Pros and cons
Pros
- ProMotion up to 120Hz and Always-On; the iPhone 16 has neither
- Up to 30 hours of video playback, 8 hours more than the iPhone 16
- 48MP Ultra Wide camera; the iPhone 16 has a 12MP one
- Starts at 256GB, double the iPhone 16's 128GB
- 18MP Center Stage front camera takes landscape selfies with the phone held upright
Cons
- eSIM only in the UAE, where the iPhone 16 takes a nano-SIM
- No Telephoto camera: zoom is 2x optical quality, against 8x on the 17 Pro
- USB 2 at up to 480Mb/s; the 17 Pro has USB 3 at up to 10Gb/s
Our verdict
The iPhone 17 closes most of the gap to the Pro: a 120Hz ProMotion screen with Always-On, a 48MP Ultra Wide, an 18MP front camera, 256GB to start and up to 30 hours of video playback. For most people it is the iPhone to buy from the 17 line.
Pay for the 17 Pro if you want the 8x Telephoto, USB 3 transfers or the extra battery. If you need a physical SIM card, the iPhone 16 sold in the UAE still takes one.

iPhone 17 price guide
What the iPhone 17 costs in the UAE
Across the 16 stores we track, the iPhone 17 sells for between AED 2,600 and AED 4,744. That spread covers 2 storage options, sealed new and pre-owned stock and 5 colours, so the headline price is rarely the price of the exact model you want. The lowest price, AED 2,600, is for a 256GB Refurbished unit at BSM PHONES.
New or pre-owned?
Sealed new starts at AED 3,250 at iMax for the 256GB. Pre-owned stock undercuts it by up to 23%: on the 512GB you would pay AED 2,950 instead of AED 3,850, a saving of AED 900. A gap that size is worth having if the condition and warranty suit you; check both before you compare prices.
Which storage is the best value?
At the lowest sealed new price for each size, the 256GB starts at AED 3,250. Going from 256GB to 512GB adds AED 600.

Pre-owned units are graded Original Parts, Refurbished or Condition Unclear, by what the store states. For the iPhone 17, Original Parts starts at AED 3,199 and Refurbished starts at AED 2,600. Each step up the scale costs more, as you would expect. Most of the difference between conditions is cosmetic and battery health; see what each condition allows on our conditions page.
