Closing the Gap With SamsungThe iPhone 17 will face tough competition from the Samsung Galaxy S25, which already feels like a more advanced phone than last year’s iPhone 16. A Stronger Display Is a MustOne of the biggest areas Apple needs to improve is the display, or the iPhone 17 series will struggle to feel modern. Well, Apple did not disappoint as the iPhone 17 comes with a 120Hz screen. Recall that two devices in the iPhone 16 series, the iPhone 16 and iPhone 16 Plus, are still using a 60Hz screen. With the smoother screen now extending to the iPhone 17, the iPhone 17 series will go on to compete head-to-head with the Galaxy S25 series.
