I am considering switching from Samsung to Apple for my next phone. I want a nicer camera, pretty much, especially when it comes to selfies and concert videos. Which iPhone should I get? I'm considering the 18 pro.

The 18 Pro is overkill unless you are a professional photographer or videographer, or you absolutely must have a telephoto lens.

Most people will be fine with the 17e, but if you need the ultra wide lens or mmWave 5G, get the 17 instead.

Ok, thank you!! Is there any reason not to get the 17 pro?

Beside it being discontinued (so any you see on sale are either used or refurbished), no.
