iPhone 17, 17 Pro, 17 Pro Max and iPhone Air: resolution and screenshot sizes

Four new phones, three pixel sizes, and one of them is brand new. The arithmetic that produces them, and the upload slot each one lands in.

Three sizes, and one of them is new

Every iPhone screenshot is the screen measured in points multiplied by the device's scale factor. Layout happens in points; the file you export is in pixels. Nothing about the 2025 line-up changes that, but it does add a width nobody had seen before.

Two of these you already had. The 17 Pro Max repeats the 16 Pro Max exactly, and the 17 Pro repeats the 16 Pro: same panels, same numbers. The iPhone 18 Pro and 18 Pro Max of September 2026 repeat them again: 402 × 874 and 440 × 956 pt, in the same two slots. The base iPhone 17 is the interesting one: it moved up to the Pro's 402 pt width, so the standard model and the Pro model now export at the same size for the first time.

The iPhone Air is its own thing

420 × 912 pt at @3× gives 1260 × 2736, and no previous iPhone produced that file. It is not a 6.7-inch panel with a new name; it is a genuinely new geometry sitting between the 6.3-inch phones and the Max.

This matters more than it looks. A team that keeps a folder of exports per device now has a folder that cannot be filled by resizing anything else without resampling. If the Air is a device you care about, it needs its own render, not an enlargement of a 1206 px image.

Where each size lands in App Store Connect

Upload slots are grouped by display class, and a class accepts any one of its listed sizes. The 17 line spreads across two of them:

Since October 2026 the class that matters is the 6.3-inch one, which Apple now calls “iPhone with Dynamic Island (medium display)”: it is the set Apple requires, and the 17 and 17 Pro shoot it natively at 1206 × 2622. Add a 6.9-inch set, from the 17 Pro Max or the Air, for the largest phones: Apple fills the 6.9 and 6.5-inch slots only from each other.

The trap: a class that no longer exists

If you are working from notes written a couple of years ago, you may be looking for a 6.7-inch slot. There isn't one any more: it was folded into 6.9. The phones it used to cover, the 15 Plus and the 14 Pro Max among them, are now listed under 6.9 alongside the 17 Pro Max.

This is the part of the specification that actually moves. The arithmetic does not: a 440 pt screen at 3× is 1320 px whatever Apple decides to call the class it belongs to. The names change, the multiplication doesn't, which is why it is worth knowing the multiplication. In October 2026 Apple dropped the diagonals from the names altogether: the 6.9-inch class is now “iPhone with Dynamic Island (large display)” and the 6.3-inch one “iPhone with Dynamic Island (medium display)”.

Designing for the new width

Going from 393 pt to 402 pt is nine points of width, and it is almost never the width that breaks. What breaks is anything anchored to the bottom: the 17 Pro is 874 pt tall against the 16's 852, so a screen built to fill exactly 852 leaves a 22 pt band of nothing.

Design to the safe areas rather than to a total, and the extra height becomes content instead of a gap. If you are producing a set from scratch for the store, start at 1320 × 2868: it is the largest, and the 1206 × 2622 set Apple requires can be derived from it downwards. Upscaling shows on type before it shows anywhere else.

Where these numbers come from

The screen sizes come from the device profiles that ship with Xcode 27 and were read again in the iOS 27 Simulator on 28 September 2026; the upload classes are from the App Store Connect screenshot reference, checked again on 12 October 2026. The Human Interface Guidelines, which this page first cited, dropped their table of screen sizes on 9 September 2026. Apple revises the screenshot reference more often than anyone expects, so check it before an upload that matters, and treat any table you find elsewhere, including this one, as needing that check. The screenshot size calculator is compared with it slot by slot.

Questions

What are the iPhone 17 screenshot sizes?

The iPhone 17 and 17 Pro are 402 × 874 pt at @3×, which is 1206 × 2622 px. The 17 Pro Max is 440 × 956 pt, or 1320 × 2868 px.

What size is the iPhone Air?

420 × 912 pt, or 1260 × 2736 px, a size no earlier iPhone produced.
