How can he recommend the 17 instead of the 17 pro
I’m guessing to gave the reasons why in the video, did he not? I don’t plan on giving him more ad revenue or clicks but if you wanted to list the reasons out feel free to do so.

While the 17 is a nice value proposition this year, I wanted the biggest sized screen (6.9”) and so there’s only one option for that. Not to mention that the battery is bigger, the RAM is 12 gb instead of 8 gb, telephoto camera, etc.
 
Yep, that was before it became this bluntly obvious how much overhead there seems to be for on-device AI on iDevices and Macs. You'd think Apple would find a way of sorting it out for 8GB, especially if they can manage to do it in 1GB on a watch if the math co-processor ("neural engine") is good enough. But that might require them to admit that even 13 series iPhones or so are "good enough", and with how well they still seem to handle everything EXCEPT Siri, that might be dangerous for the bottom line.
