Apple recently revealed its all-new phones, the iPhone 17 series. That is three upgrades to familiar models and also the brand-new iPhone 17 Air, that is replacing the iPhone Plus.

The iPhone 17 gets a fresh design with a slightly larger 6.3-inch display and thinner borders. And after a long wait (and a lot of grumbling), the base iPhone 17 finally features a 120Hz refresh rate.
Internally, Apple’s new A19 chip is more powerful and also more optimized, particularly when paired with Apple Intelligence. If you're upgrading from an older iPhone, you'll notice a huge jump in speed and better gaming performance courtesy of ProMotion.
