The Main Fusion camera delivers 2× optical-quality zoom through sensor cropping, providing 0.5×, 1×, and 2× zoom options without quality loss.
Camera capabilities:
48MP Main Fusion: f/1.6 aperture, sensor-shift optical image stabilisation, 26mm focal length
48MP Ultra Wide: f/2.2 aperture, 120° field of view, improved low-light performance, macro photography support
18MP Center Stage front camera: Square sensor captures portrait and landscape without phone rotation, wider framing for group selfies

Center Stage technology automatically adjusts framing in real-time, intelligently fitting subjects into frame whether holding the phone vertically or horizontally. Enhanced stabilisation ensures shake-free front-facing videos for content creators. Our Apple iPhone 17 range guide explores all camera features across models.
iPhone 17 Performance and the A19 Chip
The iPhone 17 operates on Apple's A19 chip with 8GB RAM, delivering advanced performance for everyday tasks and Apple Intelligence features. The A19 incorporates Apple-designed N1 networking chip supporting Wi-Fi 7, Bluetooth 6.0 and Thread connectivity for faster data transfer and improved smart home integration.
A19 Performance specifications:
Processing power: A19 chip optimised for efficiency and multitasking
RAM: 8GB supports Apple Intelligence and background app management
Wireless connectivity: N1 chip enables Wi-Fi 7 speeds, more reliable device pairing
Modem: Qualcomm Snapdragon X80 for 5G connectivity
Memory protection: Memory Integrity Enforcement (MIE) for enhanced security against spyware
The A19 chip enables smoother 120Hz ProMotion display performance, advanced photo processing and extended battery efficiency. AirDrop and Personal Hotspot benefit from faster, more stable connections through the N1 wireless chip. Compare performance across the Apple iPhone 17 Pro range for higher-spec alternatives.
Battery Life and Charging the iPhone 17
The iPhone 17 delivers up to 30 hours video playback per charge, representing a 36% improvement over the iPhone 16's 22 hours. This extended battery life results from the A19 chip's efficiency improvements and larger battery capacity within the 6.3-inch form factor. All-day battery life accommodates typical daily usage including calls, messaging, web browsing and media consumption. Energy-efficient ProMotion display adjusts refresh rate between 1Hz and 120Hz based on content requirements. The N1 wireless chip contributes to battery efficiency through optimised power management during wireless operations.
Here are some of the additional features:
Fast charging: 50% charge in approximately 20 minutes with appropriate adapter
MagSafe wireless: 25W charging with Qi2-certified MagSafe Charger
Standard wireless: Qi-compatible charging pads supported
USB-C connectivity: Universal charging standard with data transfer capabilities
The iPhone 17 introduces ProMotion 120Hz display technology previously exclusive to Pro models, delivering smoother scrolling and more responsive touch input. The 6.3-inch display grows from the iPhone 16's 6.1 inches whilst reducing bezel width for similar overall dimensions.
Key differences include:
Display: 120Hz ProMotion versus 60Hz, Always-On functionality, 6.3-inch versus 6.1-inch
Camera system: 48MP Ultra Wide upgrade from 12MP, 18MP Center Stage front camera versus 12MP
