iPhone 17 Pro Specifications: Camera Innovation, A19 Pro Performance, and Long-lasting Battery

Aluminum unibody casing, increased internal space, and better thermal management are all made to maximize performance, battery capacity, and durability.

Design & thermal

Aluminum unibody casing results from heat processing that places structure and heat management as the foundation of the design.

Laser-welded vapor chamber works together with the unibody structure to channel heat from the A19 Pro chip, enabling higher sustained performance for heavy tasks like gaming and media processing.
