For 2025, Apple has made big changes to its Pro iPhones this year as it doubles down on performance in a big way with more powerful chips and a new design that is largely dictated by function. These are unquestionably the iPhones to have if you prioritise performance, or if you are a professional who requires the advanced features that only Pro iPhones can deliver. But what does it mean for the everyday user, especially since there\u2019s now the super svelte iPhone Air and the much-improved iPhone 17? Let\u2019s peel the layers to find out.<\/p>\n<section class=\"_expanded_lwxdk_22\"><button class=\"_title_lwxdk_1\"><\/p>\n<p class=\"_base_1s8rd_1 _default_1s8rd_12\">Article contents<\/p>\n<p><svg xmlns=\"http:\/\/www.w3.org\/2000\/svg\" width=\"18\" height=\"9\" fill=\"none\" stroke=\"currentColor\"><path d=\"M1 1L9 8L17 1\" stroke=\"currentColor\" stroke-width=\"2\" stroke-linecap=\"round\"\/><\/svg><\/button><\/p>\n<ol class=\"_list_lwxdk_28\">\n<li class=\"_listItem_lwxdk_71\">1. <!-- -->Design &amp; display<\/li>\n<li class=\"_listItem_lwxdk_71\">2. <!-- -->Camera performance<\/li>\n<li class=\"_listItem_lwxdk_71\">3. <!-- -->Performance &amp; battery life<\/li>\n<li class=\"_listItem_lwxdk_71\">4. <!-- -->Where\u2019s the AI?<\/li>\n<li class=\"_listItem_lwxdk_71\">5. <!-- -->A good year for the Pro iPhone<\/li>\n<li class=\"_listItem_lwxdk_71\">6. <!-- -->What about the iPhone Air and iPhone 17?<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<\/section>\n<h2 id=\"design-display\" class=\"_subHeading1_b62n6_111 _base_b62n6_1\">Design &amp; display<\/h2>\n<figure class=\"_figure_8nc2s_1\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"_base_12j3k_1\" alt=\"iPhone 17 Pro and Pro Max displays\" loading=\"lazy\" sizes=\"auto\" width=\"1140\" height=\"760\" srcset=\"https:\/\/cassette.sphdigital.com.sg\/image\/hardwarezone\/fb0342a380852b0e6e6f416564ba6d59ad745136f15e4af9c36ffc9b0a35d421?w=500&amp;q=85 500w,https:\/\/cassette.sphdigital.com.sg\/image\/hardwarezone\/fb0342a380852b0e6e6f416564ba6d59ad745136f15e4af9c36ffc9b0a35d421?w=800&amp;q=85 800w,https:\/\/cassette.sphdigital.com.sg\/image\/hardwarezone\/fb0342a380852b0e6e6f416564ba6d59ad745136f15e4af9c36ffc9b0a35d421?w=1000&amp;q=85 1000w,https:\/\/cassette.sphdigital.com.sg\/image\/hardwarezone\/fb0342a380852b0e6e6f416564ba6d59ad745136f15e4af9c36ffc9b0a35d421 1140w\" src=\"https:\/\/cassette.sphdigital.com.sg\/image\/hardwarezone\/fb0342a380852b0e6e6f416564ba6d59ad745136f15e4af9c36ffc9b0a35d421?w=1000&amp;q=85\" style=\"--custom-aspect-ratio:1.5;contain-intrinsic-size:1140px 760px\"\/><figcaption class=\"_figureCaptions_8nc2s_113\">\n<p class=\"_imageCaption_8nc2s_120\">Apple didn\u2019t change the size of the displays, but they now get brighter \u2013 up to 3,000 nits.<\/p>\n<p>Photo: HWZ<\/p>\n<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p class=\"_base_1s8rd_1 _default_1s8rd_12\">The iPhone 17 Pro and Pro Max look and feel nothing like their predecessors. Though the screen sizes are unchanged, the new phones are slightly thicker and heavier. It\u2019s also no longer made of titanium. Instead, Apple is using a custom aluminium alloy that it says has better thermal properties, which should aid performance.