I’ve had more time with Apple’s brand-new iPhone 17 lineup — the iPhone 17 Pro, Pro Max, and the super thin and lightweight iPhone Air — and here are my updated second impressions.
From colors like Silver, Cosmic Orange, and Black, to the new aluminum build, rounded edges, upgraded 48MP cameras with 8x zoom, improved 18MP front camera with Center Stage, and the new vapor chamber cooling system… there’s a lot to cover.
The iPhone Air continues to surprise me with how thin and light it is, while still packing a massive 6.5” display. Battery life and single-camera limitations are things I’ll be testing next, but early signs are super promising.
Of course, the displays across all three models are stunning: ProMotion, Ceramic Shield 2, anti-reflective coating, and scratch resistance that’s already showing great results.
