Fi 7, Bluetooth 6.0, and Thread.

The iPhone 17 also removes the 128 GB storage option available on its predecessor, the iPhone 16, making the base model iPhone the first to come only with 256 GB and 512 GB of storage, with prices starting at $799.<ref>{{Cite web |title=Buy iPhone 17 |url=https://www.apple.com/shop/buy-iphone/iphone-17 |access-date=September 22, 2025 |publisher=Apple Inc. |archive-date=September 22, 2025 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20250922024217/https://www.apple.com/shop/buy-iphone/iphone-17 |url-status=live }}</ref>
===Display=== The iPhone 17 includes a larger {{cvt|6.3|in|order=flip}} OLED display and dynamic 120 Hz ProMotion refresh rate, marking its debut on a non-Pro iPhone model.<ref name="Hardwick"/>
The display uses a resolution of 2622x1206 at 460 pixels per inch. It has always-on functionality.
===Camera=== The iPhone 17 uses a 48 MP Dual Fusion camera system, with a 48 Megapixel Fusion Main lens, and a 48 Megapixel Fusion ultra-wide. This enables 12 MP 2x zoom shots with optical quality using the main camera lens.
The front camera uses an 18 MP Centre Stage camera with Dual Capture, which allows it to be used in any orientation and to create either a landscape or portrait photo, based on who is in the shot.<ref>{{Cite web |title=iPhone 17 - Technical Specifications |url=https://www.apple.com/iphone-17/specs/ |access-date=September 10, 2025 |publisher=Apple Inc. |archive-date=September 9, 2025 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20250909220534/https://www.apple.com/iphone-17/specs/ |url-status=live }}</ref>

== Reception == ''IGN''<nowiki/>'s Shubham Agarwal described the iPhone 17 as "Apple's best entry-level iPhone in years", praising the 120 Hz display and the faster 40 W charging for the first time in a non-Pro iPhone model, but criticizing its camera quality in low-light conditions.<ref name=":0">{{Cite web |last=Agarwal |first=Shubham |date=2025-10-17 |title=Apple iPhone 17 Review |url=https://www.ign.com/articles/apple-iphone-17-review |access-date=2026-04-09 |website=IGN |language=en}}</ref> The A19 was praised for its performance in day-to-day use and multitasking, though ''IGN'' noted that "[g]aming performance isn’t as strong as the Pro's, and though it can smoothly run the majority of games on the App Store, some of the heavier ones, like ''Assassin's Creed Mirage'', can stutter at the highest graphic settings."<ref name=":0" />
