What do we know so far about Apple’s new iPhone 17 Pro smartphone?
Here is everything we know so far about Apple’s iPhone 17 Pro, which is just four months away from being released globally:
- According to reports, there could potentially be a significant price hike, which could make it unaffordable for some people
- Significant upgrades to the camera have been made
- There could also be several key differences in the device’s design (possibly different materials being used instead of the traditional titanium frame)
- Improvements have been made regarding the screen technology (more scratch-resistant and improved visibility in direct sunlight)
- The standard 120Hz ProMotion refresh rate is expected to return
- The adoption of LTPO OLED technology means that all devices in the 17 series will feature 120Hz displays
- It will come in several new colours and shades
Although to the untrained eye, it will look almost the same as previous iPhone series models, coupled with the fact that some of these rumoured ‘changes’ may turn out to be untrue, experts still insist that it will be Apple’s best (most powerful/capable) iPhone to date.
People will be able to watch their favourite movies in full HD quality, play their favourite cutting-edge live dealer games on trusted sites like the official 32red online casino, edit their videos in their favourite video editing apps, and so much more as soon as it is released in September.
Will the iPhone 17 Pro compete with Samsung’s best handsets?
Based on the previous iPhone series and how they compared to the best Samsung smartphones at the time, it looks as though the new iPhone 17 Pro will be just as good, if not better, than anything that Samsung has to offer.
Some of the main reasons for this will be the durability and high quality of the Apple iPhone 17 Pro’s hardware, better security and support, its sleek and stylish design, the larger selection of high-quality apps that it will have access to, and the user-friendly design of the iOS.
However, there will still be many features and functions that the Apple iPhone 17 Pro won’t have that Samsung smartphones do.
For example, most Samsung Android devices, such as the Samsung Galaxy S24 Ultra, the Samsung Galaxy A35 5G, the Samsung Galaxy S25, and the Samsung Galaxy S24 Fe 5G, are better for customisation and personalisation, expandable storage, faster charging, running multiple apps in split screen, multiple users in guest mode, and accessibility to third-party app stores/app installation.
At the end of the day, it’s hard to say if the iPhone 17 Pro will be better than Samsung’s best devices because different people prefer different things. There are pros and cons for both.
For example, some people prefer using the iPhone operating system (iOS) and iPhone devices and will always prefer them over Samsung devices, or vice versa.
Final thoughts
Before going out and purchasing the new iPhone 17 Pro as soon as it is released in September, the best thing to do is to read the expert reviews first. They will go into much greater detail about how good the device actually is, and you will be able to find out exactly how much it costs.
Additionally, if you shop around, you may even be able to find deals to save a bit of money. Don’t rush into buying a new iPhone 17 Pro until you have decided that it’s the right device for you, and remember that if you decide to purchase one, do so from legitimate mobile phone wholesalers.
