Hi everyone,

this will be my first iPhone purchase, so I’d really appreciate your advice. I’d like to know which of these two models you would recommend. The price is similar, and storage isn’t that important to me, cause I have a lot of storage space on OneDrive.

I’m looking for a smaller phone, comfortable to hold, so I’m torn between these two. The PM is too big for me.
 
Does the regular iPhone 17 have anti-reflective coating, or is it only on the Pro models?
 
Get the base 17. It has everything you need and it's lighter than the 16 Pro. I had to send the 16 Pro back because it was too heavy for me.

The only compelling reason to get the 16 Pro is if you really need the camera features.
