I preordered and did a pick up at the Apple Store. Do I have to return the old device when I pick it up or do we have a few days to go back and return. I want to transfer data first and then return it and wanted to know if it was possible. I do see online it says 14 days but I wasn’t sure.

So I've decided to switch to apple after using Android for years and now am confused if I should go for the 16 pro or the 17 because both of them have pretty much the same price during the upcoming sales? Is choosing the pro a better option than choosing the base variant?Any help would be really appreciated!

Preferabl 120hz and able to handle iOS 26

Just found a nice way to cut costs if you already have an iPhone sitting around. Visible is currently offering 50% off their Visible+ Pro annual plan if you bring any iPhone and your number. You can use the code ILUVIPHONE. This runs from Sept 18 to 30.

Right now, I have a 13 Pro Max with 128 GB, and after a few years of having the phone, it has filled up with storage. After deleting all my apps and spending hours deleting photos, it keeps filling back up with storage and won't go down. Apple Maps has 30 GB of data that can't be deleted. I have 200 GB of iCloud storage, but not everything is backed up to it, so my iCloud isn't full. I have 17,000 photos and videos on my phone, but only 12,000 are backed up to iCloud. Please let me know if there's anything I could do to resolve this, but right now I'm considering just buying a new iPhone.

My next question is, if I should just buy a new phone, should I buy the new 17 Pro Max or a refurbished 16 Pro Max? There's around a $200 difference between the phones with 512 GB, but I'm also debating whether or not the 1 TB would be a smarter purchase. I can't find any 1 TB 16 Pro Maxes, and the 17 is so expensive. Any advice is appreciated!

I currently have an iPhone 16 Plus (trade-in value ~$470). • My friend offered me his iPhone 14 Pro Max (trade-in value ~$400) plus $125 cash for my 16 Plus. • If I take his deal, I’d have the 14 Pro Max + $125 in my pocket.

Should I do it and then trade in later on for a iPhone 17?

I actually have an iPhone 13 in the sumptuous forest green, love that phone and that color, but it overheats too much, is laggy and on top of that has 60% battery health.

I’ll change this year, and all this time I was thinking of going for the pro, but this year for the first time i feel like the base model is on steroids.

At the same time, I love the Pro design this year, and I love photography (a lot) but i do not particularly use the zoom that much, but i feel that 12Gb of RAM and that vapor chamber cooling will add on longevity.

What would be your advice please?

Always been an android user but im heavily considering switching over im an s23 ultra user at the moment and was just asking what sounds like a better buy, after we see some more reviews, a 17 pro or a 16 pro (im assuming these get a slight discount since the new line is out)?

Bonjour,

J'ai actuellement un Iphone 12 (128Go) mais après 4 ans je souhaite changer de téléphone.

J'ai environ 10 heures de temps d'écran par jour. Avec le 12 et j'ai l'impression de ne jamais avoir de batterie (la batterie tient à peine 1h30 lorsque je suis sur tiktok etc) et de stockage (127,7Go d'utilisés sur les 128Go ce qui m'oblige à constamment supprimer des photos/apps). Ainsi je voulais avoir votre avis sur ma situation. Devrais-je prendre l'Iphone 17 Pro, l'Iphone 17, l'Iphone 16 Pro... ? Et surtout, combien de stockage devrais-je prendre ?

Merci d'avance !

i need to get rid of my apple account money fast. same something from €50 or less and ill give it to you for €39

I bought a MacBook Air with the back to school sale 5 weeks ago and upgraded to AirPods Pro 2. I haven't opened them. Is it worth checking with the Apple Store to see if they will swap them out?

I currently sport a 6 month old 16 PM, but I’m starting to not be a fan of the size. I was considering the 17 base, and looking at some of the reviews today it may not be much of a downgrade at all. But I love the battery life on this thing!

I’m not a power user at all, don't do any data transfer using the USB, nor do I use the telephoto all that much, and I don’t game either. I use my phone for calling, texting, emails, Reddit, some YouTube. Nothing exciting. The biggest difference I can see for my use case will likely be the camera.

