Hello there

I will have a company voucher of 600€ to buy a new phone, like every 2 years. In my country, the iPhone 17 is 969€. I can use only this voucher in a boutique, unfortunately.

I have an iPhone 16 for work and an iPhone 15 Pro for personal. I can sell one of them to cover the cost of the full price of a brand new iPhone.


Between these options, what would you recommend:

  1. Buy iPhone 17 for 969€ for professional use
  2. Buy iPhone 17 Pro for personal use
  3. Wait for iPhone 18 Pro

Phone usage is regular, I mostly use my personal phone for pictures and videos while on holidays. I don’t like the battery life on my 15 Pro, but I can change the battery even though it’s not yet under 80%, I believe. I also bought an extra battery (company voucher also, through work council).
 
Yes what Tsepz said is solid advice. 15 Pro is a good phone, i agree its battery is not great when down to 90% and below, so if you can get a new battery it will perform like brand new until the 18 Pro is released.

I tried to do the exact same thing, but Apple kept messing me about when i tried to get my 15 Pro battery changed and also the 128 GB storage was running out.
