Our take on the Apple iPhone 17 5G 256 GB

The iPhone 17 is Apple's mainstream 2025 phone, with a 6.3-inch OLED screen, the A19 chip and a 48MP main camera. It adds a 120Hz ProMotion display and 256GB base storage, which were Pro-only features before. It also brings an 18MP front camera, Wi-Fi 7 and Bluetooth 6.0. It suits iPhone owners due for an upgrade who want a smooth screen and plenty of storage without moving to a Pro model; against the Pro it gives up the telephoto lens and the titanium build.

Questions and answers

Is the iPhone 17 worth it over the iPhone 16?
Yes if you want the 120Hz screen and 256GB base storage, which the 16 lacks. If you already own a 16, the camera and chip gains are modest.
Does the iPhone 17 have a 120Hz display?
Yes. The 6.3-inch OLED runs at up to 120Hz with ProMotion, a first for a standard iPhone.
How is the battery life?
Most owners get through a full day of normal use. Heavy camera, gaming or hotspot use drains it faster, and the battery is not user-replaceable.
What is in the box?
The phone and a USB-C cable. Apple no longer includes a charging brick or headphones.
Does it take a physical SIM?
Yes. It supports Nano-SIM and eSIM, so you can use a physical card or set up an eSIM.
How does it compare with the iPhone 17 Pro?
The Pro adds a telephoto lens and a titanium body. The standard 17 keeps the 120Hz screen, the A19 chip and 256GB storage, so it covers most everyday use for less.

At Best Buy, for $929.99, as of our latest check.
