Fone4u Prepares for iPhone 17 Series: iPhone 17 vs iPhone 17 Pro

Dublin, Ireland – August 21, 2025 – Ahead of Apple's highly anticipated iPhone 17 series release around mid-September, fone4u.ie, Ireland's favorite hub for the latest smartphones, accessories, and repairs, prepares to help its customers grasp the most significant differences between the iPhone 17 and iPhone 17 Pro.

Closing the Gap: iPhone 17 to Get Pro-Grade Features

Apple is, for the first time, going to equip the base iPhone 17 with ProMotion 120 Hz screens and give users the same silky-smooth scrolling and responsiveness that they currently get in the Pro series. Both will have 6.3-inch OLED displays but will likely stretch further with LTPO technology, Always-On Display, and greater brightness efficiency.

Where the iPhone 17 Pro Still Reigns Supreme

With even the base updates, the Pro line will still enjoy a premium position:

Elegant Cooling: The Pro will probably feature a vapor chamber cooling system, perfect for gaming and heavy usage.

Camera Muscle: The regular iPhone 17 will feature a dual-lens rear camera and a 24 MP front-facing camera, while the Pro features a 48 MP triple setup, improved telephoto zoom, and possibly 8K video recording.

Battery Life: The Pro Max model is rumored to be thicker to house a larger battery in order to deliver longer all-day runtime than standard models.

Premium Build: A fresh half-aluminum frame with a horizontal camera bar is expected for the Pro, giving it a distinct look.

Performance: The Apple iPhone 17 will carry the A19 chip with 8GB RAM, while the Pro carries the A19 Pro chip and 12GB RAM, making it the flagship powerhouse of the series.

Projected Release Timeline

According to industry leaks:

- Apple Event Date: Tuesday, September 9, 2025

- Pre-orders Start: Friday, September 12, 2025

- In-Store Availability: From Friday, 19th September, to 20th September, 2025

fone4u.ie will carry the new models as and when they are available in Ireland, with highly skilled staff on hand to help customers choose the correct iPhone to meet their needs.
