As a long term power user of Windows plus Android, I got tired of my bulky laptop. Last year I acquired a MacBook Air, then an iPad Air in February this year, though I kept my Honor phone for doubts about price and long-term usage.

I made my mind and got the iPhone 17 base. Maybe because of long use of iPadOS and MacOS, I feel so comfortable here that it's like I never changed devices and, simultaenously, all the advantages are now here: FaceID, Continuity, Mirroring, Handoff, AirPods seamless transition, Center Stage camera, action button and more.

Apple was right, it just works.

Now that I own a MacBook Air and an iPad Air, it is time to get an iPhone, but I would like a dark blue one to match my Midnight MBA.

My options are basically a refurbished 15 Pro or a new 17 Pro, preferably after 18 Pro launch so I get a better price. However, a middle ground could be a base model 17 in black (sadness).

I haven't bought one yet because my current Honor 200 Pro was bought in late 2024, it's quite new and still really fast.