<\/p>\n<p class=\"_base_1s8rd_1 _default_1s8rd_12\">The big news is the large camera bar that now runs across the entire width of the phone. The camera bar isn\u2019t merely for aesthetics. It\u2019s to house components and free up space in other parts of the phone for a larger battery. Also, the antennas used for cellular and wireless connectivity are strategically placed around the perimeter, resulting in what Apple claims is \u201cthe highest-performing\u201d antenna system ever in an iPhone. OveralI, I find the new look refreshing, even if there\u2019s a whiff of Google Pixel about it. <\/p>\n<p><iframe class=\"_base_1xuyu_1 _tiktok_1xuyu_26\" title=\"\" src=\"https:\/\/www.tiktok.com\/embed\/v2\/7548160361715813650?is_from_webapp=1&amp;sender_device=pc&amp;web_id=7553181520153069072\" style=\"aspect-ratio:0.5625\" allowfullscreen=\"\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share;\" loading=\"lazy\"><\/iframe><\/p>\n<p class=\"_base_1s8rd_1 _default_1s8rd_12\">We have to talk about colours, and the star colour this year is unquestionably <b>Cosmic Orange<\/b>. This is an unusually bright colour for a Pro iPhone, and it\u2019s the one you want if you are the type who wants everyone around you to know you got the latest and greatest iPhone. It reminds me of Thai milk tea. <\/p>\n<p class=\"_base_1s8rd_1 _default_1s8rd_12\">Apart from Cosmic Orange, the other colour choices this year are Deep Blue and Silver. Many are lamenting that there\u2019s no black option, but to my eyes, Deep Blue can pass off as black. It looks dark most of the time. Silver reminds me of last year\u2019s White Titanium. <\/p>\n<figure class=\"_figure_8nc2s_1\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"_base_12j3k_1\" alt=\"iPhone 17 Pro Max Cosmic Orange\" loading=\"lazy\" sizes=\"auto\" width=\"1140\" height=\"760\" srcset=\"https:\/\/cassette.sphdigital.com.sg\/image\/hardwarezone\/da48268979e1c1189268d1e202fcdd42a1905e782ef68620de0d56d2049682a3?w=500&amp;q=85 500w,https:\/\/cassette.sphdigital.com.sg\/image\/hardwarezone\/da48268979e1c1189268d1e202fcdd42a1905e782ef68620de0d56d2049682a3?w=800&amp;q=85 800w,https:\/\/cassette.sphdigital.com.sg\/image\/hardwarezone\/da48268979e1c1189268d1e202fcdd42a1905e782ef68620de0d56d2049682a3?w=1000&amp;q=85 1000w,https:\/\/cassette.sphdigital.com.sg\/image\/hardwarezone\/da48268979e1c1189268d1e202fcdd42a1905e782ef68620de0d56d2049682a3 1140w\" src=\"https:\/\/cassette.sphdigital.com.sg\/image\/hardwarezone\/da48268979e1c1189268d1e202fcdd42a1905e782ef68620de0d56d2049682a3?w=1000&amp;q=85\" style=\"--custom-aspect-ratio:1.5;contain-intrinsic-size:1140px 760px\"\/><figcaption class=\"_figureCaptions_8nc2s_113\">\n<p class=\"_imageCaption_8nc2s_120\">The most distinctive thing about the new Pro iPhones is that large camera bar. Also, note how rich Cosmic Orange is.<\/p>\n<p>Photo: HWZ<\/p>\n<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p class=\"_base_1s8rd_1 _default_1s8rd_12\">Look hard and you\u2019ll notice that the bar is actually part of the chassis. That\u2019s because it\u2019s <b>a unibody design<\/b> \u2013 which means the entire chassis is one piece of aluminium, a first for the iPhone. A unibody design confers the phone greater strength, durability, and better heat dissipation. In fact, Apple says its custom aluminium alloy offers over 20 times the thermal conductivity of the titanium used in last year\u2019s phones. To further maximise the thermal properties of aluminium, Apple is also using a vapour chamber cooling system within, but more on it later when we discuss performance.