iPhone 17, 17 Pro, 17 Pro Max and Air screen protectors

Apple has unveiled its iPhone class for 2025 – the iPhone 17, iPhone 17 Pro, iPhone 17 Pro Max and newcomer in the family, the all new iPhone Air. It’s a question that leaves stunned buyers wondering: Wait, which iPhone should I get?

In this blog, I’ll be comparing the latest iPhones in categories like design, display, performance, camera quality and battery life so you can make a sensible choice.

📱 Design and Build: Slim with the Punch of Durability

iPhone 17: Retro flat-edge design, thinner and lighter than the previous model.
iPhone 17 Pro & Pro Max: New camera plateau design, eliminating the older raised bump. Adopt Aluminium Chassis for more Solid and better Heat Dissipation.
iPhone Air: This is probably the star of the show in regards to its 5.6 mm thick design and by far the thinnest iPhone ever. It’s made from titanium, with Ceramic Shield 2 on the front and back for extra durability.

👉 If you need a phone that looks like it’s from the future and feels like nothing in your hand, iPhone Air is without equal.

🔥 Display: Brighter, Faster, Smoother

All 2025 iPhones now feature:

ProMotion 120Hz adaptive refresh rate
Always-On Display
Higher peak brightness for improved daylight viewing

Both the Pro and the Pro Max have the best, brightest panels that caters to gamers and content-creators.

👉 The iPhone 17 is more than good enough for armchair users, but if you love cinematic images the Pro Max wins.

⚡ Performance: A19 vs A19 Pro

iPhone 17: The iPhone 17 runs on Apple’s new A19 chip, built for faster multitasking, gaming, and everyday use.
iPhone 17 Pro, Pro Max & Air: Powered by a stronger A19 Pro chip for heavy duty activities including 4K video editing, quality gaming and AR apps.

👉 Most users would agree that the A19 is lightning fast. But the Pro models, or Air, are what power users and gamers will want for more headroom.

📸 Cameras: Pro-Level Upgrades

iPhone 17: Good 48MP Fusion rear camera and upgraded selfie shooter.
iPhone 17 Pro & Pro Max: For the creatives. They come with 48MP sensors and high-end film-making tools like ProRes RAW, as well as gunlock support. The Pro Max is known to be equipped with the best zoom lens available in the 17 series.
iPhone Air: It, too, receives a 48MP array but gains a 18MP front-facing camera with Center Stage for FaceTime and video calls.

👉 If taking photos and videos is the most important thing to you, then you’ll want an iPhone 17 Pro Max.

🔋 Battery Life & Cooling

iPhone 17: Battery that lasts all day, with increased efficiency.
iPhone 17 Pro & Pro Max: Vapour chamber cooling and even more refined A19 Pro chip, offering a huge leap in battery life.
iPhone Air: It’s super thin, yes, but Apple is promising “all-day” battery life and doesn’t have as much battery in the body as the Pro models.

👉 If you’re going to be running marathons, then the Pro Max is its clear choice.

💵 Pricing & Storage

iPhone 17: Starting at $799 (256GB base).
iPhone Air: Starts at $999.
iPhone 17 Pro: Starting at $1,099.
iPhone 17 Pro Max: Starting at $1,199 (up to 2TB of storage).

👉 All models now start at 256GB, so you have more room out of the box.

🏆 Winner: Which iPhone 2025 is the Best for You?

iPhone 17 → Best bang for your buck iPhone on the market if you’re not looking for a power-beast.
iPhone Air → Those who appreciate style, and desire the thinnest/lightest iPhone yet.
iPhone 17 Pro → For power users that need Pro-level performance and features, but don't want the extra size.
iPhone 17 Pro Max → For creators, professionals and hardcore users who require the best of the best when it comes to all things iPhone.

✅ Final Thoughts

There’s an iPhone for every type of user in Apple’s 2025 line-up. One of these four iPhones will likely be your preference, depending on which kind of user you are: Someone who values design, someone who loves powerful hardware or one of the other extremes (cameras and battery life).

If you’re still struggling to make the decision, take into account the top considerations — style, performance or all-day battery life — and you’ll be able to ascertain which iPhone 17 is right for your personal needs.
