Apple announces $799 iPhone 17 with bigger 6.3-inch always-on ProMotion screen, A19 chip | This is the first time the regular iPhone has gotten the high-refresh screen.


This is the first time the regular iPhone has gotten the high-refresh screen.

The refresh rate adjusts dynamically based on what you're doing, and can go as low as 1 Hz in the low-power always-on display mode. The front-facing camera has also been given a new 18MP Center Stage sensor that's nearly twice as large as the old one, and it's square instead of rectangular, so Apple can offer the same framing options regardless of whether you're shooting in portrait or landscape mode.
