Overview

• Apple introduced the iPhone 17 lineup with upgraded displays at 120 Hz, A19-class chips, more RAM, larger batteries and up to 40 W charging, with the base iPhone 17 priced from $899 in the United States.
• DxOMark’s latest ranking places the iPhone 17 Pro third for imaging behind Huawei’s Pura 80 Ultra and Oppo’s Find X8 Ultra, with the Oppo highlighting 4K at 120 fps, Snapdragon 8 Elite, 16 GB/1 TB and a 6,100 mAh battery with 100 W charging.
• Chinese brands are pressing value at the high end as Xiaomi’s 14T Pro offers a 6.67-inch 1.5K/144 Hz AMOLED, 4,000-nit peak brightness, Dimensity 9300+, Leica-branded cameras and 120 W charging, with regional prices from about S/2,179 in Peru and €632 in Spain.

• In Peru, regulator OSIPTEL reminds shoppers that phones bought abroad must be homologated and registered on a carrier whitelist to avoid blocking, guidance now applied to those bringing in iPhone 17 models from the United States.
