iPhone 17 Release Date, Pre-Orders, and What to Expect

[youteonduty]

No mention of the joke which is Apple AI 😂

I miss the old Nokia Phones, battery replacement used to be so easy, SD Card Slots, head phone Jacks, feels like Apple is taking away all the good stuff in the name of innovation, i do understand it is a business model they have but jeez how much money do you wish to mint from your customers, specially the battery capacity it doe snot improve, sometimes i think all these things are deliberately done by apple hardware team to increase the overall revenue

Is 35W wired charging better than what my iPhone 16 Pro Max has right now?

Camera improvements: 24MP front selfie camera across the lineup, while the Pro models could get three 48MP rear cameras, 8× optical zoom, and potentially 8K video support.

Please tell me they won’t actually replace the 5x lens with an 8x lens.
That would be way too much for my use cases so I’d be back to a digital crop of the 1x lens.
Hoping if they go 8x it’s the high end of a zoom range.

Apple can add all the camera improvements they want, but I'd love to see them invest a lot more in AI-assisted photo and video editing. It feels like are targeting technophiles and have lost touch with creatives.

Forget the long delays of consulting chatGPT as a highlight, or cheering more megapixels. Instead use that on-device power to be a content creation powerhouse.

If people want tools like that they can have them.
But don’t sacrifice camera improvements.
I’m always going to want a picture that captures what I saw.

 

[ZipZap]

Doesn't the new design look terrible?
Perhaps I will wait for the folding phone.

 

[Jmausmuc]

Really hope they remove the camera button.

 

[JerryIII]

How can the camera bump be almost twice the size and still have the camera lenses protrude that far? WTF

I find this design refreshing and modern compared to the current glassbacks. Also really like that a lot of the case is aluminium. I'll use it without a case and don't mind when the metal gets some patina after a while.

Don’t expect to much and you won’t be disappointed!!!!!

 

[FattiesGoneWild]

Upgrading from my 16 PM to 17 PM for new location of Apple logo! 👍

dead cert

dead certificate?

 

[jbachandouris]

I'm IUP so I'm in regardless.

My wallet is hoping the AirPod Pro 3's come out in October or November.

What to expect...more of the same, with the ugliest design ever to come to iPhone. #Cooked

At least the ugly design matches now the ugly IOS26 glass theme. Skip this year.

i guess i will hang on to my 12 pro max a bit longer, i will buy the 17 pro max and try it.

If i like it i will keep and sell my 12 pro max. I still do not why they went back to aluminium frame. The phone looks kinda like a iphone 5.

 

[Vulkan]

Am I the only one that think that those phones are ugly AF?

 

[Unity451]

The only thing we can count on is the complaints following a new release .

What an unnecessary comment. Consider this a formal complaint.

 

[SFjohn]

But will it be the iPhone 17, or the iPhone 26? We’ll all find out on the 9th… 😉

rumor is 5x standard and 8x optical zoom, so a optical zoom from 5x to 8x, no crop zoom

no, they are targeting "photographers", a term you should look up"

I guess you're like me - outdated. LOL

 

[FattiesGoneWild]

No, but you yourself will still buy it. Don’t kid yourself, that’s the Apple way of purchasing.

 

[Deihmos]

One of the first iPhones I am not interested in. The design is ugly and bulky. Wish we could go back to phones that didn't weigh a brick.

 

[AF_APPLETALK]

Unless the iPhone Pro has an actually nice orange color, I'm bailing to the standard model. That C1 modem without 5G mmWave on the Air nukes itself as an option. Connectivity in some places is downright unusable without it, and I already paid for a full year of service that includes it.

 

[AF_APPLETALK]

Is 35W wired charging better than what my iPhone 16 Pro Max has right now?

Yes, and I believe I read somewhere that iOS 26 actually improves the charging speed of the 16 Pro/Pro Max models.

The base iPhone 17 looks the best overall in terms of its upgrades and value. Slightly larger screen and finally faster Promotion 120 Hz refresh rate (even without AOD). 8GB RAM will be absolutely fine for vast majority of people, and so will the A18 chip.
