iPhone 17 pro and pro max: Apple muscle sound high -end

When Google emphasized its advances in terms of AI and user experience at the launch of its Pixel 10, Apple especially highlighted the aesthetics of its new products. A way to sweep up under the carpet barely camouflaged behind the effect of novelty of the visual overhaul ofiOS 26baptized Liquid Glass.

If the iPhone 17 Pro and Pro Max keep respective screen sizes of 6.3 and 6.9 inch and promotion technology, the real novelty is located elsewhere: a unibody aluminum case similar to Mac for better thermal dissipation. Apple also gratifies the anti -reflective treatment, intended to limit the discomfort caused by sunlight or inner reflections, and Ceramic Shield 2 protection.

A chip cut for performance

The two models are powered by the new A19 Pro chip, associated with 12 GB of RAM. Engraved in 3 Nm according to the N3P process, it combines speed and energy efficiency. A steam cooling system completes the whole to maintain stable performance, even in the event of intensive use, for example during long game sessions or 8K video recordings.

A back dressed for winter

Apple fully reviews the arrangement of the photo block, which now extends horizontally over the entire width, like a POCO F6 PRO. On the left, we find the three sensors, on the right the flash and the Lidar. The apple marks a first with three 48-megapixel photo modules: Grand Angle, Ultra Grand-Angle and Telephoto. These sensors benefit from Fusion Camera technology, supposed to offer superior image quality. The telephoto telephoto now offers an X8 zoom, up compared to the old X5, but this functionality is based on a hybrid treatment which reduces resolution to 12 MP in X8 mode. By default, the telephoto is a model X4 to 48 MP.

Towards a record autonomy … for everyone?

According to the firm, the iPhone 17 Pro promise to offer the longest autonomy ever reached on an iPhone model. This performance would be largely due to improved energy management, but also to a variant without nanosim drawer. This would make it possible to integrate a larger capacity battery for better autonomy. However, France would not be affected by this version Full esimand users will have to settle for the Nanosim version, which will be the only one available in France.

In addition to its new horizontal photo block, the iPhone 17 pro and pro max will be available in four colors: navy blue, copper orange, white and black. The iPhone 17 Pro starts at € 1329, while the Pro Max appears at € 1479. Pre -orders will open on September 12, with an official release on September 19, 2025.
