Summary
Apple says the iPhone 17 Pro’s new thermal design delivers up to 40% better sustained performance than the prior generation in gaming, video editing and on-device AI workloads.
An aluminum unibody and laser-welded vapor chamber move heat from the A19 Pro chip across the chassis, reducing throttling and freeing internal space for a larger battery.
Battery gains extend to the iPhone 17 Pro Max, which Apple rates for up to 39 hours of video playback and calls the longest-lasting iPhone yet.
The camera upgrade adds three 48MP sensors—main, ultra wide and telephoto—plus 8x optical-quality zoom, a 56% larger telephoto sensor and pro features including ProRes RAW, Apple Log 2 and 4K Dolby Vision at 120 fps.
