iPhone 17 The iPhone 17 thread

[Ralfi]

This model is already looking like the black sheep of the 2025 lineup. I can’t see one thread about it!

My question is regarding the main camera Zooms.

It seems there’s a discrepancy in Apple’s specs - one line doesn’t mention 5x Optical Zoom when another does.

So does this model have 5x Optical zoom or not?

It’s the model the vast majority of people will buy after all is said and done over the next 12 months.

There is no 5x optical zoom. It’s a typo.

I honestly think the 17 is by far the best bang for your buck for all the new phones.

Ahh that's disappointing. But at least it gets Macro. That'll come in handy for me.

Looks good. I guess the Plus model phones didn't sell well enough, so Apple replaced it with an inferior specced model thinking the weight/screen will have the same appeal. They've tried to merge the Plus & Mini in one. It's a mutation that may or may not work...

17 is the star of the new iPhone lineup for me. That's why I choosed it after having always Pro models (expect one time I had a plus, was a good phone but really to big for me)

Those camera zooms on the Pro though 😭

If I had the option, the smaller Pro is my ideal 17, but the 17 will have to do.

Yeah. If the regular 17 had wide+telephoto, I wouldn't bother going for the Pro.

The regular 17 is an especially great value this year.