<\/p>\n<p class=\"_base_1s8rd_1 _default_1s8rd_12\">Apple also claims its aluminium alloy is lighter than titanium. <b>Even so, this year\u2019s phones are actually a little heavier<\/b>. On paper, the difference is mere grams, but I could tell from the moment I picked them up. They are 0.5mm thicker, too. This extra bulk is accentuated by the fact that the edges are rounded and not squared off like previous iPhones.<\/p>\n<figure class=\"_figure_8nc2s_1\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"_base_12j3k_1\" alt=\"iPhone 17 Pro and Pro Max edges\" loading=\"lazy\" sizes=\"auto\" width=\"1140\" height=\"760\" srcset=\"https:\/\/cassette.sphdigital.com.sg\/image\/hardwarezone\/72722fb37255922730e92366273c056cbfdf06c99ac8d04d42889fa0355b9133?w=500&amp;q=85 500w,https:\/\/cassette.sphdigital.com.sg\/image\/hardwarezone\/72722fb37255922730e92366273c056cbfdf06c99ac8d04d42889fa0355b9133?w=800&amp;q=85 800w,https:\/\/cassette.sphdigital.com.sg\/image\/hardwarezone\/72722fb37255922730e92366273c056cbfdf06c99ac8d04d42889fa0355b9133?w=1000&amp;q=85 1000w,https:\/\/cassette.sphdigital.com.sg\/image\/hardwarezone\/72722fb37255922730e92366273c056cbfdf06c99ac8d04d42889fa0355b9133 1140w\" src=\"https:\/\/cassette.sphdigital.com.sg\/image\/hardwarezone\/72722fb37255922730e92366273c056cbfdf06c99ac8d04d42889fa0355b9133?w=1000&amp;q=85\" style=\"--custom-aspect-ratio:1.5;contain-intrinsic-size:1140px 760px\"\/><figcaption class=\"_figureCaptions_8nc2s_113\">\n<p class=\"_imageCaption_8nc2s_120\">One of the first things you\u2019ll notice when you pick up these phones are their rounded edges.<\/p>\n<p>Photo: HWZ<\/p>\n<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p class=\"_base_1s8rd_1 _default_1s8rd_12\">The sizes of the displays are the same. The iPhone 17 Pro still comes with a 6.3-inch screen, while the iPhone 17 Pro Max has a massive 6.9-inch display. Both are still Super Retina XDR displays with 120Hz ProMotion technology, which means they look fantastic. However, <b>peak brightness now goes up to 3,000 nits<\/b>, which can be handy outside on a sunny day. The displays are now protected by the new <b>Ceramic Shield 2 glass<\/b>, which Apple says has 3x better scratch resistance. Having experienced scratches on my past iPhones, I\u2019m keen to see how strong this new glass material is. <\/p>\n<p class=\"_base_1s8rd_1 _default_1s8rd_12\">The buttons are unchanged. These phones still come with the Action Button, Camera Control button, volume buttons, and the side button. Some people still consider the Camera Control button a gimmick, but I found it useful during a holiday last year.<\/p>\n<h2 id=\"camera-performance\" class=\"_subHeading1_b62n6_111 _base_b62n6_1\">Camera performance<\/h2>\n<figure class=\"_figure_8nc2s_1\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"_base_12j3k_1\" alt=\"iPhone 17 Pro Centre Stage camera\" loading=\"lazy\" sizes=\"auto\" width=\"1140\" height=\"760\" srcset=\"https:\/\/cassette.sphdigital.com.sg\/image\/hardwarezone\/ac15504c8d325fd10e7a76a1c67094cf6179c5cd26ff7b7007544da42ca8b11d?w=500&amp;q=85 500w,https:\/\/cassette.sphdigital.com.sg\/image\/hardwarezone\/ac15504c8d325fd10e7a76a1c67094cf6179c5cd26ff7b7007544da42ca8b11d?w=800&amp;q=85 800w,https:\/\/cassette.sphdigital.com.sg\/image\/hardwarezone\/ac15504c8d325fd10e7a76a1c67094cf6179c5cd26ff7b7007544da42ca8b11d?w=1000&amp;q=85 1000w,https:\/\/cassette.sphdigital.com.sg\/image\/hardwarezone\/ac15504c8d325fd10e7a76a1c67094cf6179c5cd26ff7b7007544da42ca8b11d 1140w\" src=\"https:\/\/cassette.sphdigital.com.sg\/image\/hardwarezone\/ac15504c8d325fd10e7a76a1c67094cf6179c5cd26ff7b7007544da42ca8b11d?w=1000&amp;q=85\" style=\"--custom-aspect-ratio:1.5;contain-intrinsic-size:1140px 760px\"\/><figcaption class=\"_figureCaptions_8nc2s_113\">\n<p class=\"_imageCaption_8nc2s_120\">The front-facing selfie camera gets a huge upgrade in terms of features and performance.