iPhone 17 No love for the base model?

[rforno]

15pro is driving me mad with the constant overheating or random getting hot. and battery on the 15pro is thrash - how do get through a day with a full battery?

Battery on 17base has been fine for me. Of course I don't have Facebook/Insta/Twitter running all the time and mostly use it for Mastodon, search, and various emails -- I can end the day with 40-50% battery!

The 17 base model is by FAR the best value of the line. It's not even close.

And I say that as someone who owns the 17 Pro for the features, but prefers the form factor of the Air (although I dislike all the drawbacks of the Air).

Traded my brick 16 pro for base 17 and don’t regret it at all.

My base 16 still gets me 2 days of usage (most of the time) after one year of use. The 17, on paper, has even better battery life.
