Apple launches iPhone 17 featuring Ceramic Shield 2 and 48MP Dual Fusion cameras


Although it will be largely ignored by the excitement around the iPhone Air and iPhone 17 Pro, Apple has unveiled the iPhone 17, the latest entry in its smartphone lineup, available for pre-order on September 12 and in stores starting September 19.
The new model introduces a larger 6.3-inch Super Retina XDR display with ProMotion, an upgraded dual 48MP Fusion camera system, and the Center Stage front camera, which Apple is calling its "best selfie camera to date". Powered by the A19 chip, iPhone 17 is designed to deliver stronger performance, improved efficiency, and longer battery life than the previous generation.
The evolution of Apple iOS from 1.0 to 17


Apple has come a long way since the introduction of its first mobile operating system back in 2007. With each iteration of iOS, the tech giant has revolutionized the mobile experience, and introduced a wealth of new features and experiences.
At its World Wide Developer Conference (WWDC) on Monday, the company revealed some of the many changes it is preparing to deliver in iOS 17 later this year. To celebrate that, YouTube channel Nobel Tech has put together a visual guide to the changes that Apple has made over the years to its mobile operating system.

Hey, Apple, this is the iOS 17 we need


As a long-time iPhone user, I both really like and appreciate iOS. Apple updates its mobile operating system yearly, adding new features and improving elements. With iOS 16, released six months ago, Apple introduced a reimagined lock screen, improved how notifications are presented, and enhanced Messages.
Later this year, Apple will take the wraps off iOS 17, and it will be interesting to see how that shapes up. If you were wondering how it might look, we have the answer.
Apple iPhone 14 Pro and Pro Max swap the notch for a 'Dynamic Island'


We knew that it was going to be the iPhone 14 Pro that delivered the lion’s share of new features when it was announced today at Apple’s 'Far Out' event, and the Cupertino-based company certainly didn’t disappoint.
The iPhone 13 Pro didn’t make any massive advances on the iPhone 12 Pro, so Apple needed to up the ante this year, which it did with a raft of new features including Dynamic Island, a cool new way of displaying notifications and activities, an Always-On display, a 48MP camera, and much more.