<\/p>\n<p>Photo: HWZ<\/p>\n<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p class=\"_base_1s8rd_1 _default_1s8rd_12\">The front-facing selfie camera gets a big update this year in the form of an <b>18-megapixel Centre Stage front camera<\/b>. If it sounds familiar, it\u2019s because Macs and iPads have something similar, where their front-facing camera tracks the user during video calls. It doesn\u2019t track on the new iPhones. Instead, it can sense if there are more people in the frame and automatically expand to fit everyone in the frame, or even switch to a landscape shot.<\/p>\n<p class=\"_base_1s8rd_1 _default_1s8rd_12\">It can do this because the front-facing camera is actually <b>a square sensor<\/b>. If you are taking portrait shots, it just uses the middle vertical section of the sensor. And for landscape shots, it takes the middle horizontal section of the sensor. I hardly take any selfies, but I can see how this can be super handy, particularly for landscape selfies, since holding your phone vertically feels more natural, and it also means everyone\u2019s eyes are more centred and not looking off to the side.<\/p>\n<figure class=\"_figure_8nc2s_1\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"_base_12j3k_1\" alt=\"iPhone 17 Pro and Pro Max camera\" loading=\"lazy\" sizes=\"auto\" width=\"1140\" height=\"760\" srcset=\"https:\/\/cassette.sphdigital.com.sg\/image\/hardwarezone\/0c2a6a82137c90be33aebc932b79dc03ee67b3215b9a69fa1f23438cc0af8f16?w=500&amp;q=85 500w,https:\/\/cassette.sphdigital.com.sg\/image\/hardwarezone\/0c2a6a82137c90be33aebc932b79dc03ee67b3215b9a69fa1f23438cc0af8f16?w=800&amp;q=85 800w,https:\/\/cassette.sphdigital.com.sg\/image\/hardwarezone\/0c2a6a82137c90be33aebc932b79dc03ee67b3215b9a69fa1f23438cc0af8f16?w=1000&amp;q=85 1000w,https:\/\/cassette.sphdigital.com.sg\/image\/hardwarezone\/0c2a6a82137c90be33aebc932b79dc03ee67b3215b9a69fa1f23438cc0af8f16 1140w\" src=\"https:\/\/cassette.sphdigital.com.sg\/image\/hardwarezone\/0c2a6a82137c90be33aebc932b79dc03ee67b3215b9a69fa1f23438cc0af8f16?w=1000&amp;q=85\" style=\"--custom-aspect-ratio:1.5;contain-intrinsic-size:1140px 760px\"\/><figcaption class=\"_figureCaptions_8nc2s_113\">\n<p class=\"_imageCaption_8nc2s_120\">The iPhone 17 Pro and Pro Max still feature triple camera systems. <\/p>\n<p>Photo: HWZ<\/p>\n<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p class=\"_base_1s8rd_1 _default_1s8rd_12\">Around the back, the iPhone 17 Pro and Pro Max still feature triple cameras. The main and wide ultra cameras are unchanged, but Apple says <b>the imaging pipeline has been updated<\/b> to improve detail and low-light performance. To my eyes, it looks like they\u2019ve reined in the processing, so photos now have a softer look, which, to my eyes, looks more organic and natural. And you can still use Photographic Styles to adjust the colours of the photo to your liking. On the subject of Photographic Styles, all sample photos that you see below were taken with the Standard style with no adjustments made.