iPhone 17, 17 Pro, 17 Pro Max and iPhone Air: every screenshot size

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.

Device	Screen (points)	Scale	Native pixels
iPhone 17 Pro Max	440 × 956	@3×	1320 × 2868
iPhone Air	420 × 912	@3×	1260 × 2736
iPhone 17 Pro	402 × 874	@3×	1206 × 2622
iPhone 17	402 × 874	@3×	1206 × 2622

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 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:

Class	Accepted sizes (portrait)	Which of these phones
6.9″	1320 × 2868, 1290 × 2796 or 1260 × 2736	17 Pro Max, Air
6.3″	1206 × 2622 or 1179 × 2556	17 Pro, 17

The 6.9-inch class is the one that matters: it is the only set Apple really asks for, and every other class falls back to a scaled version of it. If you ship one set and one set only, ship that one, at any of its three widths.

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.

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, it is the set Apple wants, and everything else can be derived from it downwards. Upscaling shows on type before it shows anywhere else.

Where these numbers come from

The screen sizes are Apple's own, in the Human Interface Guidelines specifications table; the upload classes are from the App Store Connect screenshot reference. Both were read on 31 August 2026. Apple revises the second of those 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.
