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.
I just think the pro isn’t worth the money anymore. I went to pro starting on14,but am trading in 16 pro for 17. I’m tired of carrying bricks around. Just my .02.
 
I mean it's fine for most people, but if you ever connect your phone to do a backup or offload photos, the USB 3.0 support of Pro-model USB C iPhones is very helpful. It's hard to go back from that. Plus you lose the telephoto lens.
 
blue looks good if case-free, you put any color cases on it would look boring. orange on the other hand looks too flashy and loud without cases, but looks absolutely amazing with any colored cases due to its striking contrast of color. my local Apple store has both blue and orange for pickup this weekend, i've placed an order for the blue, but still deciding whether to change to orange. i'm a 48 year old guy by the way.
