Apple’s iPhone 17 range has something for everyone — from creators and power users to those who just want a beautifully made phone that runs smoothly every day.
If you’re thinking about upgrading (or making the switch to refurbished), here’s a quick, honest breakdown of each model — what’s new, what’s different, and which one fits your lifestyle best.
iPhone 17 – The Everyday All-Rounder
If you want premium Apple performance without paying Pro prices, the iPhone 17 hits the sweet spot.
It features a 6.3″ Super Retina XDR display with ProMotion 120 Hz for silky-smooth scrolling, and a 48 MP Dual Fusion camera for detailed photos and 4K video.
Powered by the A19 chip with Apple Intelligence, it’s fast, responsive and future-ready.
For most users, this is the model that offers the best balance between performance, battery life, and price.
Best for: Everyday users who want modern iPhone power, display brilliance, and great value.
iPhone 17 Pro – Performance Meets Refinement
The iPhone 17 Pro takes everything great about the iPhone 17 and pushes it up a level.
You get a Triple 48 MP Pro Fusion camera system, a brighter display, and the A19 Pro chip, giving you faster processing and even smoother multitasking.
It’s ideal for creators, professionals, or anyone who wants flagship-level power in a more manageable size than the Pro Max.
Best for: Creators, professionals, and multitaskers who want a premium experience without going extra-large.
iPhone 17 Pro Max – The Powerhouse
If you like your phone big, bold, and built for everything, the iPhone 17 Pro Max is it.
With a 6.9″ Super Retina XDR OLED, it’s the largest display in the range — perfect for streaming, gaming, and photo editing.
You’ll also get the best camera setup (including a 5× telephoto zoom lens), the longest battery life, and up to 2 TB of storage for all your media and projects.
It’s a serious bit of kit — and refurbished, it’s far more affordable than buying new.
Best for: Power users, media lovers, and those who want the absolute top-tier iPhone experience.
iPhone Air – The Lightweight Performer
New to the lineup, the iPhone Air offers a refreshing balance between performance and portability.
It’s slim, ultra-light, and still packs a Super Retina XDR display and A19 Pro chip, meaning you’re not giving up power for size.
Think of it as the “everyday luxury” iPhone — elegant, efficient, and perfect for those who value comfort and simplicity.
Best for: Minimalists, commuters, and anyone who wants a powerful iPhone that feels feather-light.
