The Apple A17 Pro — the first chip to carry the Pro name — led the industry to 3 nanometers in the iPhone 15 Pro generation in September 2023, with hardware ray tracing that brought console-class games (Resident Evil Village, Death Stranding) natively to iOS, and a doubled-throughput Neural Engine whose real payoff arrived a year later.

The A17 Pro's pairing with 8 GB of RAM quietly drew the Apple Intelligence hardware line — the 15 Pro generation became the oldest AI-capable iPhones — and its ray-tracing GPU began the mobile-console convergence the M-series expanded.
