Apple Introduces Its Thinnest and Most Powerful iPhone Ever
On September 9, American tech giant Apple held its annual event where it officially unveiled the next generation of iPhones — the iPhone 17 Pro, iPhone 17 Pro Max, and iPhone 17 Air.
All three models are powered by Apple’s newest chip, the A19 Pro, built using TSMC’s advanced 3-nanometer technology. According to Apple, the iPhone 17 Pro is the most powerful iPhone in the company’s history.
Key Features:
