Description:
Apple has launched the iPhone 17 with some core upgrades

FULL STORY
======================================================================

In one of the biggest Apple events of the year, the house that Steve Jobs 
built revealed the iPhone 17 series, with the standard model getting a solid 
refresh to appeal to most people and aim for a spot on our best phones list. 

And while it's not enormously different to its predecessor the iPhone 16, 
there are more upgrades here than meet the eyes; not least of all is the 
standard iphone finally has a 120Hz display. 

So let's get into them. 

 This news has just broken so I'll be updating this article as I find out 
more... Get to the point !20Hz ProMotion display A19 chip New 48MP main

As is always the case with new iPhones, the iPhone 17 has got a chipset 
upgrade with the A19. 

And as you might expect there's a boost in CPU and GPU power; the previous 
iPhone was no slouch so I don't feel it needed a big CPU boost, but the 
increase in graphics should help some of the more advanced games iOS offers, 
like Sniper Elite 4 and Hitman World of Assassination , run smoother. 

The CPU has six cores with two performance cores and four efficiency cores. 
The 5-core GPU has support for hardware-accelerated ray tracing, mesh shading 
and MetalFX Upscaling. 

The chip is also more capable at handling AI workloads with its boosted 
16-core Neural Engine, so we can expect snappier Apple Intelligence tools.