<\/p>\n<p class=\"_base_1s8rd_1 _default_1s8rd_12\">The major update this year is with the telephoto camera, which now has <b>a 48-megapixel sensor that is 56% larger<\/b>. In other words, all three cameras are now 48-megapixel units and can take 24-megapixel photos by default. For those who want all the resolution, you can take 48-megapixel RAW images as long as you can put up with the extra storage that they demand. Speaking of storage, there\u2019s a new 2TB version this year that\u2019s exclusive to the iPhone 17 Pro Max.<\/p>\n<p class=\"_base_1s8rd_1 _default_1s8rd_12\"><b>The new 48-megapixel telephoto camera shoots at 4x<\/b> (down from 5x in the iPhone 16 Pro and Pro Max). But because the telephoto camera\u2019s sensor is larger, it\u2019s able to offer an 8x crop zoom that Apple claims is \u201coptical-quality\u201d \u2013 though at 8x you are limited to 12-megapixel photos. <\/p>\n<p class=\"_base_1s8rd_1 _default_1s8rd_12\">As a result, Apple says the iPhone 17 Pro and Pro Max have the equivalent of eight lenses. I don\u2019t feel that\u2019s an accurate description since five of those \u201ceight lenses\u201d are in fact crops, but that\u2019s a rant for another day. Here\u2019s a summary of the three cameras and the focal lengths that Apple says they can capture with \u201coptical-quality\u201d (all in 35mm equivalent). <\/p>\n<div class=\"_tableOverflow_ag6jz_1\">\n<table class=\"_tableStyles_ag6jz_5\">\n<thead>\n<tr class=\"_tableHeadRow_ag6jz_18\">\n<th class=\"_cellStyles_ag6jz_9 _fontBold_ag6jz_14\">Ultra Wide camera<\/th>\n<th class=\"_cellStyles_ag6jz_9 _fontBold_ag6jz_14\">Main Camera<\/th>\n<th class=\"_cellStyles_ag6jz_9 _fontBold_ag6jz_14\">Telephoto<\/th>\n<\/tr>\n<\/thead>\n<tbody>\n<tr class=\"_tableBodyRow_ag6jz_22\">\n<td class=\"_cellStyles_ag6jz_9\">Macro<\/td>\n<td class=\"_cellStyles_ag6jz_9\">1x (24mm)<\/td>\n<td class=\"_cellStyles_ag6jz_9\">4x (100mm)<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr class=\"_tableBodyRow_ag6jz_22\">\n<td class=\"_cellStyles_ag6jz_9\">0.5x (13mm)<\/td>\n<td class=\"_cellStyles_ag6jz_9\">1.2x (28mm)<\/td>\n<td class=\"_cellStyles_ag6jz_9\">8x (200mm)<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr class=\"_tableBodyRow_ag6jz_22\">\n<td class=\"_cellStyles_ag6jz_9\"\/>\n<td class=\"_cellStyles_ag6jz_9\">1.5x (35mm)<\/td>\n<td class=\"_cellStyles_ag6jz_9\"\/><\/tr>\n<tr class=\"_tableBodyRow_ag6jz_22\">\n<td class=\"_cellStyles_ag6jz_9\"\/>\n<td class=\"_cellStyles_ag6jz_9\">2x (48mm)<\/td>\n<td class=\"_cellStyles_ag6jz_9\"\/><\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n<\/div>\n<p class=\"_base_1s8rd_1 _default_1s8rd_12\">As you can see from the sample photos above the new telephoto camera is a big improvement. Not only do I find the 4x 80mm equivalent focal length more usable (5x often feels too tight), but the photos that it takes are noticeably superior in terms of sharpness and detail. Furthermore, the performance at 8x is good. In fact, the images that this year\u2019s Pro iPhones take at 8x are slightly sharper and more detailed than the 5x photos of last year\u2019s phones. That\u2019s how big a leap in image quality this year\u2019s new telephoto camera delivers. Quality still drops fast when it gets dark, but Night mode helps mitigate this by a significant degree.