The iPhone 17 Pro is more powerful than the standard iPhone 17, but not as big as the iPhone 17 Pro Max. Because of its more advanced camera and superior processor, it’s the ideal handset for anyone looking for better smartphone photographs and performance without stepping up to the gargantuan iPhone 17 Pro Max.
In order to see what the iPhone 17 Pro can really do, you’re going to need a decent amount of mobile data. Once you’ve worked out the right amount for you and how much you can afford to pay, you can explore a range of deals from providers we work with, such as Vodafone, Sky Mobile, Three Mobile, O2, Tesco Mobile and iD Mobile.
6.3-inch OLED, ProMotion 120Hz, slimmer bezels
Triple 48MP lenses
18MP Selfie camera
The iPhone 17 Pro was announced on September 9, 2025. Pre-orders started on September 12, and the product shipped on September 19.
The 256GB model costs £1,099, the 512GB is £1,299 and the 1TB £1,499.
The iPhone 17 Pro has three rear 48MP cameras: a 48MP Fusion Main, a 48MP Fusion Ultra Wide, and a 48MP Fusion Telephoto. If previous iPhone Pro models are any indication, these should combine to produce stunning photographs.
It has a greater optical zoom than its predecessor (up to 8x) and new image stabilisation technologies. Which should make for closer-up zoom photos and more stable videos and snaps.
The new telephoto camera’s sensor is 56 per cent larger than the previous generation, meaning sharper images in bright light and more detailed low-light shots. A new Bright style brightens skin tones and makes for more brilliant colours.
There’s also a new Centre Stage front-facing camera that lets you shoot in portrait or landscape without adjusting the angle of your phone. For group selfies, it uses AI to expand the field of view and include everyone in the shot. You can also shoot using the front and rear camera simultaneously—so you can show someone something on a video call without having to turn your phone around.
The iPhone 17 Pro has Apple Intelligence on board. This feature is present in almost every feature of the phone, from composing text messages, correspondence, and emails to photo editing and note-taking.
It also gains some new AI features courtesy of iOS 26, the latest version of Apple’s mobile operating system. These include the ability to ‘hold’ your place in a phone queue for customer services and then alert you when it’s your turn to speak. It can screen your calls, asking anyone calling from an unknown number why they are calling and using AI to decide whether to let them through or not.
The iPhone 17 Pro has a more advanced camera and longer battery life than the standard iPhone 17.
The standard 17 lacks the telephoto camera, and so can’t zoom in as close as the 17 Pro. It can’t record videos at as high a frame rate as the Pro, and the microphone is of a lower quality for recording audio during videos. The iPhone 17 Pro also lasts an hour longer for video playback (31 hours versus 30).
The 17 Pro has a more advanced processor too, and it comes in a 1TB option (the iPhone 17 maxes out at 512GB). The two phones come in different colour options, and the Pro has a Ceramic Shield back and aluminium unibody (rather than just an aluminium frame) for better protection.
A new camera bump on the back and new colour schemes (notably the Cosmic Orange) make the iPhone 17 Pro stand out.
The 6.3-inch screen is protected by Ceramic Shield 2, with a new coating for 3x better scratch resistance and improved anti-reflection to reduce glare and make it easier to see in bright sun. The 3,000 nits peak brightness—the highest ever on an iPhone—also helps. Ceramic Shield features on the back of the device, too, making it four times harder-wearing than the previous model.
The iPhone 17 Pro gives you up to 31 hours of video playback before needing a recharge. That’s certainly impressive, though not as much as the iPhone 17 Pro Max, which lasts 37 hours.

Yes. It supports both MagSafe and Qi wireless charging.
The iPhone 17 Pro has an IP68 water- and dust-resistance rating. That means it can survive being submerged in up to 6m of water for up to 30 minutes.
The iPhone 17 Pro comes in three colours: Cosmic Orange, Deep Blue and Silver.
The iPhone 17 Pro comes in three storage options: 256GB (£1,099), 512GB (£1,299) and 1TB (£1,499).
No, the iPhone 17 Pro doesn’t have a headphone jack, so you’ll need wireless headphones or a USB-C to 3.5mm headphone adapter in order to use ‘standard’ headphones.
