As anticipated, Apple unveiled the iPhone 17, iPhone 17 Pro, and iPhone 17 Pro Max models at its somewhat less-than-‘Awe Dropping’ event. The newly introduced iPhone series features numerous advancements, such as upgraded specifications, 120 Hz displays for all models, and an eye-catching new orange hue. Additionally, the price of the new iPhones did not see major increases, which is not always a given in today’s tariff-driven environment.
