This year, Apple iPhone 17 lineup will undergo another revolution. Standard iPhones will finally have a 6.3-inch OLED display, joining the Pro line. This move signals a major shift in Apple’s product strategy, offering more premium features to its base model.

Here’s a comprehensive look at everything we know so far about the iPhone 17 display, features, performance, camera upgrades, pricing, and launch timeline.

Upgrade to iPhone 17’s 6.3-inch display

For years, the standard iPhone (non-Pro) models featured a 6.1-inch display while the Pro Max variant boasted larger panels. Now, Apple is closing the gap:

The Apple iPhone 17 is confirmed to launch with a 6.3-inch Super Retina XDR OLED display — a key upgrade aimed at delivering a more immersive visual experience.

This bigger display is made possible by reducing the bezel size and optimising the chassis design, ensuring the device remains easy to hold and use.

What does this mean for users?

• A larger, more cinematic screen for video streaming, gaming, and productivity.
• Edge-to-edge design with high screen-to-body ratio.

Apple iPhone 17 adds 120Hz ProMotion

Another headline feature is the introduction of 120Hz ProMotion technology to the base model.

Previously exclusive to Pro models, ProMotion offers a smoother refresh rate, making interactions feel ultra-responsive. Whether scrolling social feeds, browsing the web, or playing games, users will experience an elevated visual flow.

Key ProMotion benefits on Apple iPhone 17:

• Smoother animations and UI transitions
• Improved gaming performance
• Adaptive refresh rates for better battery optimisation

Camera Upgrades: 24MP Selfie Camera & Advanced Imaging

The camera system on the iPhone 17 is also tipped for significant enhancement:

Front Camera: 24MP, doubling the previous generation’s 12MP resolution

48MP camera with wide-angle lens (like iPhone 16)

Pro-exclusive features: 5x optical telephoto zoom will still remain limited to Pro models

The 24MP front camera will greatly improve:

• Selfie sharpness
• Low-light performance
• Video call clarity (FaceTime, Zoom, etc.)

The rear 48MP camera ensures high-quality stills and professional-grade video — fully supporting 4K 60fps recording.

A18 Chipset: Performance & Efficiency

In terms of processing power:

A18 chip will power iPhone 17 as well as iPhone 16.

This is part of Apple’s strategy to differentiate between standard and Pro chips (A19 Pro will debut with iPhone 17 Pro).

With its A18 chip, iPhone 17 offers:

• Outstanding everyday performance
• Gaming-level graphics
• Advanced AI-driven computational photography
• Excellent power efficiency

Battery & Charging

Will the bigger display affect battery life?
Sources suggest the iPhone 17 will also ship with:
A larger battery to support the 120Hz display and enhanced features
5W wired charging — a noticeable upgrade from previous 20-25W capabilities

Battery endurance is expected to easily cover all-day use, with optimisations in iOS 18 ensuring great standby and screen-on times.
