Apple Event 2025 iPhone 17 Launch Price: After a long wait, Apple has finally launched the all-new iPhone 17 globally on September 9, at its ‘Awe Dropping’ event held at the Steve Jobs Theater in Cupertino. Priced at $799, it is the standard model in the latest iPhone lineup, powered by a successor to last year’s A18 chipset, and runs on iOS 26.
“iPhone 17 is a big upgrade with powerful features that make iPhone even more useful in your day-to-day life, from the bigger and brighter ProMotion display with 3x better scratch resistance, to all-day battery life with faster charging, the A19 chip for powerful performance, a fantastic 48MP Dual Fusion camera system, and the innovative Center Stage front camera — our best front camera yet,” said Kaiann Drance, Apple’s vice president of Worldwide iPhone Product Marketing.

iPhone 17: Display
The iPhone 17 features a 6.3-inch Super Retina XDR display with ProMotion technology and an adaptive refresh rate of up to 120Hz. It has thinner borders than the previous generation and a maximum outdoor brightness of 3000 nits – the highest ever on an iPhone – and 2x better outdoor contrast.
The front is protected by the all-new Ceramic Shield 2, offering three times the scratch resistance of the previous generation and significantly reduced glare for enhanced visibility. Apple claims it’s the toughest glass ever used in a smartphone.
iPhone 17: Camera
The newly launched iPhone boasts a powerful new camera system, featuring a 48MP fusion main camera with an optical-quality 2x telephoto, and a new 48MP fusion ultra-wide camera. On the front, it features an 18MP all-new Center Stage front camera, which, according to the company, improves both photo and video capture, keeping you perfectly in the frame in every shot.
What does the Center Stage front camera do?
According to the company, the Center Stage front camera features the first square front camera sensor on iPhone, offering a wider field of view and higher resolution — up to 18MP for photos — to capture more detail. Users no longer have to rotate their iPhone to take a landscape selfie — they can now take photos and videos in portrait or landscape while holding their iPhone vertically, enabling a more comfortable, secure grip and centered gaze.
