"The fact that Apple poured so many upgrades into the iPhone 17 was the surprise of the 2025 Apple Event for me. First of all, Apple finally did a major facelift to the iPhone 17's screen technology, kicking it up to 6.3-inches (from 6.1 last year) with thinner bezels, 120Hz ProMotion display, 3000 nits of peak brightness, an anti-reflective coating, and an always-on display."
"I tested the iPhone 17 for 24 hours, and I'm already questioning if I need a Pro I've upgraded my iPhone every year since the first iPhone in 2007 and I've spent hands-on time with all four of this year's iPhone models. And yet, my buying advice this year is wildly different than any other year in the past. And there are several reasons why."
The iPhone 17 base model now offers flagship-level upgrades at $799, including a larger 6.3-inch display with thinner bezels, 120Hz ProMotion, 3000 nits peak brightness, anti-reflective coating, and an always-on display. Camera improvements include a 48MP dual fusion system with 48MP main and 48MP ultrawide sensors, plus a 24MP square selfie sensor that effectively produces 18MP images and can auto-switch orientation. The iPhone 17 Pro and Pro Max have fixed two major prior weaknesses and add advanced features that preview future technology. Many habitual upgraders and typical buyers may find the base model sufficient.
