iPhone 16 Pro → 17 Pro (same $1,099 for 256 GB tier)

Storage: 128 GB dropped, now starts at 256 GB.

Display: Brighter (3,000 nits), tougher Ceramic Shield 2 glass.

Cameras: 48 MP across all lenses, 8× optical zoom, new ProRes RAW / Dual Capture.

Performance: A19 Pro chip + vapor cooling, faster sustained speeds.

Battery: +6 hrs video playback, 50% charge in ~20 min.

Design: New aluminum build, N1 chip with Wi-Fi 7 / BT 6.

Bottom line: 17 Pro packs more storage, brighter display, huge camera and battery gains, plus stronger performance — at the same effective starting price.

should be upgrade to 12gb of RAM for all model to prepare for the Apple Intelligence 2.0

Current 16 pro only 8gb rite? That will be quite a big jump if up to 12gb.

yes , this might be the reason why the current apple intelligence isnt agressive enough , hope to see more complete package when introduce the 12gb ram

Apple Intelligence so far has been a joke.
Even WWDC they also toning it down.

I forgot about its existence to be honest.

Has the Apple AI been fully launched yet ?

past April's Fool wor....

what i read somewhere is 45W. but seriously i highly doubt that either one is true.

Some website also mentioned 45w but i must say might be just a rumors

following

better tonning down lor to avoid same mistake... promise but not delivering.... later kena sue.

hope it increases its battery capacity that is one of the important criteria that i would consider this upgrade

Pro Max rumored to get biggest battery ever for Apple. I hope Pro gets a battery bump as well. I’m eyeing the Pro due to the 12GB RAM, vapor chamber & redesign to alu.

Frankly the Ti on 16 Pro lineup doesn’t appeal to me. A bit too heavy since I use the device to read a lot.

I’ll admit the Ti finished desert titanium looks good. I’ve owned and handled desert titanium, black and natural 16PM. Not particularly attracted to it. Swapped back to 15 due to form factor and weight. 16 Pro weight like a brick for not much more screen versus plain 15 so nope.

This will be my first Pro purchase on launch day. If they don’t mess up the battery. I would consider the plain 17 if it has A19 + 12GB Ram, but it’s based on iPhone 16 design, so I guess I’ll swing for Pro.

Or if it doesn’t appeal again I’ll just stick with my 15. I feel Apple need to do more… moving the logo down is not a feature I care about…

Ok, watched some YT on iphone 17 and 18... I think I'll hold and wait for the 18 instead lol. or maybe i'll butt itchy and get 17 pro to play with maybe 3 months post launch.

Bigger battery also "can" translate into more power hungry chip, since Apple is not that kind to bump up the power just to give user more Juice.

At least a newer design, I'm more interested on what's under the Camera Casing. Judging from all the leaks we have to date, we unsure the camera specification.

What only 45W !? I need at least 100W !
