In this article, we will discuss the upcoming iPhone 17’s design, performance, camera features, including the official iPhone 17 price in Nepal. Also, we will help you with the decision whether it’s time to upgrade by contrasting it with iPhone 16 price in Nepal and iPhone 15 price in Nepal.
Overview
The iPhone 17 will be the base model of Apple’s latest generation alongside iPhone 17 Plus, 17 Pro, and 17 Pro Max. It will be globally launched in September 2025. This generation focuses more on elevating the user experience rather than incremental changes.
What stands out the most? The Dynamic Island has been removed, and now there is a fully edge-to-edge display with in-display Face ID and an under-display camera. All this, along with the new A19 chip, more RAM, and advanced AI features in iOS 19, makes the iPhone 17 feel more like a next-generation device.
Design and Display
Apple has put a lot of effort into changing the iPhone 17’s design. There are no more bezels, no more notch, and even the Dynamic Island has been substituted for a full screen interface. Face ID works seamlessly under the display for a Face ID never interfering with viewing.
The iPhone 17 will have 6.1 inch OLED Super Retina XDR featuring 120Hz ProMotion, HDR10, Dolby Vision and peak brightness of 2500 nits. This is a noticeable upgrade from the 60hz panel on the iphone 15 and even better than the standard iphone 16’s display.
In terms of build, the iPhone 17 will still feature the slim aluminum frame and frosted glass back which is fingerprint resistant and feels premium to hold. It may come in five colors; Midnight Black, Starlight, Mist Blue, Crimson Red and Pastel Purple.
