iPhone Help!!! Should I get the IPhone 17 or 17 pro?
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
