Overview

• COMPUTER BILD’s lab review names the iPhone 17 Pro the lineup leader, recording 15:23 hours in its robot battery test versus 13:48 for the 17 Pro Max.
• Apple confirms larger batteries across the range, including 4,252 mAh for the 17 Pro and 5,088 mAh for the Pro Max, with testers noting the smaller display likely reduced power draw in continuous‑use trials.
• The 17 Pro’s 6.3‑inch, 120 Hz display measured 2,421 nits peak SDR brightness and up to 2,628 nits in HDR, with strong color and contrast and light anti‑reflective treatment.
• Only the Pro models use the A19 Pro chip with six CPU and six GPU cores plus a liquid‑vapor cooling chamber; benchmarks show sizable gains over the 16 Pro and sustained graphics that, even after a 30.5% drop, remain above the 16 Pro’s peak.
• All three rear cameras now use 48‑megapixel sensors, with the telephoto beginning optical zoom at 4x for sharper everyday shots and stronger natural bokeh; separately, CHIP highlights that the standard iPhone 17 finally adopts a 120 Hz display.
