iPhone 17 is more powerful and pleased with its display and battery life
The base variant of a new iPhone usually serves as the main benchmark for evaluating how much the manufacturer has improved the phones over the previous generation. And that was true this time as well. How did it turn out?
Of all the changes, the most impressive was the ProMotion display ( 6.3" Super Retina XDR), which now supports a 120Hz refresh rate (previously only 60Hz) and boasts a brightness of up to 3,000 nits and better contrast in sunlight . The display is also protected by Ceramic Shield 2 glass with up to 3x greater scratch resistance .
Did you know that FIXED accessories are 100% compatible with iPhone 17 (made to measure)? You don't have to worry about the case's dimensions or cutouts not fitting, for example.
The iPhone's performance is also a step further, as the Cupertino company has opted for the 3nm Apple 19 chip, which is more powerful and economical than its predecessor. If you care about the durability of the phone, then you will be pleased that it has improved compared to the iPhone 16, it should last up to 30 hours when playing video. As for the charging speed, the iPhone 17 can replenish 50% of the energy in 20 minutes .
It is also worth noting that Apple has done away with 128 GB of storage, and the base memory starts at 256 GB.
What about the camera? The iPhone 17 has a new 48MP ultra-wide Fusion sensor with 4x higher resolution and macro support. It also has Dual Capture mode for simultaneous recording with the front and rear cameras.

You can also find other cases for all iPhone 17 variants in the e-shop.
iPhones 17 Pro and Pro Max in a new look
While the design of the basic iPhone 17 has not undergone significant changes, the modifications are noticeable in the top series (Pro and Pro Max).
First, Apple changed the material and announced a return to aluminum (in previous years it had relied on stainless steel or titanium) for better heat dissipation. However, it went the route of more durable, higher-grade 7000 aluminum.
Secondly, the phone is made of a single piece of metal, and the camera module extends almost across the entire width of the back, so the iPhone 17 Pro and Pro Max are not compatible with older cases . As for colors, Apple surprised with orange, which it used for the first time ever.
We must not forget the new Apple 19 Pro chip (6-core CPU and 6-core GPU), thanks to which this mobile phone should become the most powerful on the market, or the battery that lasts up to 4 hours longer than the iPhone 16 Pro.
For cameras, expect 3 rear sensors with a top resolution of 48 MP and a telephoto lens with up to 8x optical zoom (previously only on the Pro Max). The front camera now has an 18 MP square sensor , so you don't have to rotate the phone to take a landscape selfie.
To make matters worse, you can order the iPhone 17 Pro Max with up to 2TB of memory .

Even though Apple has come up with more durable glass for the iPhone 17, it's not worth risking breaking it. That's why FIXED protective glass for the iPhone 17 Pro and Pro Max is here. For example, we recommend the ultra-durable FIXED Armor glass, which is 30% more flexible compared to regular glass, which guarantees extra resistance to breakage.
The ultra-thin iPhone Air lived up to expectations
The most attention was drawn long before its official release to the incredibly thin iPhone Air (although it was released together with the other 17 iPhones, it does not have this number in its name).
Apple didn't disappoint. The iPhone Air has an extremely thin body ( only 5.6mm thick ) made from recycled titanium. The phone is so thin and light that you might almost think you're holding a board game card instead.
The iPhone Air has other advantages as well. You'll find Ceramic Shield 2 glass on the front and back, and the 6.5" OLED Super Retina XDR display with an adaptive refresh rate of 120 Hz is also very positive. The 3nm Apple A19 Pro chip takes care of the performance. It's also interesting that this smartphone doesn't have a physical SIM card slot (only eSIM).
The battery should last 20% longer when playing video than the iPhone 16. The cameras did not disappoint either: the rear has only one lens, but with a resolution of 48Mpx. and with 2x lossless zoom. The front camera boasts a Center Stage sensor with a resolution.
Storage starts at 256GB and you can choose from black, white, gold, and light blue. The iPhone Air is a bit more expensive than the base iPhone 17, but the specs match.
What to buy with the iPhone Air
The iPhone Air of course supports wireless charging. But what if you want to protect your phone with a durable case and at the same time charge it quickly and easily through the case? Just get one of the cases that support MagSafe functions . For example, the FIXED MagVelar case will keep your iPhone Air safe in any situation, because it is made of durable but lightweight material. It works perfectly with MagSafe accessories and also supports the Qi2 standard for wireless charging with Qi chargers.
Also look at a wireless charger or power bank
When you're buying equipment for your iPhone 17, 17 Pro, 17 Pro Max, or iPhone Air, we recommend saving yourself time and worry by ordering other important accessories right away.
Your phone can be quickly charged with the FIXED MagPad Pro wireless charger. with Qi2, MagSafe support and a stand (charges at 15W).

An alternative for you could be a classic charger like the FIXED Slim , which is great for simultaneously charging your phone and tablet in hard-to-reach sockets.
If you know that you will often be without access to electricity for a long time, don't forget about a power bank. For example, the premium wireless power bank MagZen 5 Crystal (fast wireless charging up to 15W with the Qi2 standard and MagSafe support) has a luxurious design made of metal and tempered glass and you can charge 2 devices at the same time. You simply click the power bank onto your phone and start charging it straight away.
