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.

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

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

pastel colour does not look so nice on a phone actually.

Mine 70++% for long time already.

nice deal. i also want to change the battery for my iphone 14 pro max.

to be fair, it is not fair to judge if the youtubers actually use case or screen protector becos in the video they will never use it, but in real, a lot of them use it.

14 pro series users will have good upgrade if upgrade this year to 17 pro.

1) usb-c
2) more RAM
3) apple intelligence support
4) better camera
5) better battery life...

yes.

Hardware aspect very hard to prevent leak but software wise can.

Dynamic Island was not leaked before the announcement and it does show the creativity of Apple that time.

Another 1 hour to go only.

yes, with AOD somemore and the screen has highest brightness ever at 3000 nits.

to be frank, silver to me is never a 'colour'.

the rest, orange and blue do not look so nice comparing to previous years colours to be frank.

the colour of iphone air looks more atas to be frank.

did i capture the info wrongly? it only has 18MP front camera? while iphone 17/air has 24MP?

ic. ok.

this year pro series really focus on photo and video taking only. Impressive but maybe not very strong motivation to upgrade.

not bad. price not increased in USD.

dun think so. Previous years esim only US models also do not have larger battery.

seriously the colours are not very appealing as higher end pro series.

even iphone air looks more atas, not to mention that it is with shining finishing.

duplicated post.

hope apple slowly makes the rest of countries esim only also. apple can eliminate physical sims from stubborn telcos.

not to mention that battery life is better for esim only models.

this probably also explain why they need to make iphone Air esim only also.

and interesting thing iPhone Air has no number after the model name like the rest of iphone 17 series.

it is not even called iPhone Air 17.
