I was going to upgrade my XS max this year but dislike the design of the 17 pro and air. My XS is still on it original battery (78% health) still lets me make phone calls, send messages and browse the net, still feels snappy. I wont get liquid glass but that seems like a good thing. The back/sides of my XS are still mint.
Got a tip for us?

iPhone 17 Pro Can’t believe Apple released an iPhone Pro that feels this cheap.

Perception isn’t reality. And the reality is the Air isn’t more premium than the Pro. Do you buy an iPhone to have something that ‘feels’ premium or is premium?
What isn’t premium about the iPhone Air? Apple inserted the same A19 Pro chip that the iPhone Pro has. I bet you’d have different opinion about it if it had an ultra wide camera lens and speakers on the bottom.
Aesthetically, it’s the best looking iPhone we’ve had in years. And it’s more durable than the Pro aluminum brick. And that does matter to me.
I’ve had the Pro model every single year. And the Pro this year is probably the ugliest design they’ve ever released.
My pov is this: I rather have an iphone thats absolutely beautiful in 100% of times but gives me battery struggle in 10% of time then having an iPhone that looks like a brick with cheap aluminum in 100% of times and helps me in battery struggle in 10% of times.
Does this make sense?

Max. battery capacity is 103,2 % whereas my 16 PM had 104,2. Also, German phones appear to have only about ~100 more mAh than the previous generation. Coconut battery shows full charge capacity as 4921 and design capacity of only 4768. That’s a bummer. 😐
