Apple has revealed the iPhone 17 Pro and iPhone 17 Pro Max at its September event, introducing a fresh design, new chipsets, and big camera improvements.

The Pro models now feature a full-width rear camera module and a brushed aluminum unibody for better cooling. Both phones include a 48MP telephoto lens with 8x optical zoom, an upgraded 18MP front camera, and support for advanced video features such as ProRes RAW.

Inside, Apple’s new A19 Pro chip promises «MacBook Pro-level» performance, paired with in-house Wi-Fi 7 (N1) and C1X modem technology for faster, more reliable connections. A vapor chamber cooling system helps keep performance steady during intensive use.

Battery life also sees a boost, with the iPhone 17 Pro Max offering the longest runtime ever on an iPhone—up to 39 hours of video playback. New colors include Silver, Deep Blue, and Cosmic Orange.

Pricing starts at $1,099 for the iPhone 17 Pro and $1,199 for the Pro Max, with storage up to 2TB. Pre-orders open September 12, with shipping from September 19.

Kursiv Uzbekistan also reports that Lego has launched its most ambitious Star Wars set to date: a 9,023-piece Death Star model that towers over 2 feet tall and comes with a record-breaking 38 minifigures.
