iPhone 17 Pro and iPhone 17 Pro Max Features and Specifications:

The iPhone 17 Pro models have returned to an aluminum build, which means this year’s models will not feature the titanium body seen in the iPhone 15 Pro and iPhone 16 Pro models. On the other hand, the new member of the lineup, iPhone 17 Air, gets a titanium body. Apple has moved to a unibody design with a full-width camera plateau on the back, completing the new design.
