Thoughts on upgrading to the iPhone 14 Pro to 17 base, I never really used the 14 Pro's cameras to their full extent. Do I wait or upgrade?
 
You wouldn't be losing much - just the telephoto camera and Proraw, but gaining in battery life, a 3 year newer chip and other camera improvement (especially on the front). It's up to you whether that's worth it as the iPhone 14 Pro is still a pretty capable device (but doesn't support Apple Intelligence, which doesn't matter to me at all, but maybe it matters to you).
 
The main camera might be a bit worse since I believe that 17 has the smaller sensor where as the 14 Pro has the same one as 17 Pro
