r/iPhone17Pro

Got this photography kit for my iPhone 17 pro. Does the job pretty well… now I don’t have to carry my DSLR for casual and street photography.

I found a TechWoven case at Target today for $30. I couldn’t pass up that deal and it looks great on the Deep Blue iPhone.

whats the difference between the normal chip vs pro chip? I am using my iphone for tiktok and twitch and also casual gaming. by casual gaming i mean once in 5 months.

Back to out the box pristine condition !!

iPhone 17 Pro: 10 Month Review

I’ve been using the iPhone 17 pro since September and here are my overall thoughts (Upgraded from a 13)

I have absolutely no regrets upgrading to a iPhone 17 pro but there are some things I dislike about it

Firstly, I’ll talk about the design. In my opinion I actually find this to be really good-looking. I picked it up in the deep blue colorway, and it looks phenomenal, it’s also really thin. It feels solid in your hands but in my opinion it’s a bit too small. (9/10)

Display.
To be completely honest, I didn’t feel any difference between this and the 13. I don’t know why. I’m also not a big fan of the variable refresh rate. To me, Android phones with a constant 120Hz display feel noticeably smoother and more consistent. I really wish you could turn off the variable refresh rate in an upcoming iOS update. In fact, I sometimes prefer the display on my $300 Nothing 3a over the 17 Pro, which is pretty surprising considering the price difference. I’m not even joking my 300$ secondary phone feels smoother than my 1,200$ phone (6/10)

Performance.
Wow.
There are absolutely no flaws when it comes to performance. The phone is butter-smooth, and apps open instantly. Maybe 1 in 100 times it bugs out. But the A19 Pro does the job. Multitasking is amazing on this phone and handles all apps easily. It overheats sometimes. At this point any phone in the world overheats but not as much as others. (10/10)

Camera.
This is where the 17 Pro shines. In my opinion it’s the best thing the 17 Pro can do. It takes insanely good photos and videos, and I put some sample images below. The depth of field is actually incredible and it’s so close to looking like an actual full-frame camera.
(10/10)

Battery.
Good and bad.
For the first few months the 17 pro had insane battery performance. I would literally go out with 30% not worried at all. I had 100% battery health with 234 cycles. I then reached 282 cycles and now it’s at 96%. I have no idea how and lots of users faced this issue too. Regardless of that the battery is still great.
(8.5/10)

iOS & Siri
iOS 27 is actually running really smoothly for me. Apps open instantly but I’m not really seeing any performance increase.
Post iOS 27 Siri was probably the worst AI voice assistant ever created. After that maybe 2nd worst. Jokes aside it has improved drastically, it can finally tell me the time. The weird thing is I still feel like I’m using the iPhone 13. Every feature on the 13 is available here.

In summary, this phone actually taught me a lesson. A 1,200$ lesson. To try and consider other phones first. After buying the 17 pro I learnt that Android phones might actually be better after all. Don’t get me wrong the 17 Pro is a spectacular phone. But I just found every iPhone to be like the other. When I got a $300 Android phone I felt way more excited than getting the 17 Pro. It didn’t feel like an upgrade in my opinion

Bonjour,
J’ai acheté le 17 pro max il y a 10 jours, j’ai l’impression que la batterie se vide beaucoup trop vite je m’attendais à mieux au niveau autonomie. J’hésite à passer vers le S26 ultra

Finally caved and ordered one!
AMAZING phone!
After seeing this color (little obsessed with blue) knew I had to make the jump.

To think a year ago when I was buying my 16 Pro Max I hated the look of these 🤣
