should i get the base 17 japanese version?

hello guys! i wanted to ask for advice regarding the iPhone 17 Japanese version. in my country its cheaper than our country’s version. and right now i have enough money to only get the Japanese version but i heard about the shutter sound when taking pictures and found out it can be muted when we put our country’s sim card. I cant really wait a little longer since im on the iPhone xs but is there anything else i should know about it? please lmk 🥲

I got a new iPhone 17 recently through Verizon and started noticing random glitches. The screen would sometimes bounce up and down/flashing when opening certain iMessage conversations and it also happened on Facebook occasionally. At first I thought maybe it was just because one specific conversation had a lot of pictures/gifs, but then it happened in other apps too.

I took it to Apple and the phone passed all diagnostics. They basically told me they didn’t know what else to do and replaced the display. The issue STILL happened after that. I even restored the phone as new (not from backup) and it still happened.
I contacted Apple Support again and eventually got escalated to a senior advisor. At one point they told me I’d be able to get a replacement at the Apple Store, so I drove an hour with my 2 kids under 2 just for the store to refuse and basically tell me to get AppleCare+ if I wanted a replacement option. I left super frustrated.

Then Apple Support on the phone told me if I got AppleCare+ they could do an Express Replacement where they mail me another phone and I send mine back.

My husband thinks I should just go with Apple because their replacement phones are heavily tested and probably fine, but my mother-in-law keeps saying she’d rather I get a completely brand new sealed phone because “what if the refurbished one was someone else’s problem phone too.” 😭
I also feel conflicted because my current phone is literally only 3 weeks old. Part of me feels weird replacing such a new phone for a replacement device that could technically be older or previously used by someone else already. I know Apple tests them, but mentally it’s hard not to feel like I’d be “downgrading” in a way even if the replacement works perfectly.

Would you guys trust the Apple replacement device? Has anyone had good experiences with Apple replacement phones?

Currently I'm on an base iPhone 13 and am looking to upgrade to the base 17 soon. I hear reports that say that the base iPhone 18 will not be released until the spring of next year so I'm wondering whether that would affect the typical £100 drop in price in September for iPhones.

My 13 can last for another 5-6 months and honestly, I would rather pay £699 than £799.

I usually listen to music with wired earphones. Then I accidentally pulled out the plug while lying on my bed with the phone on my chest. I hit play and holy shiz!!! The stereo on this phone??? It so… I dont know how to put it, dynamic? I can hear distinct separations of background vocals, instruments etc. Have you noticed it too?

I was within my return window and didn’t like the bulkiness of the 17PM. Was in a tax free state so picked up the base 17 for $799 total? ($500 cheaper than the 17PM w tax!) so far so good? Anyone else do similar?
Case: anyone recommend a nice case for this 17?

I've been using my 64 GB 11 pro for six years and am just now running into storage problems. I take a lot of kid photos and occasional videos and use basic social media apps and stream music. I also use cloud storage. It seems like 256 GB should be more than enough for me, but I'm worried that, given that apps and data and photos all seem to require more storage, I won't be able to make this one last as long. On the flip side, I don't want to pay for something I don't need. Any thoughts on this? Am I way overthinking?

So I recently got the iphone 17 and am trying to use it as long as I can.
I had an iphone 6s plus since like 2019 so this is a very huge update for me and honestly if it werent for the fact half the apps were not opening or I cant dowland them and the fact the phone was lagging as hell and had to restart it every 2 days I wouldnt have changed. I do plan on using the new phone till it gives up tbh but given the fact that this is a huge update for me I dont know anything on the phone like it took me over 10 minutes to realize how you can change the wallpaper and the camera is so wow am gonna say I can see my pores but why the fuck is the storage already over 52GB?! I didnt even switch anything from my old phone so am confused about that as well and was shocked that theres no touch id or sim card slot and was also shocked there was a charger tbh

I'm torn between the Lavender iPhone 17 and the Mist Blue iPhone 17. I saw them in person to help with my decision and the Lavender surprised me in how light it was from everything I've seen online. I was so sure that was the color from the posts and videos about them but now I'm torn 😵‍💫

This will be my long term phone for the next 5+ years so I don't want to have one I hate the color of. (It matters even if I cover it up with a case, my OCD wouldn't quit bugging me if I do that 😅)

For those who had to choose between two colors, how'd you make up your mind? Do you regret your pick?

Tengo el iPhone 17 base desde finales de enero y, sinceramente, me da la sensación de que muchas apps y páginas web todavía no están completamente adaptadas al dispositivo.

Lo he notado, por ejemplo, en algunas aplicaciones donde la interfaz no se muestra correctamente. En Grok, por ejemplo, el texto aparecía cortado por los laterales, como si no cupiera bien en pantalla.

También he detectado fallos con el teclado al navegar por algunas páginas web. El otro día, por ejemplo, iba bastante lento: escribía mucho más rápido de lo que aparecía reflejado en pantalla, como si tuviera retraso.

Y para rematar, en la última semana se me ha quedado pillado el sonido varias veces. En una llamada, el tono se quedó sonando en bucle repitiendo solo una parte, como si fuera un remix. Además, en otra ocasión seguía reproduciéndose el audio de un vídeo incluso después de haber cerrado por completo la app en la que lo estaba viendo.

¿Os ha pasado a alguien más?

Planning to buy an iPhone 17 next week.

Currently using a Vivo T3 and thinking of switching to Apple for the first time.

People who already bought the 17 — what issues have you faced so far? Battery, heating, camera, bugs, charging, anything?

Also, what all should I prepare before moving from Android to iPhone?

How to transfer WhatsApp chats properly?

Google Photos vs iCloud — which is better?

Any problems with file sharing from Windows/Android after switching?

Is Move to iOS app reliable?

Anything important I should backup before changing?

Apps or features you miss after leaving Android?

And which colour looks the best in real life? I’m confused between White and Black 😅

White looks super clean and premium to me, but Black also looks classy sometimes.

Would love to hear your experiences, tips, regrets, and recommendations before I switch.

as said in the title im upgrading my phone to the new iPhone 17🫶. i wanted to ask you guys if i will be seeing a change🥲 i wanted to buy the pro max for the size since i want a big phone but i genuinely cannot afford it so im going for the base 17. is the size good enough😔

update: i keep seeing posts abt the iphone 17 front camera being bad and i wanted to know if its true. this is one of the main reasons im upgrading to the new phone since i love taking selfies and my iphone xs is no longer taking good quality pics.

I am a first time iphone user, I bought my iphone 17 during Easter in newzealand, with big dream and saving up for it, now I am using it in India, by far my experience is strange as I don't know what's the battery life in iphone, quality of photos and videos, stuff like that, so after 1.5 month approx i am not sure how long it's been exactly but I think it's about that, I am seeing crazy draining of battery while using camera or taking video, imagine I just opened camera at 80percent within 2 or 3 mins it came to 78, then after the update I see strange bug such as siri not able to respond to my commands, one side of my speaker not working stuff like that, so if you guys know anything that could help me with this would be great, I keep reading post of people about indexing and stuff, also my battery health is 100% after 33cycles, but not going to lie, switching from a 200dollar android phone to iphone is a whole different experience. At some point I am still using my second phone sometimes and scrolling or even typing from it is frustrating as it lags and hangs a lot and when you use iphone back and forth.

Hey everyone,

I’ve been noticing some annoying minor stuttering and micro-lags on my iPhone 17 recently, and I wanted to see if anyone else is experiencing the same issue.

I have the 17 base model and hate how pictures taken get over processed, becomes grainy and overexposed.

Any fix for this?
