So here we are after the release of 4 new iPhones, actually the iPhone 17 (base) is better than expected and I think it’s the best iPhone to buy now !!

Unfortunately I cannot recommend the other iPhones like the Air which is more expensive and lose in the camera and battery, the only wins are 0.2 inch bigger display, light phone and more powerful with a19 pro and 12gb of ram… This is the first air, I think that it’s going to be a great phone in the future but now it isn’t… Wait iPhone air 2 if you want air or get the 17 base which is very good!

For the 17 Pro and 17 pro max, those are way more expensive than the 17 base and the only important changes are a zoom camera, other cam exclusive things and better performances… I use the iPhone 14 Pro with A16 and it’s perfectly fine, the A19 is way better and I think that it’s not worth to pay more for the performances since almost everyone will be ok with the A19 on the iPhone 17 and if you want a good zoom, please get a real camera… the zoom will be way better…


Before the event I said that the 16 pro would be better than the 17 but we got many surprises yesterday so yeah get the 17 base if you want but that’s it no other iPhone unless a very specific reason.
 
Not worth it bro…

The Air seems to be a great update from my 16 PM for me, still a large screen now with antiglare coating but much thinner and lighter and it sheds stuff I don’t use much like cameras to achieve it.

As for worth it the cost is negligible and it has plenty of upsides, so definitely seems worth it to me.

Looks a bit like a downgrade because of the camera, but in your case it’s mostly a trade than a purchase so ok

I don’t think it’s a trade, I think it is a clear upgrade compared to what I have. And with what phones cost it really doesn’t matter if I upgrade every year or every third, so any improvement makes it worth it.

When you become my guardian/conservator and have access to all my finances, then and only then you can decide for me what I will get and not get.

Until then…pontificate. But realize, I and a bunch of other people are solidly ignoring you. Whatever you want to think about that, I don't give a damn.
 
I feel like Apple expects its users to act a beta testers for its first gen products. The follow up 2nd gen is always better so, if possible, I always wait for one iteration of a new Apple product.

Ah yes, and you are who exactly? Some no-one on an geeky Internet forum posting recommendations. Wow. Man, really, step down a little bit. :rolleyes:

I wouldn’t care if this person was someone, I would still trust my own requirements and needs over any tech enthusiasts. Those are just mere background noise entertainment to pass time, not to be taken seriously.

I have the 11 Pro Max as my primary phone. Which iteration, the 12PM, 13PM, 14PM, 15PM, 16PM or 17PM is the followup 2nd gen?

Note, I don't necessarily disagree with your assessment, it's just that there were only 'S' models (2nd gen) with the 4, 5 and 6 series. Technically you could argue the 3GS was a 2nd gen to the 3G and the X had the XR, XS, etc. Possibly the 16e is 2nd gen. And then you have the SE, SE2 and SE3 which are obvious (but Apple refers to them by year, not generation). But the main line? IDK.

You can’t recommend the iPhones? Are you someone that we seek recommendations from?
