Description:
Apple has launched the iPhone 17 with some core upgrades

FULL STORY ======================================================================

In one of the biggest Apple events of the year, the house that Steve Jobs built revealed the iPhone 17 series, with the standard model getting a solid refresh to appeal to most people and aim for a spot on our best phones list.

And while it's not enormously different to its predecessor the iPhone 16, there are more upgrades here than meet the eyes; not least of all is the standard iphone finally has a 120Hz display.

So let's get into them.

This news has just broken so I'll be updating this article as I find out more... Get to the point !20Hz ProMotion display A19 chip New 48MP main

As is always the case with new iPhones, the iPhone 17 has got a chipset upgrade with the A19.

And as you might expect there's a boost in CPU and GPU power; the previous iPhone was no slouch so I don't feel it needed a big CPU boost, but the increase in graphics should help some of the more advanced games iOS offers, like Sniper Elite 4 and Hitman World of Assassination , run smoother.

The CPU has six cores with two performance cores and four efficiency cores. The 5-core GPU has support for hardware-accelerated ray tracing, mesh shading and MetalFX Upscaling.

The chip is also more capable at handling AI workloads with its boosted 16-core Neural Engine, so we can expect snappier Apple Intelligence tools. 120Hz ProMotion display (Image credit: Apple) You might also like The best iPhone 2025: which Apple smartphone reigns supreme?
