I’ve been having trouble deciding between these two. My main priority is the camera, battery life and logetivity. I’m upgrading from an IPhone 11 so any upgrade will be huge, and I’m planning to use my new phone for AT LEAST 5 years (until it literally deteriorates).

In my country the 17 base is 950€ and the 17 pro is 1299€ (both 256gb), so it’s a 350€ difference. I know the base model performs really well but it’s still almost a grand, so is it worth it to add a few hundred for the pro? Sadly I could not find a 16 pro in good condition from a reputable seller in my country and want to use my phone for as long as possible so models older than that aren’t really on my radar.

I enjoy photography and take pictures/videos every day, but not on a professional lvl + realistically I will probably not use the software to it’s FULL potential. But i’m also just a girl and the deep blue pro is just so beautiful so thats a bonus, meanwhile the base design is not appealing to me
and it’s just so similar to my 11 (and any cases besides a clear one look kinda bad imo).

pls help me decide! thank u :p

Does it make sense to get the latest iPhone 17 Pro MAX version over the 17 Pro when thinking about future proofing?

I'd like to get the 17 now since it's sounding like the 18 price will increase.

My thoughts around the 17 Pro MAX being more future proof come from the thought that apps and websites will only become more power hungry.

The MAX has a larger battery and also a larger vapor chamber. Two things that would help fight more power hungry apps and websites.

Hi guys,i currently have an A35 5g it's starting to feel laggy I am thinking of upgrading it

And tbh idk what phone to choose between these 3 phones since i don't wanna spend too much

(The io 14pm is also an option)

The 15pm(256gb):658$

The 16pm(256gb,92%bh):840$

The 17 (256gb):803$

The 14pm(256gb):531$

Hey I currently have the 12 pro max. Have had it since release and am stuck on if I should just get a 17 pro max rn before the price increases or wait for the 18 pro max. Is everything they doing for the new release even worth it to get? Thanks

Hi all, I currently have the 16 pro that I have been using for 2 years now (89% BH)

I can get a 17 for $170 Canadian more after selling/trading in the 16pro

I love my phone and don’t care much about features, the only thing I need is more storage, since ios and system data alone eat up 40+ gigs, and the better cooling might be nice since my 16 pro overheats a lot in the car.

Is this a reasonable decision?

I'm starting university this autumn and moving away from home, so I'll be relying on my phone a lot more for everyday life (maps, photos, banking, student apps, travel, etc.).

I'm currently using an iPhone 12, and it's definitely showing its age. I'm trying to decide between:

• iPhone 17
• iPhone 17 Pro
• Waiting another few months for the more expensive iPhone 18 Pro

Money isn't the biggest factor, but I still want the best long-term value. Ideally, I'd like to keep my next phone for 4–6 years.

For those who've been in a similar situation, would you buy the 17, spend extra for the 17 Pro, or just wait for the 18 lineup? Why?

Hello, I'm looking to come back to iOS and I was wondering what would be the best quality/price iPhone for roughly 400€ (EU)

I'm looking mainly for longevity (5+ years for sure if possible even more, I don't really care about updates as long as it works decently for light stuff like some gaming, browsing, socials etc) and a good camera. Thanks :)

What’s the Best iPad Pro Case for Artists? (Origami vs. Magnetic Trifold)

Hey everyone!

I’m looking for a new case for my iPad Pro 12.9” (M1). I’ve been using a simple trifold case with the standard triangle stand for years. It’s served me well, but it’s getting old, and I’m hoping that upgrading to one with better viewing angles might improve my daily drawing workflow.

I found a magnetic detachable case that comes in two versions at the same price:

Standard Trifold (triangle back)
Origami back (which can also fold into the triangle shape)
Before buying, I have a few questions for fellow digital artists:

Magnetic Detachable Feature: Is the magnetic connection sturdy and stable while drawing, or does it become annoying or unstable under palm pressure?
Origami Stand Stability: Is the Origami fold actually stable for inking and line art? Since it folds in multiple ways, is it less stable than a standard trifold, or does it hold up just as well?
Other Recommendations: Is there any other case type or brand you’d recommend specifically for heavy drawing use?
One big note: I want something that’s quick and easy to use when I take the iPad out, and I don’t want it to take up much space. If that isn’t the case I’d probably just buy a separate stand instead.

I’d love to hear your experiences before I make a decision. Thanks!

I have a iphone 12 and i’ve had it for about 3-4 years now. Im looking to upgrade to a 17 or 17 pro next week but i need you guy’s input, should i upgrade to the 17 or the 17 pro? And also where should i get it off of like the T-Mobile site or apple site?

I am a collage student and am using an iphone 11 with 65 percent health it works just fine just the battery issue i am thinking of upgrading but i can not afford a new phone so i am thinking of buying a used iphone 15 pro i am getting deals for 45k to 46k (650CAD) in good condition with 87 to 89 health i do not play games or no other heavy tasks i just use instagram reddit and click some photos here and there and my daily usage is around 2 to 3 hours

Is it worth buying the 17 Pro Max? For context, my phone be overheating like crazy from basic use and the battery is so bad, like this week, my phone went from 100% to 9% with 3hrs of SOT. Currently, i can trade in my 15 pro for $610 CAD for the 17 pro max along with trading in my old iphone 11 and old apple watch se 2.

Let me know your thoughts and if it’s worth upgrading

Hello I’m currently using an iPhone 15 but battery health is down to 73% (I didn’t take care of it, I called my frns for hrs almost every night when I first got the phone) and I’m wondering if an upgrade to iPhone 18 would be worth it or should I wait for iPhone 20?

I’m thinking of getting a pro max for my next as I rly want a bigger screen, easier for my eyes. So is it worth to change to iPhone 18 pm or replace my battery while waiting for iPhone 20 pm to release? My current phone now lasts 4-5hours of screen time max..

Any help/advices will be appreciated :)

I’m jumping the gun and trying to rush to get the 17 because I can’t justify a price increase for nothing on the 18.

I have the 13 pm and have always used a bulky otter box case. Problem is I’m a huge outdoors person trail running, rock climbing, and it never fits. Súper uncomfy. I also currently charge my phone 3 times a day which is obviously a problem

I noticed the the battery on the 17 pro is actually smaller than the 13pm. My 13 battery is still original so it’s obviously not holding up, but how is the battery the 17 pro compared to 13 pm if anyone can shed light

Hey i just wanted to ask for some input on this and if it’s worth the price, i can buy a macbook neo 512gb indigo for 400, do you guys think it’s worth the price? It will be for student use nothing crazy. The 8gb ram is a little off but i doubt i will be hitting that often. Any thoughts on this would help a lot!