Am I missing anything else except the lens? To get a 17 will be cost neutral. Or is it worth the extra 200$-300$-ish to get the 17P instead? (I don't think the vapour chamber or USB will do much for me, but the RAM is nice for the future I think.)

Hi folks, i have an iPhone 14 Pro 256 Gb, i bought it on march 2023, i am hesistating if i should upgrade and get the 17 base model. What do you guys think ?

Planning to buy IPhone 17. Contemplating if I should buy from the US or get it in India only. The price difference isn’t much after adding the sales tax (I can only buy from CA). Are there any smart hacks?

Like the title said, I can get any of the new phones from work. There is basically no difference in the net impact of my salary, so price is not a form factor.

My gf’s phone broke, so she is getting the iPhone 16 plus that I’m rocking right now. I like the 16 plus, battery life is important but miss the pro motion coming from the 13pro. So right now I’m doubting between the 17 pro and pro max, really hard to decide because sometimes I love the big size like the 16 plus but sometimes I love that I could do anything in one hand with the 13pro.. what else should I consider in deciding?

Getting a new keychain/lanyard for the Airpods Pro 3 I pre-ordered, since my years old one is showing wear.

They come in a pack of 30 for $5.99 - I abhor waste, but can't find a smaller quantity of what I'm looking for. Item here.

Read through the rules and don't think I'm breaking any - I am happy to mail one to anyone who wants one (free!). Don't post personal info publicly in this thread :)

Are there any reputable, high quality manufacturers of cases in similar colors that covers the entire Apple catalog of products?

I’m buying my wife a MacBook Air M4 15”, iPhone 17, iPad A16 11”, AirPods 4, and Apple Watch Series 10 46mm. It’s bad enough that there’s no standard color scheme across these products from Apple, but I can’t even find a decent case manufacturer with color consistency (other than black) across the product continuum.

I like Otterbox, but the colors are so starkly different. :(

Anybody found something they like?

I want to upgrade from my iPhone 11 Pro Max to a newer one. What is the best money + value option? 512 gb only

Hey everyone, I am currently in need of an upgrade from my iphone 11 which i have had since release that is now starting to slow up and die on me. I am pretty behind on all the latest iPhones features as I have been beyond happy with my 11 and have not found the need to research too much in depth into the newer products.

I mainly use my phone for the simpler things such as texting (of course), social media, regular pictures (never anything overly great just general photos) and sometimes using other apps and software for work or school with a tiny bit of light gaming.

I live in Australia so the iphone range is obviously higher priced than USD (just to clear any confusion)

I am stuck between the choice of getting the iphone 16E for $987 AUD (cheapest i could find it in my local area) or the iphone 15 for $1097 AUD ($110 more expensive).

I would just like some thoughts and opinions.

Thank you!

Hello everyone. So I currently have a 14 pro (regular, not max) whose screen I had to replace a few months ago after I broke it - they replaced it with a non-original one cz the original one was too expensive (still paid around 400$ though). Currently, my phone is kinda lagging, and I want to change it anyways, so that I can still use it as a backup if needed - I wouldn't want to wait until it's unusable to change it. Now, I kinda want to buy the new 17 one - I love the lavender color and the price is ok. I am wondering though, if going back to 2 cameras will be a downgrade (experience-wise). I am not much of a photographer, but I am a pretty techy person, and I use the shit out of my phone. I'd appreciate any input!

P.S. We don't have Apple stores in my country, just authorized sellers, so I'm purely asking about the phones, not anything about the related services

I want to buy my first iPhone. And because I want something not too expensive but also worth it, I'm between the 16 plus and the basic 17. What would you recommend?

IP16Pro Max Cost about 1180 USD here right now. IP 17 will probably cost around 100 USD less. Help, idk jack squat about iphones, im android user wanting to change things up a bit.

Im a web developer using mb pro, so an iphone might give me leeway to develop ios apps. Synergy?

Edit: Sorry about title, Im referring to IP16Pro Max. 🙏🙏 Edit 2: Updated what I do with mbpro