<\/p>\n<p class=\"_base_1s8rd_1 _default_1s8rd_12\">My only gripe with the Pro iPhones\u2019 camera is the<b> ultra wide camera is noticeably weaker<\/b> than the main and telephoto cameras. Though it\u2019s a 48-megapixel unit, the photos it captures are appreciably less crisp, less sharp, and less detailed than the main and telephoto cameras. It offers interesting perspectives with its wide field of view, and it has the ability to take incredible macros if you can get the lighting right, but the main and telephoto cameras are optically superior.<\/p>\n<p class=\"_base_1s8rd_1 _default_1s8rd_12\">Pro iPhones have always had great video capabilities, and the iPhone 17 Pro and Pro Max are no different. The fact that Apple uses its own phones to record its event presentations should tell you just how good they are. Some pro users will lament that there\u2019s no support for 8K, but since 8K is still far from mainstream, I doubt many will see it as an issue. What they will be happy to know, however, is that this year\u2019s phones add support for <b>ProRes RAW,<\/b> which will unlock even more flexibility and options in post-production. Apple also added support for <b>Genlock<\/b>, which allows professionals to precisely sync multiple video devices to create special effects like bullet-time.<\/p>\n<p class=\"_base_1s8rd_1 _default_1s8rd_12\">Though the on-paper improvements seem small, they combine to have a profound impact on the usability of the cameras of the iPhone 17 Pro and Pro Max. There\u2019s no question that the telephoto camera is the standout, and I can definitely see myself using it more this year. <b>However, the improved image processing pipeline with its seemingly less aggressive processing is just as, if not more important<\/b>. It helps the main camera take more pleasing photos. Overall, the photo and video capabilities of these phones are strong and are only let down by the slightly lacklustre ultra wide camera.<\/p>\n<h2 id=\"performance-battery-life\" class=\"_subHeading1_b62n6_111 _base_b62n6_1\">Performance &amp; battery life<\/h2>\n<figure class=\"_figure_8nc2s_1\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"_base_12j3k_1\" alt=\"\" loading=\"lazy\" sizes=\"auto\" width=\"1140\" height=\"760\" srcset=\"https:\/\/cassette.sphdigital.com.sg\/image\/hardwarezone\/72c013393e93d1d499a6de19f64fb48a8b6dead4084e2dcc24f06359e994f734?w=500&amp;q=85 500w,https:\/\/cassette.sphdigital.com.sg\/image\/hardwarezone\/72c013393e93d1d499a6de19f64fb48a8b6dead4084e2dcc24f06359e994f734?w=800&amp;q=85 800w,https:\/\/cassette.sphdigital.com.sg\/image\/hardwarezone\/72c013393e93d1d499a6de19f64fb48a8b6dead4084e2dcc24f06359e994f734?w=1000&amp;q=85 1000w,https:\/\/cassette.sphdigital.com.sg\/image\/hardwarezone\/72c013393e93d1d499a6de19f64fb48a8b6dead4084e2dcc24f06359e994f734 1140w\" src=\"https:\/\/cassette.sphdigital.com.sg\/image\/hardwarezone\/72c013393e93d1d499a6de19f64fb48a8b6dead4084e2dcc24f06359e994f734?w=1000&amp;q=85\" style=\"--custom-aspect-ratio:1.5;contain-intrinsic-size:1140px 760px\"\/><figcaption class=\"_figureCaptions_8nc2s_113\">\n<p class=\"_imageCaption_8nc2s_120\">The A19 Pro is immensely powerful.<\/p>\n<p>Photo: Apple<\/p>\n<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p class=\"_base_1s8rd_1 _default_1s8rd_12\">Inside the iPhone 17 Pro and Pro Max are Apple\u2019s latest A19 Pro chips.

Even then, I found that the iPhone 17 Pro Max would <b>have around 35% to 40% of charge left<\/b>. With last year\u2019s iPhone 16 Pro Max, that number was often closer to 20%. Charging speeds have also been improved.

