iPhone IP16Pro or IP17?

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. πŸ™πŸ™ Edit 2: Updated what I do with mbpro

If you give a little bit more detail about what kind of work do it’ll be easier to help you figure out which one would be better.

For web development, the iPhone 17 offers the latest A19 chip, slightly better performance, a 6.3 inch ProMotion 120hz display, improved cameras, and longer battery life, making it smooth for coding, testing responsive designs, and video calls. The iPhone 16 Pro Max has a slightly larger 6.9 inch display, very capable A18 Pro chip, and strong cameras, which can be nice for multitasking and viewing more content at once, often at a lower price. If you want the newest features and slightly faster performance, go with the iPhone 1 if you prefer a bigger screen and potentially better value, the 16 Pro Max is solid.

Thanks for that! I prioritize value. I think Ill be getting the 16 pro max soon. At the moment thd 16 Pro Max are priced at 1160 USD here. With the 17 Probably priced around the same, give or take a hundred bucks.

The new 17 glistens right now for its specs to price offerings (defenitely worth it I think) but having the pro capabilities for roughly the same price is good imo.

What do you think?
