I'm still on the fence on whether I do a battery replacement at 89% or just get the 17 Pro. I don't get the same excitement for these new phones like I used to, but the new battery life is something that really interests me.
Got a tip for us?

I've just seen that I could sell my 15 Pro (256) for UK £510.
The 17 Pro is 1,099, 256 is now standard, and the base 17 is £799
=> upgrade cost for the 17 Pro is £589
& £289 for the base 17
Both with new batteries.
Tempted despite not being unhappy with my 15 Pro

It does not feel like 89% at all. Phone is at 50% by the afternoon.
My 3 year old - will have to last me a 4th year - iPhone 14 Pro Max has 85%.
BTW, NEVER EVER run iOS public betas on any iPhone you plan to keep longer than a year. Public betas kill battery health long term.

I feel the same at 87%. Obviously replacing the battery would make it much better!
No way. My iphone 15 PM is still at the top of its game!
Going to buy a 17 and give the 15 Pro to my eldest daughter.
17 is lighter.

I went into the Keynote slightly pessimistic on upgrading but now I think I'm pulling the trigger. I went 15 Pro Max because of the battery life, but I wish I had the smaller form factor - sometimes it's just too big and bulky for me. If I can move to the smaller size while (according to Apple's specs) actually gaining battery life, that's about as ideal of a situation as possible for me.
The real question now is...what colour? I wish black was an option this year as I think it's what I'd lean toward by default. I'm intrigued by the orange but not sure if that interest would last 2+ years.

I’ll be waiting one more year for the iPhone 18 Pro…
While the 15 Pro hasn’t been my favorite iPhone as far was efficiency goes. It’s good enough still and even at 89% battery health, I get a full days use out of it.
By next year it will be ready for the upgrade deals.
Edit: Also NO black color…? WTH is Apple thinking? Hopefully next year.

15 Pro user at 87% battery health and eyeing a Space Black Air now.
Launch day 15 Pro Max here with 86% battery health. Definitely upgrading to the 17 Pro Max in blue on Friday. Giving/ selling my mom the 15 Pro Max.
Of course, I have a 15 pro and I've never had an iPhone with such heat.
