Quick answer
An iPhone 17 mockup video combines a real app screenshot or screen recording with a 3D iPhone 17, 17 Pro, or 17 Pro Max model. Choose the model that matches the campaign, preserve the screen's portrait ratio, and use motion that keeps the interface facing the viewer.
When this workflow is useful
Use the iPhone 17 family for current iOS launch campaigns, feature announcements, App Store planning, Product Hunt galleries, and landing-page hero clips. The device communicates platform context; the recording should still prove the product benefit.

Step-by-step workflow
- Capture one complete interaction. Record a short flow such as onboarding, search, checkout, creation, or a completed result. Remove pauses before importing.
- Select the correct iPhone model. Choose iPhone 17, 17 Pro, or 17 Pro Max in the Pro device catalog. Keep the same model across a campaign unless comparison is the story.
- Fit and review the screen media. Check the first and last frames, status bar, safe areas, and crop. Review the screen at the size it will appear on the final page.
- Choose preset or custom motion. Use a preset for speed or create position, rotation, scale, glare, and camera keyframes for a campaign-specific reveal.
- Export for the destination. Use landscape for landing pages and launch galleries, portrait for short-form social, and a transparent MOV when the device must be composited elsewhere.
Decisions that improve the result
17 versus Pro
Choose based on the hardware used in your messaging or audience, not because one model appears more premium. Consistency is more valuable than switching frames.
Screen readability
Avoid steep angles while an important interaction plays. Rotate during entrances and transitions, then hold closer to front-facing for the product moment.
App Store assets
A promotional mockup is useful for campaigns, but store submissions must still follow Apple's current screenshot and app-preview rules.
Production checklist
- Correct iPhone 17 model
- Portrait media crop
- No personal notifications
- Front-facing product moment
- Channel-safe text area
- Current Apple specifications checked
