Your iPhone 17 Explained

Buttons & Ports • The latest iPhones have a very similar control layout. They all have Face ID, whether it’s in a notch or the Dynamic Island in the latest iPhones, they all have a side button, volume controls and a Lightning port.

Let’s take a look at the new iOS 26 Home screen.

The Lock Screen • The iPhone’s Lock screen is what’s shown when your iPhone goes into lock mode. To open it, you use Face ID or your passcode. But there’s a lot you can do with your...
