What CompareTab says about Apple iPhone 17 Pro vs Apple iPhone SE
Apple iPhone 17 Pro offers more RAM, storage, battery capacity and a smoother display than iPhone SE, with 12 GB of RAM versus 2 GB, 256 GB of storage versus 16 GB, a 3988 mAh battery versus 1624 mAh, and a 120 Hz display instead of 60 Hz. It also adds a higher-resolution rear camera (48 MP versus 12 MP), optical image stabilization on the main camera, an ultrawide rear camera, and 40W charging. Apple iPhone SE, however, is around $700 cheaper, lighter at 113 g versus 206 g, and thinner at 7.6 mm versus 8.75 mm. The choice comes down to iPhone 17 Pro’s extra RAM, storage, faster charging, battery capacity, and smoother display versus iPhone SE’s lower price and lighter, thinner build.
