iPhone 16 Pro vs. iPhone 17 Pro Buyer's Guide: 25+ Changes Compared

I bought my 16 Pro for Apple Intelligence. What a big lie that was.

I fell for the same scam... I haven't used a single thing of Apple Intelligence after the first week.

I should've waited and upgraded my 14PM for the 17PM

Brittle depends on the alloy, we won’t know how it performs until it’s in users hands. As to a step back, there are many advantages to aluminum:

I noticed my 16PM does get warmer than my previous aluminum body phones. I just chalked it up to more performance being packed in but the heat dissipation makes sense.

You can if you’re the Apple marketing department and you keep getting away with such BS year after year.

What if I have a 15 Pro Max? it’s been two years and I usually get it an upgrade every year except I skipped the 16 because I definitely didn’t see anything substantial but the 17 Pro Max looks like it’s substantial from where I’m at. One of the main things is I like its new cooling system and longer battery life for sure. I also like all the connectivity upgrades with the Wi-Fi 7, N1, antenna placement and possibly now that it’s a aluminum unit body it’s going to get even better reception with all these updates.
