The new iPhone 17 hits lowest price to date

Apple’s iPhone 17 has been one of the most talked about phones of the year since its launch in September. Many have looked for it in stores without pressing “buy” because the price was fixed for a long time.

Now something is finally happening, making it more interesting for those who want the latest iPhone without jumping on the Pro models.

The price was 1,000 euro at the start of sales in the majority of Europe, and the price has been stable since September, but now the first chains are reporting a clear drop.

At the time of writing, the iPhone 17 can be purchased for 940 euro, and it is at Power that the new price applies.

The difference of 60 euro corresponds to a price drop of approximately 6.5 percent, which is unusually fast for a brand new iPhone generation.

It makes a difference for those buyers who have been waiting for a concrete offer instead of choosing an older model on sale.

New hardware and larger screen

The iPhone 17 retains the familiar Apple design with straight edges and glass on both sides. The phone features a 6.3-inch OLED display with 120Hz ProMotion, which for the first time has been moved down to the regular iPhone and not just the Pro series.

The display has always-on functionality and high brightness so it can be read clearly outdoors. Beneath the screen is Apple’s A19 chip, which provides more power for games, camera and AI functions.

The model comes with 8GB of RAM and starts at 256GB of storage, and there’s also a 512GB version for those who store a lot of photos and videos.

Apple has also given it Wi-Fi 7 and Bluetooth 6.0, so the phone is ready for faster wireless connections in the coming years.

The camera system consists of two 48 megapixel sensors on the back, a main lens and an ultra-wide angle that can deliver 12 megapixel images with optical quality at 2x zoom. On the front is an 18 megapixel camera that can adjust the view according to how many people are in the frame.

According to multiple reputable websites, the phone is IP68 certified with water and dust resistance, and it supports MagSafe, Qi 2 and fast charging via USB-C, so it works with most existing accessories.

Is this the time to act?

The question is whether the 940 euro iPhone 17 is the right time to jump on board. For many, the answer will be yes, because it’s still Apple’s latest standard model with full access to the current iOS version and the latest security features.

Apple has also increased its focus on protection against advanced spyware with new hardware and software defenses in the A19 platform, which appeals to those who prioritize security.

With its lighter weight and narrower screen edges, the phone feels like a slightly lighter and more modern version of the iPhones of recent years.
