The new iPhones are here, and based on what we have seen, it looks like a notable upgrade from its predecessor. The bold orange colour on the iPhone 17 Pro highlights the degree of overall upgrades, whereas the regular iPhone 17 and the new iPhone Air showcase Apple’s smart new vision for the non-Pro lineup. With a revised price tag, the new iPhone 17 range seems to be an all-around upgrade. But what do people think about it?
Hours after the new iPhones were revealed to the world, social media couldn’t keep calm. While some were excited to see the new changes made to the iPhone 17 generation, others came up with criticism. While some were sharing their plans to trade in their existing iPhones for the newest Pro phone, others raised questions about the design irregularities in the iPhone Air.
Even Sam Altman couldn’t help but share his view on the latest iPhones, confirming that Tim Cook’s newest offerings get the OpenAI chief’s approval. No word, however, on whether OpenAI stays involved with Apple’s smart features on these devices.
Hence, without further ado, let’s take a quick look at how the internet reacts to the iPhone 17, iPhone Air, iPhone 17 Pro and iPhone 17 Pro Max.

iPhone 17 series details at a glance
The iPhone 17 series debuted last night with a host of new features and upgrades, along with inflated price tags. The iPhone 17 brings the power of the A19 chip, an upgraded dual 48MP camera system at the back with a macro camera built in, a 120Hz ProMotion OLED display and superior battery life.
The iPhone 17 Pro and iPhone 17 Pro Max bring along the more powerful A19 Pro chip, an all-new aluminium unibody design with advanced antenna layout, a bigger capacity battery, a dedicated 48MP telephoto camera, a new 18MP front camera unit and advanced video recording features for professionals.
The iPhone Air, which conveniently drops the ‘iPhone 17’ moniker, is all about its 5.6mm thin body. The packaging of the device is such that the pill-shaped camera hump houses the entire logic board along with the 48MP single camera lens, with the rest of the body only holding the display and battery. The A19 Pro chip powers the iPhone Air and the 6.6-inch OLED display also gets 120Hz refresh rate panel.
