We just need someone to post that they're going to buy two iPhone 17 Pro Maxes because they want two different colours, for the OP to explode 😁
The iPhone 17 is not released yet... there is like 1% of chances of a revolution then I won't explode 😎
 
It isn't even out yet.

Regardless, unless they make a downright terrible product I'm getting a 17 Pro because I want to get my first "pro" iPhone and I currently have a 14 Plus. If the 17 Pro looks awful I'll just keep the 14 Plus and if it looks like just a better 16 Pro I'll get it.
Leaving the Plus and going to Pro was not advantageous for me.
I went from 14+ to 16 Pro.

  • Battery life decreased and have to charge every night.
  • Camera features were disturbingly difficult w/ camera action buttons so I rarely use the camera features. Never used the front camera for selfies, etc...
  • Heavy - weight went up.

Much preferred the 14+ looking back.

That's why this time around I'll be getting the 17 Air.

Yet you've stated so much in this post as "fact".... when you don't know anymore than anyone else.
Why not wait until 18? 🤨
Why not wait until 19, 20, 21 etc...

LET PEOPLE BUY WHAT THEY WANT!

Why not wait until 19, 20, 21? Well that's because with the 18, your phone will surely be more useful... Now there is no real need to get the 17, and when you don't really need it well you don't buy it... Why no need = many upgrades on the 17 are kinda useless while on the 18 it's surely going to be useful + we could get a way better AI at end 2026 ! A real useful AI... meaning it can help so it's a need... Now probably 60% of people upgrading don't need a new iPhone.

If you really want to buy it, you can buy it like I said, I just give my opinion on how you could chose if you purchase or not an iPhone.

Depends what you already have. I am presently using an iPhone 13 so the 17 Pro will be a massive upgrade for me.

Realistically, the 13 does everything I need it to do so if I do purchase a 17 it’ll be because I want it.
 
I have a launch day 15 Pro Max and will be upgrading to the 17 Pro Max. Realistically, my 15 Pro Max could last another year, but my mom wants a newer iPhone since my old 11 Pro Max that I had prior to getting the 15 Pro Max is showing it's age. So I am selling/ giving my 15 Pro Max to my mom and getting the 17 Pro Max.

This guy just doesn't get it and he will never get it. The concern tro__ing for what other people might want is so patronizing.

Done with this thread, y'all enjoy. Peace out! ☮️

There is a feature on this forum that allows you avoiding reading certain posts, but not sure I’m allowed to talk about that here

My Uncle Sal has spent the day today at his local Apple store. Said the vibes are great and everyone is pumped for Tuesday. Even had a cup of coffee with an Apple employee.

Why will the 18 be more useful?
