Cupertino (California): Tech giant Apple is set to host its much-awaited “Awe-Dropping” event today, where it will unveil the all-new iPhone 17 lineup. The series will include iPhone 17, iPhone 17 Air, iPhone 17 Pro, and iPhone 17 Pro Max. This year’s models are expected to feature significant upgrades in display, camera, and AI capabilities.
Here’s a detailed look at the top 4 features that will debut in the iPhone 17 series:
1. 120Hz Display for the Base Model
For the first time, the iPhone 17 base model will feature a 120Hz refresh rate display, delivering smoother animations and an enhanced viewing experience. Until now, Apple restricted higher refresh rates to its Pro models, while the iPhone 16 base variant was limited to 60Hz. With this move, Apple aims to match competitors like Samsung, which already offers 120Hz displays in mid-range and flagship devices.
2. Upgraded Telephoto Camera
Apple is expected to make major changes to its telephoto lens system. Traditionally reserved for Pro models, the new 48MP telephoto lens could now be available across the lineup. This means improved zoom capabilities and sharper photography for more users.
3. Improved Selfie Camera
Leaks suggest that Apple is enhancing the front camera on the iPhone 17 series. Reports claim a 24MP selfie camera, a significant jump from previous generations, ensuring sharper, more detailed selfies and better low-light performance.
4. New AI Features Under “Apple Intelligence”
Apple has been slower than rivals in embracing artificial intelligence, but the company is expected to unveil new features under its Apple Intelligence suite. While details remain under wraps, these AI-driven tools are likely to focus on personalization, photography, and productivity.
Four Models, One Big Upgrade Cycle
The iPhone 17 lineup—iPhone 17, iPhone 17 Air, iPhone 17 Pro, and iPhone 17 Pro Max—marks one of Apple’s biggest launches in recent years. With major upgrades to display, camera, and AI, the series could be Apple’s answer to growing competition in the premium smartphone market.
