I love my air.

The form factor, huge beautiful bright screen, weight and speed.

I’m doing great on battery, if I am in car, I charge it. When I’m at my desk, I charge it. Set it to 80% from day one.

On the camera, selecting 48 megapixel allows cropping that still looks sharp.

If I really need a good picture, I would bring my Nikon.

My only problem so far is the phone gets lost in my pocket and I panic I lost my phone. Then I feel it and all is well.

Happy with the iPhone 17 Pro, not happy with the number of issues I’m running into with iOS 26. It feels like one of the least QA’d software releases in a very long time.
 
I have the blue tech woven on my orange 17PM and m very happy with it. Used to use leather cases almost exclusively but the tech woven makes me not want to get one
I’ve often used leather too…but the tech woven looks really nice to me. Besides the camera plateau, does the orange show anywhere else?
 
Very happy with my 17 Pro Max, Dark Blue, 1TB. It runs cooler, the screen is brighter and the battery lasts longer. Also, I like the new camera layout for the front.

To put it bluntly the iPhone 17 pro max candy orange is a treat, coming from the 12 pro max gold which was starting to go stale.

In fact the softer (squisher) aluminium body is a delight compared to the sharper edges of the older models.

Oh i nearly forgot, this is the first phone i have had in a long time that does not melt in your pocket.

Very happy with my cosmic orange pro. I love the color, and the sienna tech woven case has become my daily case. Love how it feels.

The 17 pro replaces a 13 pro that I’d really enjoyed. But, it was time for a change. The cameras are a big upgrade. There are features like the Dynamic Island that have been out for a couple of years that I’m just now getting. I love that there’s plenty of ram for smooth function and future, as I’d like to keep this phone for a few years, as well.

Also, I know there have been a lot of people who don’t like the new design of the pro and pro max. But, I do like the bolder look of this new design.
 
Anyone have a tech woven case and are you happy with it? I’m awaiting the arrival of my cosmic orange 17 pro.

Loving my tech woven case. I bought a silicon case and a tech woven. I’m using the sienna color on cosmic orange pro. I didn’t know how I’d feel about the tech woven, but it quickly became my favorite. It not only looks great, but I like the feel of the texture in my hand.
 
Very happy with my Air. Not sure what i'll do next year as I won't want to move back to a brick phone. The modularity is key, I get thin and light 95% of the time when I don't need extended battery, and I just keep the battery in my backpack for the days I do.
 
I love my space black air, I will probably keep this phone a long time. I really, really, love my jetech case too that was a recommendation of this forum. I never would have known about this brand case but it is really affordable and I think it is the best case you can get. It looks really great and fits perfect.
 
I upgrade every year, so I went to a Cosmic Orange 17 Pro Max from my Space Black 16 Pro Max.

I was incredibly disappointed when I realized there was no black option this year, but that will most certainly come back next year.

Regardless, I still fell in love with the Cosmic Orange. Other than that, the iPhone has felt like an actual upgrade for the first time in quite a while. The last time I really felt the upgrade was my 12 Pro -> 13 Pro Max - but even then, it was just size, battery, and display (ProMotion and smaller notch). However, this year, the 17 Pro Max just feels new.

It checked off a lot of boxes for me with new features this year and I have genuinely been enjoying this iPhone so far!
I have unopend orange 17 PM and using 16 PM now. What is the difference? I do not if I should open or sell it as I stikll think there is minor upgrade from my 16PM and a lot of people are like crazy - they offer me huge amount of money to buy it.
 
No problems with my 17 Pro Max.

With any new product you're going to have issues and people who want to say negative things about it.

The phones have only been out over a week. If it works for you then great. If not then I'm sure Apple will sort it out.
