Phone 17 Series vs iPhone 16 Series – what’s new?
The iPhone 17 Series is taking the baton from last year’s iPhone 16 Series with some notable upgrades. The new A19 and A19 Pro chips offer a boost in speed and performance, with faster cooling. The camera system is also improved, with the Pro and Pro Max 17 models featuring a top-of-the-line 18MP Center Stage front camera, 48MP Dual Fusion Main, and 48MP Fusion Ultra Wide camera. And let’s not forget that this series features the thinnest iPhone ever made.
Add to this better battery life across the board, faster wired charging, and a more robust Ceramic Sheild 2 screen, and you can see how the 17 Series is holding its own.
Here’s how the specs of each iPhone 17 model differ:

Spotlight: iPhone Air
The all-new iPhone Air weighs just 165 grams, and is only 5.6mm thick. It’s the thinnest iPhone ever, even with a large, immersive 6.5inch display[1] and the A19 Pro chip, the most powerful iPhone chip yet. It’s also incredibly strong, giving it the perfect combination of lightness, processing power, and durability.
This makes iPhone Air a great choice for field teams, warehouse workers, or fleets who work on the go, and need reliable devices with the latest tech without added bulk or weight.
eSIM compatibility for simple scalability
All iPhone 17 models support eSIM, with iPhone Air being eSIM only. Using an eSIM allows you to get your business mobile phone(s) up and running more quickly. This is great for setting up larger teams fast, onboarding remote employees, and easier activation of multiple devices with no need to distribute physical SIM cards.
- Increased business security should your phone get lost or stolen: an eSIM can’t be removed or tampered with.
- Dual SIM functionality, allowing you to have more than one number – business and personal – on the same device.
