The iPhone 17 is the regular model of Apple’s current iPhone range, and it is the one most people should look at first. It has a 6.3-inch OLED screen that now goes up to 120 Hz, which makes scrolling and games feel smoother than on older base iPhones. It also keeps the Always-On display.
Inside is the A19 chip. It starts at 256 GB of storage, so there is no tiny 128 GB option to worry about. The rear camera setup has a 48 MP main camera, a 12 MP 2x telephoto and a 48 MP ultra wide, and the 18 MP front camera is a good fit for video calls.
Apple says video playback can last up to 30 hours. Charging is by USB-C, with MagSafe and Qi2 wireless charging up to 25 W.
Who it is for: people who want a long-lasting, easy-to-use phone and do not need the Pro camera extras. What to think about: the rupee price starts at ₹99,900 for 256 GB, so check offers on Amazon.in before you buy. If you want a thinner phone, see the iPhone Air. If you prefer Android, look at the Samsung Galaxy S26.
