Logic

The iPhone 17 Pro and Pro Max use the new Apple A19 Pro system-on-chip. It incorporates the new Apple-designed N1 networking chip, part of a trend by Apple to design their own support chips. [6] The iPhone 17 Pro comes with 12GB of RAM.

Display

The Pro has a 6.3" display and the Pro Max has a 6.9" display.

Camera

The camera layout was redesigned for the first time since the iPhone 11 Pro, featuring a large horizontal camera bump and an 8x telephoto camera lens, instead of the previously used 5x; as a result, the iPhone 17 Pro has the longest telephoto lens on any iPhone.

The front camera uses a 18MP Centre Stage camera with Dual Capture, which allows the front camera to be used in any orientation and create either a landscape, or portrait photo, based on who's in the shot. [7]

Security

Starting with all iPhone 17 models and iPhone Air, devices based on the A19 and A19 Pro include Memory Integrity Enforcement (MIE). [8] [9] MIE is an always-on, hardware-and-OS, memory-safety defense that uses Apple's secure memory allocators, Enhanced Memory Tagging Extension (EMTE) in synchronous mode, and Tag Confidentiality Enforcement policies. [8] By default, MIE hardens key attack surfaces including the kernel and over 70 userland processes while preserving performance. [8] Apple states that MIE targets mercenary spyware by making end-to-end exploit chains significantly more expensive and difficult to develop and maintain. [8]
