Apple · released 19 September 2025

Apple iPhone 17

The standard iPhone finally gets a 120Hz display and starts at 256 GB, making it the sensible baseline in Apple's 2025 range.

UK launch price: from £799. That is context, not the price we use to judge a current deal.

Our take

A stronger standard iPhone than previous generations, but the price still needs comparing with discounted Pro models and Android flagships.
