New iPhone 17

For years, Android users have had one main complaint about iPhones. They said the screens were not as fast, not as bright, and not as exciting. The iPhone 17 might finally change that, and it could make some Android fans think twice.

The iPhone 17 comes with a 6.3-inch Super Retina XDR display with ProMotion technology and a 120Hz refresh rate. It has very thin bezels, an anti-reflective coating, and can reach a peak brightness of 3,000 nits. This makes the screen large, clear, and easy to read even in bright sunlight. Apple has also added an Always-On display so you can see important information without unlocking the phone.

Inside, the iPhone 17 runs on Apple’s A19 chip and starts with 256GB of storage. That is plenty of space for apps, photos, and videos. The front camera is 18MP with auto-rotation, which should make selfies and video calls look sharper. The rest of the camera system continues to focus on high-resolution photos and advanced photography features.

The phone starts at Rs 82,900, which is competitive for the technology it offers. With its new display and other features, Apple has addressed one of the oldest complaints from Android users.

If you have avoided iPhones because of the screen, the iPhone 17 might make you reconsider. Its high refresh rate, bright display, thin bezels, and Always-On feature bring it on par with, or even ahead of, many Android phones. For Android users who have long held onto that one complaint, the iPhone 17 removes that reason to hesitate and gives them something new to think about.
