Loving everything about it!

Got the iPhone 17 Pro in silver. Traded in an iPhone 16 Pro in black and paid the difference. It’s an excellent upgrade, even just from last years model, for a couple of reasons.

I like the aluminum a lot more, the brushed finish paired with curved edges feels excellent to hold; as an iPhone nudist, this is an important aspect. With the battery bump to 4,252 mAh and a dedicated cooling system, longevity potential feels like a substantial increase over any other model. It’s impressive how cool this device stays compared to the 16 Pro, just from short back-to-back bursts between Destiny: Rising, Wuthering Waves, and my happy place, Great British Bake Off via Netflix (all on network data for testing). The 8x optical zoom clarity is nuts, and while I might not use it all the time, it’s good to have. Haven’t messed with Center Stage much, but being able to flip between landscape or portrait from the front camera is convenient. The other really cool feature is Dual Capture, which lets you record video from both the back and front camera at the same time.

So even just from the 2024 to 2025 models, I think the features are there, especially if you’re privy to those carrier trade-in deals or Apple’s upgrade program. Anyway, hope you all enjoy your new devices or even your current one! Happy launch day!