When Apple first announced Apple Intelligence back at WWDC 2024, it said it would have a \u201cmore personalised Siri\u201d that understands you better and could take action based on your \u201cpersonal context\u201d and what\u2019s showing on your screen. Sadly, Apple announced earlier this year that that incredible-looking feature has been delayed and hasn\u2019t said much about it since.<\/p>\n<p class=\"_base_1s8rd_1 _default_1s8rd_12\">Apple also didn\u2019t make much noise about AI features during its iPhone unveiling. Image Clean Up is useful for cleaning up photos, and Writing Tools can help polish your emails, but rivals are doing arguably more interesting things where you can use conversational text to edit your photos, or voice commands to find and add events to your calendars. Granted, I don\u2019t think anyone should be making their phone purchasing decision based on what AI features it has, but it\u2019s also true that Apple is being very quiet on this front.<\/p>\n<h2 id=\"a-good-year-for-the-pro-iphone\" class=\"_subHeading1_b62n6_111 _base_b62n6_1\">A good year for the Pro iPhone<\/h2>\n<figure class=\"_figure_8nc2s_1\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"_base_12j3k_1\" alt=\"iPhone 17 Pro and Pro Max Cosmic Orange and Silver\" loading=\"lazy\" sizes=\"auto\" width=\"1140\" height=\"760\" srcset=\"https:\/\/cassette.sphdigital.com.sg\/image\/hardwarezone\/4da641e9ef8489d822f4bbe0a790ad9186390a4f0d5321a448aadaedab94382d?w=500&amp;q=85 500w,https:\/\/cassette.sphdigital.com.sg\/image\/hardwarezone\/4da641e9ef8489d822f4bbe0a790ad9186390a4f0d5321a448aadaedab94382d?w=800&amp;q=85 800w,https:\/\/cassette.sphdigital.com.sg\/image\/hardwarezone\/4da641e9ef8489d822f4bbe0a790ad9186390a4f0d5321a448aadaedab94382d?w=1000&amp;q=85 1000w,https:\/\/cassette.sphdigital.com.sg\/image\/hardwarezone\/4da641e9ef8489d822f4bbe0a790ad9186390a4f0d5321a448aadaedab94382d 1140w\" src=\"https:\/\/cassette.sphdigital.com.sg\/image\/hardwarezone\/4da641e9ef8489d822f4bbe0a790ad9186390a4f0d5321a448aadaedab94382d?w=1000&amp;q=85\" style=\"--custom-aspect-ratio:1.5;contain-intrinsic-size:1140px 760px\"\/><figcaption class=\"_figureCaptions_8nc2s_113\">\n<p class=\"_imageCaption_8nc2s_120\">This year\u2019s Pro iPhones are some of the best we\u2019ve had and feels like a big step forward.<\/p>\n<p>Photo: HWZ<\/p>\n<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p class=\"_base_1s8rd_1 _default_1s8rd_12\">This year\u2019s iPhone 17 Pro and Pro Max are the strongest updates we\u2019ve had in a while. Taken individually, the updates don\u2019t seem that exciting. But when viewed as a whole, this year\u2019s phones present compelling reasons to upgrade. It really is a case of the whole being greater than the sum of its parts. It also helps that Apple has kept prices the same. <\/p>\n<p class=\"_base_1s8rd_1 _default_1s8rd_12\">A large part of it probably has to do with the new design and, of course, that striking Cosmic Orange finish. But there\u2019s no denying that this year\u2019s phones also offer measurably better performance, cameras, and battery life. Even if you have last year\u2019s phones, I\u2019d say it could be worth upgrading for the improved image processing, the new front-facing and telephoto cameras, as well as the longer battery life. <\/p>\n<div class=\"_tableOverflow_ag6jz_1\">\n<table class=\"_tableStyles_ag6jz_5\">\n<thead>\n<tr class=\"_tableHeadRow_ag6jz_18\">\n<th class=\"_cellStyles_ag6jz_9 _fontBold_ag6jz_14\">Model \/ Storage<\/th>\n<th class=\"_cellStyles_ag6jz_9 _fontBold_ag6jz_14\">iPhone 17 Pro<\/th>\n<th class=\"_cellStyles_ag6jz_9 _fontBold_ag6jz_14\">iPhone 17 Pro Max<\/th>\n<\/tr>\n<\/thead>\n<tbody>\n<tr class=\"_tableBodyRow_ag6jz_22\">\n<th class=\"_cellStyles_ag6jz_9 _fontBold_ag6jz_14\">256GB<\/th>\n<td class=\"_cellStyles_ag6jz_9\">S$1,749<\/td>\n<td class=\"_cellStyles_ag6jz_9\">S$1,899<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr class=\"_tableBodyRow_ag6jz_22\">\n<th class=\"_cellStyles_ag6jz_9 _fontBold_ag6jz_14\">512GB<\/th>\n<td class=\"_cellStyles_ag6jz_9\">S$2,049<\/td>\n<td class=\"_cellStyles_ag6jz_9\">S$2,199<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr class=\"_tableBodyRow_ag6jz_22\">\n<th class=\"_cellStyles_ag6jz_9 _fontBold_ag6jz_14\">1TB<\/th>\n<td class=\"_cellStyles_ag6jz_9\">S$2,349<\/td>\n<td class=\"_cellStyles_ag6jz_9\">S$2,499<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr class=\"_tableBodyRow_ag6jz_22\">\n<th class=\"_cellStyles_ag6jz_9 _fontBold_ag6jz_14\">2TB<\/th>\n<td class=\"_cellStyles_ag6jz_9\">&#8212;<\/td>\n<td class=\"_cellStyles_ag6jz_9\">S$3,099<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n<\/div>\n<p class=\"_base_1s8rd_1 _default_1s8rd_12\">But I have some gripes.

