IPhone 17 Hands On: Air vs Pro

Here’s a⁣ breakdown of ⁣teh data provided about the upcoming iPhones (likely the iPhone 17 series, including a potential “iPhone air” model):

iPhone 17 Pro:

* ⁣ ⁤ Heat‍ Management: A new internal design incorporates a small amount of water to help dissipate heat away from the chip and thru the ⁣aluminum casing. Early indications suggest this improves heat handling compared to the iPhone 16 ⁣Pro during demanding tasks.
* ⁢ Design:

* ⁢ Camera Plateau: Instead of a traditional camera bump,⁣ the iPhone 17 ⁤Pro⁤ features a larger, flat “camera plateau” design.This ⁢is ⁤intended to be more symmetrical.
⁣ * two-Tone Finish: The frame is aluminum, with a ⁤rectangle of ⁤Ceramic Shield on the back specifically for wireless charging.
* Ceramic Shield ⁣Back: This is the first time Apple has used Ceramic Shield on the back of an iPhone, aiming for increased ⁢durability.
‍* Ceramic⁢ Shield 2: The front cover uses an updated Ceramic Shield 2,which is⁣ more scratch-resistant.
* Anti-Reflective Coating: An updated, though subtle, anti-reflective coating is also included.

iPhone Air (Potential New Model):

* Battery Life: Extraordinary battery life for its size.

Both Pro & Air⁣ Models:

* ‍ Battery Life (Pro/Pro Max): Critically important battery life improvements – Apple claims 6 hours longer,but real-world testing is needed.
* ⁢ Front Camera:

* Landscape/Portrait Selfies: ⁤ The front camera can now capture landscape⁤ or portrait selfies⁢ without ⁣needing to ‍rotate the phone.
* Dual Recording: ⁤ Ability to record video⁢ simultaneously with both the front ⁤and rear ⁣cameras (for reaction videos, etc.).
