September marks the arrival of new-and-improved iPhone models, from the standard variant to the high-end Pro and Pro Max. Though the premium models always get the latest features, even the base model gets some well deserved attention now and then.
With the iPhone 17 range, the standard iPhone received a larger 6.3-inch display with ProMotion and an 18MP Center Stage camera. The typical performance improvements and new color options aside, though, the phone is effectively identical to its predecessor.
