iPhone 16 Pro Iphone 17 PM? How huge is it?

[iphonefreak450]

Currently I am on my iPhone 16P and want to upgrade to either to a 17P or 17PM.

The 16P is quite small to me and as I wear slightly relaxed or loose jeans it often tumbles around my pocket and often the phone would sit sideways.

For those of you who own a 17PM, please tell me on how well it fits in the pocket. Is it too snug or is it really hard to pull in and out of the pocket?

I also used to have the S25 ultra, but with that, the Display was slightly more narrow as the iPhone displays tend to be more wider.

Anyways, I will eventually go to my local Apple reseller store and maybe I'll ask them to let me hold one just to see if the size would be right.

I can only say in general that the 17PM is not at all too large for me. I thought it may be, as I was coming from a 15 Pro, but I now think the size is just right. I've only had it for a month, so given that it's summertime, I haven't had the chance to put it in my jeans pocket etc., for the season I carry it in a small bag I use for my wallet, carkeys etc.
When the clothing is less loose come Autumn, I'll see how it feels like, but my overall impression is that it is surprisingly not-big for what I was expecting.

I wear jeans year around and its not that the phone does not fit the front pockets its that getting my oversized hands in the pocket to fetch a large phone no PM for me and I see a lot of people with them in their back pocket which amazes me the screen can survive .

The 17 Pro Max is slightly bigger than a S25 Ultra (taller and wider), but the big one is weight, the S25 Ultra weighed 218g while 17 PM is 233g, so do check if you will be happy with the weight.

Personally very happy with my 17 Pro Max, if anything I think Apple can shave off a bit more of the bezel and grow the screen slightly to around 7.2inch.

I’m a woman with small hands and wear tight fitting jeans and have no issues putting my phone inside and taking it out of the front pocket of my jeans. I also have no issues with handling my phone either with one or two hands. I also do not use a case 99% of the time. I’m currently rocking a clear skin that covers the back and sides of the phone and use a Süti phoneback for the back of my phone when I leave the house. I could never use any phone smaller than the Pro Max phones.

Have you ever held a Google Pixel 10 Pro XL? Now that phone was heavy as I had one as well especially with a case on it. I think that was the heaviest phone I ever owned. And its 232g. Just 1gram less heavier than the 17PM.

My best bet is to hold one at an Apple store before making the jump.

I have both, Pixel 10 Pro XL and 17 Pro Max. iPhone is a little bit wider, but they feel similar.

Thanks to all the feedback.

I'll just have to be at the Apple store to hold one of their demo units.

Unfortunately we do not get Google Pixels here in South Africa officially, so I’ve never held a Pixel 10 Pro XL. Another thing to consider is the balance of the weight as sometimes 2 phones can weigh roughly the same but the way the weight is distributed throughout the top and bottom of the device can create significant difference in feel and overall ergonomics, although the 17 Pro Max is 233g the weight doesn’t feel that much more than my 15 Pro Max because the 17 distributes the weight better.

Hoping you do like the 17 Pro Max when you try it, it is a great device but it needs to suit you 👌

iPhone 17PM has been my favorite iPhone since the 4. I switched to this from a 14Pro and am loving the real estate the screen offers (& battery life!). I don’t have problems fitting it into pant or jacket pockets and it’s never been too snug or too loose. I use a clear MagSafe case for it and it’s survived drops.

I bought this blindly having never even held the PM version of the iPhone but I’d recommend looking in store first. The space on the screen is really nice for websites and apps though.
