The iPhone 17 series along with the iPhone Air, was launched at the Mall at the Colombo Port City Economic Commission in the presence of several dignitaries including Colombo Port City Economic Commission Director – Finance Ruwan Karunarathne, CHEC Port City Colombo Deputy Managing Director Xiang Nan, and CDF Duty Free Country General Manager Dimantha Kinigama.

This first-of-its-kind event was held at the Mall at the Colombo Port City, renowned for pioneering the Downtown Duty-Free concept in South Asia, marking this event a major milestone for both CDF Duty Free and the Sri Lankan Duty Free retail industry.

Representing CDF Duty Free’s commitment to innovation, exposure, and excellence, this momentous occasion is commemorated hand in hand with Port City, with the aim to establish CDF at Port City as a world-class shopping destination, not just for arriving and departing passengers, but also for the newly recognised diplomatic community. 

CDF Duty Free is part of the China Duty Free Group (CDFG), a global leader in Duty Free retail, operating in over 200 locations worldwide, with an annual revenue exceeding $ 10.5 billion. CDFG operates the world’s largest Duty-Free mall, spanning over 280,000 square metres, a clear reflection of CDFGs global scale and ambition. CDF works with 1000 Global suppliers with over best Global brands. Unlike other Duty-Free outlets, the scale of CDF allows them to purchase directly, and offer the best prices and best promotions to the consumer.

The iPhone 17 series stands out for its across-the-board upgrades that make both the standard and Pro models significantly more capable than previous generations. Core improvements to the iPhone 17 includes a new Centre Stage front camera that takes selfies to the next level; a powerful 48MP Fusion Main camera with an optical quality 2x Telephoto; and a new 48MP Fusion Ultra-Wide camera that captures expansive scenes and macro photography in more detail. The 6.3-inch Super Retina XDR display with ProMotion, is bigger and brighter, enabling supersmooth scrolling, immersive gaming, and improved efficiency. And with the new Ceramic Shield 2, the front cover is tougher than any smartphone glass or glass-ceramic, with 3x better scratch resistance than the previous generation and reduced glare. It is all powered by the latest-generation A19 chip for higher performance and longevity.

On the Pro side, Apple adds more professional-grade capabilities, including superior thermal management, more advanced optical zoom, and a suite of creator-focused video tools. Both models feature A19 Pro, the most powerful and efficient chip for iPhone yet, enabling the advanced camera systems, next-level mobile gaming, and Apple Intelligence. Built with an Apple-designed vapor chamber that is laser-welded into a strong, light, and thermally conductive aluminum unibody, iPhone 17 Pro and iPhone 17 Pro Max deliver Apple’s best-ever performance and an enormous leap in battery life.

These latest models are now available at CDF in an array of new finishes; including lavender, mist blue, sage, white and black for iPhone 17, space black, cloud white, light gold and sky blue for iPhone Air and Cosmic orange deep blue and silver for Pro models.
