Apple iPhone 17 review – GSMArena.com tests | Infinium-tech

Introduction

The next installment in the mainstream lineup of the iPhone 17 Apple and is replaced with an air model this year with its plus cybbing, it looks like a dud in the lineup with its plain naming. Except that there is a completely misconception and it can be the best member of the 2025 Apple series.

This year’s refresh brings many meaningful upgrade to iPhone 16. The major among them is the new 6.3-inch LTpo Super Retina XDR OLED panel with the major slimmer bezels and a variable refreshing rate up to 120 Hz. The brightness has also been promoted, at the peak of 3000 knots, so the vanilla model is equivalent to the pro model for the first time.

Then there is a brand-new A19 chipset, built on a 3Nm process, which is paired with 8 GB RAM for frequent high performance and supports longer software below the road.

Photography also gets a collision. The dual 48MP system inherits several latest computational tricks of Apple, which improves low-light performance and Dolby Vision HDR video recording by 4K60. Even the selfie camera has been refreshed with the ability to capture 18MP sensors, OIS and spatial audio and dolby vision video.

The design is largely unchanged compared to the iPhone 16, but with the controversial form of the Pro model, a point can be created that the base model in the chain is also best looking best. Unlike the iPhone 17 Pro and Pro Max, which puts a new glass “window” at the back, the standard model retains the all-glass rear with an aluminum frame-one look that is a cleaner and not easy to scratch.

With IP68 water resistance, Magsafe and QI2 wireless charging, and satellite connectivity for SOS and Find My, iPhone 17 ticks all expected boxes for a modern flagship. And while its 3,692mAh battery is not the largest, it still has a more expensive air. It also matches professionals at speedy speed with both wired PD3.2 and 25W wireless charging support. And, of course even more importantly, it eventually provides 256 GB storage in its base version.

Therefore, while the Pro models continue to push the boundaries with additional features and a boulder look, the iPhone 17 is certainly the vanilla model who stands closest to them. A tool that only recalls on a few niche features, while the basics are better than their predecessors. Thus, the vanilla iPhone 17 can be very well “for one” in the iphone 17 generation – we will find out by the end of this review.

Out of the box

You won’t think that a product box will make a lot of difference in the grand plan of things, but it is actually very important for Apple, not only from the point of view of a company’s image, but also for logistics. When you ship multiple products as apple, you can save a lot in every inch, which is why the iPhone 17 box is as thin as usual. Nevertheless, it is very strong and made of quality cardboard and fully recycled, which is very good for the environment. Despite the cardboard construction, an insert is included in the inside for the safety of the phone during the transit.

Do not expect a lot in terms of goods, though. Apple led the charge to remove the charge from the box to remove the charge, a step that was adopted by many others, so never expect a reversal. The product indicates the back of the box that you need to get yourself from 4.5W to 29W PD charger, but actually more than that. Apple has a new AVS charger on the market, which you may need to get to complete the charging capacity of the iPhone 17.

So what do you get in the box? Well, a nice braided USB Type-C for Type-C Cable and a SIM Ejector Tool. That’s it.
