How to read this comparison
- Manufacturer facts for the exact models shown. Not a quality rating or a test result.
- “Different” means the known values differ, not that one is better.
- Missing or conflicting evidence is marked and never counts as a difference. Source chips hold each fact’s sources and conditions.
Not verified for either phone, so not charted: Pixel density, Native zoom. Missing evidence is not a difference.

Manufacturer up-to claim, not measured mixed-use battery life. All battery claims depend on network configuration and many other factors; actual results will vary. Battery has limited recharge cycles and may eventually need to be replaced. Battery life and charge cycles vary by use and settings. See apple.com/uk/batteries and apple.com/uk/iphone/battery.html for more information. MagSafe wireless charging up to 25W with 30W power adapter or higher. Testing conducted by Apple in July 2025 using pre‑production iPhone 17 units and software, USB‑C Charge Cable with Apple 40W Dynamic Power Adapter with 60W Max (Model A3351) and Apple MagSafe Chargers (1‑metre Model A3502 and 2‑metre Model A3503) with Apple 30W USB‑C Power Adapter (Model A2164) or Apple 40W Dynamic Power Adapter with 60W Max (Model A3351). Fast‑charge testing conducted with drained iPhone units. Times measured from the appearance of the Apple logo as the unit started up. Charge time varies with adapter, settings, usage and environmental factors; actual results will vary.
