And after a long wait (and a lot of grumbling), the base iPhone 17 finally gets a 120Hz refresh rate.
Under the hood, Apple’s new A19 chip is more powerful and more energy-efficient, particularly when combined with Apple Intelligence. If you're upgrading from an older iPhone, you'll see a huge jump in speed and better gaming performance courtesy of ProMotion.
