iPhone 17: the sensible choice
It starts with 256GB, which means you are no longer forced to pay extra just for usable storage. It is the cheapest of the group, and for most people it is enough phone.
iPhone Air: the design choice
The Air is the thinnest and lightest iPhone. You pay more than for the standard iPhone 17, and the trade-off is a simpler camera set-up. Choose it if you want a light phone that looks different.
iPhone 17 Pro: the power choice
The Pro is for people who shoot a lot of photos and video, use demanding apps or want the best performance. It costs R7,800 more than the iPhone 17 at launch.
