Missed Apple's iPhone 17 Event? Here's a Quick Recap of Every New Announcement

The most recent "awe dropping" Apple event keynote has come and gone once more, with reveals of the latest iPhones, AirPods and Apple Watches. As it turns out, many of the leaks and rumors that widely circulated before the event turned out to be fairly accurate, though there were still a good amount of surprises. We were treated to a presentation that included new information about the AirPods Pro 3, three new Apple Watches (including an Apple Watch SE and an Apple Watch Ultra), the iPhone 17,

I can’t wait for Samsung and Google to copy this revolutionary iPhone 17 feature

Joe Maring / Android Authority Every Apple event, be it WWDC or the new iPhone launch, brings me a set of confusing thoughts. There’s a lot of mockery over what Apple has decided to copy innovate and their random announcements that no one asked for (hello, iPhone Air), but also a bit of jealousy-slash-awe at Apple’s pull over the entire phone industry. I see that new front-facing camera, and I know many Android brands are now scrambling to copy it in 2026; it’ll easily be the new gold standard

iPhone 17 vs iPhone 15 Pro: What’s more worthwhile?

Apple recently announced its latest iPhone 17, 17 Pro, and iPhone Air models – and as we’ve seen, the base iPhone 17 gained a plethora of upgrades that have made it quite a compelling package. That begs the question, does a 2 year old ‘Pro’ iPhone still have a leg up, or should you just go with the new base model iPhone 17? Displays iPhone 17 gains ProMotion for the first time, something that you previously had to buy an iPhone Pro for. On top of that, it isn’t a compromised ProMotion display

For the first time, iPhone 17 Pro truly feels deserving of the ‘Pro’ moniker

Apple introduced the Pro moniker for iPhones six years ago with the iPhone 11 lineup. However, with the iPhone 17 lineup in particular – it feels like Apple truly developed a professional iPhone for the first time. I’ll explain. ‘Pro’ is no longer just flashy First things first, this year’s iPhone 17 Pro is no longer the flashy model, unlike previous Pro iPhones. With this years switch from Titanium to Aluminum, the iPhone 17 Pro simply uses the same material as the standard iPhone 17 model.

If you’re trying to buy a new iPhone but don’t quite want an iPhone 17, it can often be hard to find something on a tighter budget.

Luckily, there’s plenty of great options if you want to buy used, and I’ll be delving into five great picks for varying needs. #1 – iPhone 15 Pro If you’re after higher end features like a ProMotion display, Apple Intelligence, and a telephoto lens – the iPhone 15 Pro

PSA: You’ll need a new charger to take advantage of iPhone 17 Pro’s fast charging

With the iPhone 17 Pro and iPhone 17 Pro Max, Apple announced that they’ll be capable of charging even faster than previous iPhone models: up to 50% in just 20 minutes. While that is true, it’s thanks to a brand new USB-PD specification, which isn’t widely available on the market yet. In short, you’ll need to buy Apple’s new 40W Dynamic Power Adapter if you want to charge your iPhone 17 Pro or iPhone 17 Pro Max as quickly as possible, at least for now. This is because Apple’s charging brick is

Follow ZDNET: Add us as a preferred source on Google. The market of ultra-thin and lightweight phones is officially at its tipping point, as Apple threw its hat into the ring this week with the new iPhone Air. The newest and arguably most innovative iPhone features the company's slimmest design yet, measuring at around 5.6mm thick. How did the folks at Cupertino achieve such a record?

iPhone Air offers a new feature never seen in a single-camera iPhone

Apple has been including Portrait Mode on iPhone models with only one back camera since the iPhone XR, but the iPhone Air is the first one to get a fully-featured Portrait Mode. A brief history When Apple introduced the iPhone XR, one of the headlining features was how it could take “dramatic portraits using a single camera lens”. However, these portraits were limited to just people and pets. So, if you wanted to take a portrait photo of something like a flower, you could not. Similarly, the

The iPhone Air Could Trigger a Thin Phone Avalanche

The biggest announcement coming out of the iPhone 17 series' launch event earlier this week wasn't about the most powerful iPhone yet -- it was for the thinnest. At 5.6mm, or less than a quarter of an inch, the iPhone Air stole the show. And even though it was far from the first mainstream "thin phone," it may just kick off the trend in a major way in the years to come.

Which iPhone 17 Model Should You Buy?

Apple’s 2025 iPhones are here, and things are quite different for the first time in a while. The base iPhone 17 will still feel familiar, but the iPhone 17 Pro models have a completely new look, and there's a brand-new model called the iPhone Air. The “Air” branding has been somewhat diluted of late—the current-gen iPad Pro models are lighter than the iPad Air—but the iPhone Air brings meaning back to the original idea: a super-thin and ultra-lightweight device.
