Apple iPhone 17 Pro: Price, Specs, and Cheapest Plans

Many carriers offer the new iPhone 17 Pro on a plan.

No matter which telco you go with, you'll get to choose between a 24-month plan or a 36-month plan. A 36-month plan will always be cheaper, but it means you're paying your phone off over a longer period of time. A 24-month plan is more expensive, but you'll own your Apple iPhone 17 Pro quicker.

Apple might have introduced a more affordable option in the form of the iPhone 16e, but those expecting a price cut when it comes to the company's latest flagship lineup are probably going to be disappointed. 

Here's a side-by-side breakdown of the iPhone 17 price range:

The iPhone 17 Pro and Pro Max are essentially the same phone, separated by display size (6.3 inches vs 6.7). This year, the biggest improvement is probably the telephoto lenses, but there's also a bold new look and the usual performance enhancements.

While the standard iPhone 17 has a few improvements over its predecessor, the differences between this year's iPhone 17 Pro and last year's iPhone 16 Pro are a bit more slight. Like the latter, the new device comes with a 6.3-inch Super XDR OLED display with a 120Hz refresh rate. That screen also comes with Ceramic Shield 2, which is said to offer three times as much protection as its predecessor, plus a new anti-reflective coating.

If you'd prefer a larger screen, that's where the iPhone 17 Pro Max comes in. This device is built around a 6.9-inch Super XDR OLED screen clocked at 120Hz. 

Those who keep score already likely know what's going on under the hood with the iPhone 17 Pro. This year's pint-sized and pro-grade iPhone comes equipped with Apple's new A19 Pro processor. That's the same silicon found in the Pro Max and the new iPhone Air.

As usual, the device comes in several different configurations. The cheapest ships with  with 256GB while the most expensive tops out at 1TB. 

As for battery life and RAM, we'll have to wait until the iPhone 17 Pro is out in the wild. Apple typically doesn't disclose these particular specs so we'll have to wait for a teardown to find out just how this aspect of the device compares.

At a glance, the camera configuration found on the Apple iPhone 17 Pro is likely to be fairly familiar to those who spent any time with the iPhone 16 Pro.

That isn't to say there aren't any hardware tweaks though. Picking up where the 12MP telephoto lens on last year's models left off, the iPhone 17 Pro comes armed with a 48MP telephoto lens that promises to offer up to 8x zoom and an upgraded 18MP "Center Stage" selfie camera.

Yes, the Apple iPhone 17 Pro comes with 5G connectivity on par with what you can find in the rest of the iPhone lineup. Of course, you'll need to be located in an area with 5G coverage in order to actually make use of this feature. To see where is 5G available, use the coverage map below.
