Apple unveils iPhone 17 Pro and Pro Max with A19 Pro chip and new camera system
Although it was overshadowed by the new iPhone Air, Apple today announced iPhone 17 Pro and iPhone 17 Pro Max, which, in typical Apple style, it described as the most powerful Pro models yet (you'd have to worry if they were worse than their predecessors).
Both devices feature the new A19 Pro chip, an aluminum unibody design with a built-in vapor chamber for better thermal management, and the "biggest leap in battery life ever for iPhone".
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.

Some early testers quickly found themselves squinting at their screens, struggling to read essential things and sliders through a nearly transparent sheet.
Thankfully, it seems Apple was listening: the newly released second developer beta brings a key update that resolves this issue easily.
