Other What iPhone 17 Model & Color Are You Getting?

[Petey07]

Ordered the Air 256gb in Cloud White late morning to pick up on release date. 4-6 hrs later, I went to check again, it was not available to pick up on release date. The other 3 colors are available for pick up (256gb).

Decided to go with White, since I usually get dark color phones, so this time I want something that stands out and "loud". haha.

Got myself the iPhone 17 Pro Max in silver. Was really thinking about going for the orange model - it did look quite cool on the pictures - but thought it might look a bit too much in real life. And while I like blue, I eventually went for classic and good old silver. There’s gonna be a case on it, so ain’t gonna see much of it anyway.

Any reason why you are going with a smaller size?

Difficult to say. Just wanted something else. Too big? No don't think that's the reason. Sometimes.... Orderd the Air because, yeah ALMOST the same, bigger screen. But also orders the normal Pro, because in the end, I want the best camera's.

Why is the iPhone 17 (not Air, not Pro) getting lost in the noise? The press only talks about the Air and the Pro, and the poll in this thread reflects that.

Is the iPhone 17 the "middle child" that gets overlooked by everyone?

iPhone 17 is the old reliable. It will likely sell very well to the masses like the models before it but it's not high profile like the Air or Pros.

The base iPhone is adequate. It does most things well and good enough for most people, but it gets overshadowed by the overkill of the Pro models capabilities and premium perception. Most people want the best, even if they don't need the best. Then comes the Air, its exciting new form factor is a breath of fresh air (pun intended) in a stale lineup. So, while I do believe the base iPhone is slept on, especially last two years, I think it just doesn't stand out enough.
