I was expecting to finally upgrade my 13 Pro this year. But though all the new iPhones seem to be decent handsets they all seem to have drawbacks compared to my 13 Pro.
The Pro handsets don’t seem to be as durable as my 13 Pro model which has very little damage on it except scuffing around the camera lens. In spite of being almost four years old, never had a case on it, and dropped quite a few times. I doubt the 17 Pro would manage that. Plus according to the speaker tests on GSM Arena it doesn’t have as good a speaker performance as my 13 Pro.
The Air seems nice but I worry about its size and compromises on camera and speaker.
The base 17 seems good value but seems to have a bad screen if you suffer from PWM issues like me.
Overall though I’ve not come to a final decision I might just keep my 13 Pro another year especially now it has a new battery.
