Thicker, more durable, better battery

The iPhone 17 Pro is thicker, heavier, and more durable with a unibody metal design and improved cooling. It boasts a 48MP telephoto lens, a 20% larger battery, and 40W charging, making it the most 'pro' iPhone yet, which paradoxically benefits mainstream users.

  • ๐Ÿ“ธ The telephoto lens is now 48MP with a 4X optical zoom, offering more detail than last year's 5X 12MP.
  • ๐Ÿ”‹ Battery life is significantly improved, with the Pro Max exceeding 5,000 mAh and supporting 40W charging.
  • ๐Ÿ“ฑ The unibody metal design replaces the glass sandwich, increasing durability and internal space for better thermals and battery.
  • โ„๏ธ A vapor chamber is included for the first time, improving sustained performance during gaming and video recording.
  • ๐ŸŽจ A notable nitpick is the lack of a black color option for the Pro models, with colors showing on the front bezel.
