iPhone 17 iPhone 17 better than 16 Pro? Seems so.

[Sensamic]

Between buying a discounted 16 Pro or the new base 17, it seems the 17 is the better phone and buy overall?

- Same design.
- Thinner.
- Lighter.
- Brighter screen.
- Antireflective coating.
- Same RAM.
- New better selfie camera.
- Better Bluetooth 6.0.
- Faster charging.
- Maybe better battery life?
- Aluminum design, better for heat dissipation.
- Still cheaper than discounted 16 Pro.
- New ceramic shield 2.

Only advantage of the 16 Pro is the 5x optical zoom I guess? And faster chip?

16 Pro has a Lidar scanner (for better focus in low light and portrait modes, plus more accurate measuring in the measure app), better main camera, better quality microphones
