- New aluminum unibody chassis with vapor chamber and Ceramic Shield 2 front and rear.
- Triple 48MP rear camera with greater range: up to 8x optical quality and 40x digital zoom.
- 6,3" and 6,9" Super Retina XDR displays with 120Hz ProMotion and 3.000 nits peak.

Apple has introduced the iPhone 17 Pro and iPhone 17 Pro Max adjacent to iPhone 17 and the new iPhone Air, a generation that focuses on sustained performance and photography. The change is obvious: the rear module extends across the top, and the chassis becomes a unibody aluminum structure with a new cooling system.
In addition to aesthetics, key technical improvements are coming: Super Retina XDR displays with ProMotion at 120 HzCeramic Shield 2 protecting both sides, and a thermal system that combines a vapor chamber and the aluminum body itself to maintain power for longer. The confirmed finishes are dark blue, orange, and silver.

A design thought to cool better and last longer
The aluminum unibody chassis is not simply a matter of aesthetics: it acts as part of the thermal system, helping to dissipate heat generated by the chip and internal components. The airtight vapor chamber, welded to the frame, distributes heat to the structure to maintain the most stable performance during demanding sessions.
Protection is also improved. The new Ceramic Shield 2 Protects the front with a more scratch-resistant coating, and for the first time, it extends to the back. According to the company's data, the front panel is more resistant to micro-scratches, and the back offers greater resistance to cracks compared to the glass of previous generations.
The redesign of the photographic module occupies the entire upper strip, leaving internal space for a larger battery and relocating elements such as the antennas around the perimeter. The result is a more robust device, yet also prepared for prolonged power peaks.
Cameras: Three 48 MP sensors with greater range
The rear configuration maintains the already known trio, but now with three 48MP sensors and a next-generation telephoto lens. The set offers up to eight focal lengths, with a 4x optical zoom (100 mm) and a range of up to 8x with quality equivalent to optical (200 mm), plus a digital zoom that reaches 40x for photos.
Apple bolsters processing with an improved Photonic Engine to preserve textures, reduce noise, and fine-tune color. Both the main and telephoto cameras feature advanced stabilization of the sensor, key for low-light and telephoto shots.
The front camera also evolves: it debuts an 18 MP sensor with a wider field of view and features such as Center Framing for photos and video calls, as well as 4K HDR video with great stabilization. Another useful new feature for creators is Dual Capture, which allows you to record with the front and rear cameras simultaneously.
Performance, connectivity and intelligence
The A19 Pro relies on a 6-core CPU and a 6-core GPU to deliver a noticeable leap in performance. sustained performance, especially when the new cooling system comes into play. In practice, this translates to less thermal throttling during extended tasks like video editing or gaming.
The wireless part is handled by the N1 chip, which incorporates Wi ‑ Fi 7, Bluetooth 6 and Thread to improve the connectivity of the home ecosystem. In games and apps graphics, ray tracing by hardware and GPU optimizations aim for higher frame rates and more realistic lighting.
With iOS 26 Apple Intelligence features are coming, including real-time translation and new vision and search capabilities, along with a visual redesign. These tools, depending on regional and language availability, provide improvements in productivity and usability In day to day.
battery and charging
The new internal design leaves room for more battery and, together with the efficiency of the A19 Pro and the energy management of iOS, advances in autonomy compared to the previous generation. Models with exclusive eSIM are still present in the range.
Charging, both models can reach up to 50% in about 20 minutes with a compatible high-power USB-C adapter (such as Apple's new Dynamic Charger). 40–60W max., depending on market). The ecosystem is completed with Qi2-certified MagSafe chargers.
Price and Availability
Reservations start on September 12 and availability in stores is set for the 19th of the same month in the first countries. Spain is among the initial launch markets.
These are the official prices in Spain for Pro models:
- iPhone 17 Pro: 256GB for €1.319, 512GB for €1.569, 1TB for €1.819.
- iPhone 17 Pro Max: 256GB for €1.469, 512GB for €1.719, 1TB for €1.969, 2TB for €2.469.
The iPhone 17 and the new one are also coming iPhone AirIn Spain, the iPhone 17 starts at 256GB for €959 (512GB for €1.209), while the iPhone Air starts at €1.219 (256GB) and goes up to €1.469 (512GB) and €1.719 (1TB).
Accessories and other details
The range is accompanied by new covers (silicone, transparent and technical braiding), a crossbody strap with recycled materials and USB-C and MagSafe charging solutions. Apple also maintains its AppleCare and service plans, with additional options based on region.
With a redesign that prioritizes cooling and resistance, brighter screens and a 48 MP triple camera system with greater range, the new Pros aim for more stable intensive use, clear prices in the Spanish market and a defined roadmap for those who expected a leap in sustained performance and professional video.
