iPhone 17 regular 16 to regular 17 experience

[c.s.]

Thing I've enjoyed the most so far:
Always-on screen. It's great to be able to glance at the phone on the table to see the time or what notifications I have.
More grippy. I don't know why, but the white iPhone 17 is not as slippery as the black 16. The back has a really nice feel to it.
Selfie cam for FaceTime. My wife and I often FaceTime together on the couch to our son. The phone can automatically put us both in the frame, and that's really convenient.
Speed. It's noticeably faster than the 16! Seems blazing.
The added screen size isn't very noticeable. Width feels the same but it is just a hair taller. Weight is about the same.

noticeably faster?

Interesting as the 17 pro max speed improvements are barely discernible compared to the 15 pro max

iOS 26 does have slightly faster animations and with the high refresh rate ProMotion display it may feel faster.