I suppose that\u2019s the price to pay for a larger display and longer battery life. But at 233g, the iPhone 17 Pro Max must surely be one of the heaviest phones you can buy now. My other gripe is the ultra wide camera.

If you can stomach their high prices, they are excellent phones to have. <\/p>\n<h2 id=\"what-about-the-iphone-air-and-iphone-17-\" class=\"_subHeading1_b62n6_111 _base_b62n6_1\">What about the iPhone Air and iPhone 17?<\/h2>\n<figure class=\"_figure_8nc2s_1\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"_base_12j3k_1\" alt=\"iPhone Air side profile\" loading=\"lazy\" sizes=\"auto\" width=\"1140\" height=\"760\" srcset=\"https:\/\/cassette.sphdigital.com.sg\/image\/hardwarezone\/eff8438da194d89b4bd3286436757e30be36e4305698609890c1b879f085dc00?w=500&amp;q=85 500w,https:\/\/cassette.sphdigital.com.sg\/image\/hardwarezone\/eff8438da194d89b4bd3286436757e30be36e4305698609890c1b879f085dc00?w=800&amp;q=85 800w,https:\/\/cassette.sphdigital.com.sg\/image\/hardwarezone\/eff8438da194d89b4bd3286436757e30be36e4305698609890c1b879f085dc00?w=1000&amp;q=85 1000w,https:\/\/cassette.sphdigital.com.sg\/image\/hardwarezone\/eff8438da194d89b4bd3286436757e30be36e4305698609890c1b879f085dc00 1140w\" src=\"https:\/\/cassette.sphdigital.com.sg\/image\/hardwarezone\/eff8438da194d89b4bd3286436757e30be36e4305698609890c1b879f085dc00?w=1000&amp;q=85\" style=\"--custom-aspect-ratio:1.5;contain-intrinsic-size:1140px 760px\"\/><figcaption class=\"_figureCaptions_8nc2s_113\">\n<p class=\"_imageCaption_8nc2s_120\">The iPhone Air is a very different type of iPhone that deserves a separate conversation.<\/p>\n<p>Photo: HWZ<\/p>\n<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p class=\"_base_1s8rd_1 _default_1s8rd_12\">I\u2019m still in the midst of evaluating the iPhone Air and iPhone 17, but I\u2019d say that the iPhone Air is a very different type of phone. Because of its super-svelte body, it demands some sacrifice from its users. The iPhone 17, on the other hand, is the best regular iPhone we\u2019ve had in years, and I think it should be the iPhone most people should get.<\/p>\n<p class=\"_base_1s8rd_1 _default_1s8rd_12\"><b><i>Note: <\/i><\/b><i>You can find the iPhone 17 Pro and Pro Max on <\/i><i>Lazada<\/i><i>, <\/i><i>Shopee<\/i><i>, <\/i><i>Amazon<\/i><i> and the <\/i><i>Apple Online Store<\/i><i>.<\/i><\/p>\n<p class=\"_base_1s8rd_1 _default_1s8rd_12\"><b>Our articles may contain affiliate links.
