iPhone 17 Pro Deep Blue 256 GB (Moving from 15 Pro Max 512 GB Silver).
I was already decided to go back to Pro size.. was looking for a Blue to match (like if it would make any difference) my Midnight Macbook and Airpods Max however I don't love this Deep Blue. Silver is not bad but want to change colour..Not sure about orange, I also think I will hate it after some weeks.
I'm also tempted about the Air in light blue but I find the cameras a bit limited (I don't need super amazing cameras but I do use all lenses) and not sure about the battery. I'm thinking in my next trip to Asia and what phone would work best and the answer for me is the Pro (even though carrying a battery pack is not a big deal).

What do you want, a phone that's wearing a diaper (Silver), or a phone that stands out too much (Orange), or something elegant and future-proof (Blue)?
The blue looks nicest out of the box but I don't trust it to not immediately get scuffed up and show little bits of silver beneath it. So... Probably silver, then.
Um... sorry, but I'll pass on it, I am not that stupid to spend £1k on that.
Put a case on it, that is what I am doing immediately when I get mine, my case will be on its way to me by this Monday coming.
There isn't much to think about. What type of person are you? Ehh? Nuts? or Smart?
I’m sticking to my 16 pro. Will wait it out. Although that deep blue colour is very tempting! Will get over my FOMO with a watch purchase! 🤣
Damn indeed, there is just too much ££££ for so much less features, ain't no way Sir!
Trying to decide between the gold and blue Air, leaning towards blue but both the gold and blue are hard to get a feel for through a camera.
I have the natural titanium 16 PM that I like and wonder if the gold has a somewhat similar rear colour since both are quite warm in pictures but the natural titanium is colder IRL.

You're probably right to be honest. I'm now leaning towards the Pro again but I'll have to break the habit of a lifetime and use a case to hide the fugly sticker-style back and that makes me super sad. 😭
I will spend the next 2 days in mental hell then probably flip a coin on Friday and cry myself to sleep for a week, then end up going through a painful return and change of mind process which drags on a few more weeks or something.
I will be sitting out this year. My iPhone 16 Pro Max is perfect. Besides, nine of the three colors call to me.
Needing a bit of advice or suggestion - they mentioned ceramic shield 2 has better anti-reflection, does that mean using a normal screen protector will negate that "feature"? If so, what are decent ones to use? I am not looking to not use a screen protector and I am not overly keen on the privacy ones I see on Amazon that come up with the matte options. Is it the case that the privacy ones are the anti-reflective and that's what I would need to put up with or are there alternatives that are decent?
I went with Benks Glass Warrior for my 17 Pro.
You can other brands like Esr and Torras on Amazon too.
