About the Apple iPhone 17

The Apple iPhone 17 is arguably the best-value iPhone in the 2025 lineup, closing the gap with the Pro models in nearly every area that matters. The standout addition is a 120Hz ProMotion display, which finally brings smooth scrolling and always-on functionality to the standard iPhone. The 6.3-inch Super Retina XDR OLED panel hits 3,000 nits peak brightness, matching the Pro models for the first time. Powered by the A19 chip with the new vapor chamber cooling system, it handles Apple Intelligence features, gaming, and everyday tasks with ease. The camera system gets a major boost with a new 48MP ultrawide joining the 48MP Fusion main sensor, plus an upgraded 18MP Centre Stage front camera. Speakers have been significantly improved with wider stereo sound and more bass. Starting at 256GB of storage, the iPhone 17 doubles the base storage of its predecessor without moving up a price bracket. With Wi-Fi 7 via the N1 chip, faster 25W wireless charging without needing MagSafe, and seven years of software support, the standard iPhone 17 has never been this close to Pro territory.

Frequently asked questions

Can I get the Apple iPhone 17 Tesco Mobile on contract with no upfront cost?

Yes. The cheapest no-upfront-cost contract for the Apple iPhone 17 Tesco Mobile is £36.49/month over 36 months with £0 upfront. Total cost: £1,313.64.

Is the Apple iPhone 17 worth buying?

Yes, the Apple iPhone 17 is one of the best-value smartphones available. It brings 120Hz ProMotion, 3,000-nit brightness, a dual 48MP camera system, and the A19 chip with 256GB of storage as standard. Reviewers widely agree it offers the most meaningful year-over-year upgrade the standard iPhone has seen in years.

Does the Apple iPhone 17 have a 120Hz display?

Yes, the Apple iPhone 17 finally features a 120Hz ProMotion display with always-on functionality. This is a major upgrade from the iPhone 16's 60Hz panel, delivering noticeably smoother scrolling, more responsive touch input, and better gaming performance.

How good is the Apple iPhone 17 camera?

The Apple iPhone 17 has a dual camera system with a 48MP Fusion main sensor and a new 48MP ultrawide lens that also supports macro photography. The front camera is an 18MP Centre Stage sensor. Together they produce excellent photos and video, though you miss out on the telephoto zoom available on the Pro models.

How much storage does the Apple iPhone 17 have?

The Apple iPhone 17 starts at 256GB, which is double the 128GB base storage of the iPhone 16. A 512GB option is also available. The increased base storage means more room for apps, photos, and 4K video without worrying about running out of space.

Should I upgrade from the iPhone 16 to the Apple iPhone 17?

The Apple iPhone 17 is a strong upgrade from the iPhone 16. You get 120Hz ProMotion (up from 60Hz), double the base storage, a brighter 3,000-nit display, an upgraded 48MP ultrawide camera, the faster A19 chip, better speakers, and 25W wireless charging without MagSafe. For the same starting price, it is a significant step up.

Does the Apple iPhone 17 support Apple Intelligence?

Yes, the Apple iPhone 17 fully supports Apple Intelligence powered by the A19 chip. This includes writing tools, image generation, smart notification summaries, enhanced Siri, and other AI-driven features that run both on-device and in the cloud.

Is the Apple iPhone 17 Pro worth it over the Apple iPhone 17?

The biggest reason to step up is the camera: the iPhone 17 Pro adds a 48MP telephoto with 4x and 8x optical-quality zoom, giving you a full triple-lens system versus the iPhone 17's dual cameras. You also get the faster A19 Pro chip, 12GB of RAM, and a larger 3,998mAh battery. The Pro commands a substantial premium over the standard iPhone 17 SIM-free. If telephoto zoom and sustained Pro performance matter, the upgrade is justified. Compare Apple iPhone 17 Pro deals.

Based on main-sensor size (1-inch / 1/1.3" beats 1/2.0"), telephoto reach (periscope > 5x > 3x optical), image processing tier (Apple Pro, Pixel Pro, Galaxy Ultra, Honor Magic Pro, Xiaomi Ultra), pro video features (ProRes, Apple Log, Dolby Vision), camera-partnership branding (Leica, Hasselblad, Zeiss) and OIS. Older flagships are de-rated since image processing pipelines have advanced significantly each generation. Megapixel count is deliberately downweighted — it correlates poorly with real-world camera quality. Where DXOMARK has lab-tested the phone, its measured score replaces this estimate.

Based on battery capacity (mAh) adjusted for platform efficiency calibrated against NotebookCheck, Tom's Guide, GSMArena and CNET reviewer tests. Apple A-series gets +45% (iOS process freezing + LTPO 1Hz + tuned panels make iPhone Pro Max outlast many 6500+ mAh Android phones in measured tests). Top Snapdragon / Dimensity flagships get +15%, budget chipsets are penalised −15% to −25% to reflect less efficient displays and looser background limits. Charging speed is excluded — see the separate Fast charging tag for that.
