It would’ve been a cool little Easter egg if they made colored USB-C cables to match the iPhone colors. An orange one would’ve looked pretty nice.

iPhone 17 Pro Reviews: Two Key Advantages Over iPhone Air

the all glass of the back of iPhone 14Pro still the best one for me aesthetics wise
1) The silver is such a big downgrade from the 13 and 14 Pro Silver/White with the beautiful stainless steel edges.
2) Orange is very orange - but I bet it looks great with the Sienna Brown case (which I haven't seen any of the reviewers use yet)
3) Blue looks solid, would probably look awesome with a blue case in tech woven or in leather
I may get these phones, but I think my natural 16 Pro max looks better than all of them. I don't get too many issues with heat, and my cameras are fine, so not really feeling the need for an upgrade quite yet

One of my favorite browser extensions has dealt with this.
It's really amazing to see how much nicer it is to browse YT without the "OMG" faces and expressions.
Nothing like a scammy youtuber bending a brand new $1000 phone for clicks and likes. Thanks for compiling a list of them that i wont click on.
It's the first time I've seen Marcus have made iPhone benchmarks - it says something... How else to convince people
Wow. That was probably the lowest effort video I’ve ever seen from Marques.
There’s really not a lot of excitement over these new phones is there?
I’m not cancelling my preorder but this is just weird.

Nothing really mentioned in the „reviews“ that would make me upgrade my 15 Pro. The camera lags significantly behind the android competition. Also the A19 Pro does only match the Snapdragon 8 Elite which will be refreshed in weeks. The Pro models are just to expensive.
Why not call them first looks or something like that? And then come out with a more in depth review later? I suppose there are some people who have to have the phone right away and want reviews to help them decide which one to get but if the reviews aren’t really that what good are they?
The iPhone 17 Pro Max has the same problem that can plague some Samsung Galaxy S24 Ultra and S25 Ultra users: the sheer size of the phone could make it unwieldy to use for some users.
By far the best colour, this is PURE 2010-2015 Apple vibes.
Great to hear it is a pretty good improvement. Thanks to iOS 26 breathing new life into my 14 Pro Max and the keyboard not sucking anymore, a LOT less typos on it now, then I think I shall grab me a refurb Orange or Blue Pro Max 17 next year. I was thinking of the folding iPhone, bad the sad reality is I know it'll cost 2 grand easy, and I have tried to set myself a limit of a grand for a phone... hence I buy refurb ones now.
The Pro Max is just TOO big and heavy. And it's especially noticeable/prominent with the new design language.
But for those who need the absolute most from their smartphone... It's truly a BEAST.👏🏼

Still think this is a good update over the 16 Pro, as the improved battery life and better camera system will be enough to make most people happy. But I will say the ceramic shield on the back is a little off-putting as it disrupts the flow of the color design for me, just IMO of course. Not a huge deal for most that will used solid case I suppose.
LOL. It's the reverse. The 8 Elite Gen 5 can't hold a candle to the A19 Pro. Never has [Never will]
As far as camera, that's subjective.
It’s really too bad that Anandtech is no more. They did, by far, the most in-depth technical analysis of new phones & processors.
Now we get YouTube style reviews and people running Geekbench complaint a few games instead.

Watch Brian Tong and the CNET video. This two are actually legitimate reviewers.
Yeah, no. Maybe in cherry-picked scenarios.
I use my iPhone for video and it absolutely crushed anything by Samsung or Google. 4K ProRes Log destroys 8K gimmick on Samsung and Pixels can’t even record high frame rate HDR because their processors are too slow.
Snapdragon is pathetic. Has 8 performance cores and barely beat the A18 Pro while still behind on single core (the most important).
