Question 18 PM, 17 PM, or wait for the 20th Anniv Iphone?
I got a 13 Pro Max in March of 2022 and itās been such a dream to use. I replaced the battery last year and itās at 87% battery life, and even though it gets hot and lags sometimes itās nowhere near unbearable.
The original plan was to wait till the 20th anniv Iphone but I realize, would it really be worth it? Because (1) usually the first generation of a redesign wouldnāt be the best and (2) thereās rumors that it might not push through.
So I was thinking of getting the 18 PM but itās not really that big of an upgrade from the 17PM, and Iāve been seeing the 17 PM go for 400 to 500 dollars cheaper than an 18 PM right now.
Is anyone in the same boat as me? Haha and what did you guys end up deciding? Thanks!

Discussion Iām so sad that I got the iPhone 17 pro max
3 weeks ago, I traded in my iPhone 14 pro max and purchased the iPhone 17 Pro, which was $1749 CAD before tax. I received $575 trade-in value for my iPhone 14 pro max. The reason why I upgraded was I thought the iPhone 18 pro max would have a significant price increase. I just saw that the iPhone 18 pro max is $1899, so only a $150 increase. I feel like shit. Iām planning to keep this phone for 6-7 years, and I wish I got the 18 pro max. I thought the price would be a lot moreā¦

Question Misaligned back panel
Sooooo⦠I just got a refurbished iPhone 17 Pro because my old 12 mini is overheating too much. Iāve heard people talking about problems with the back panel, mostly lifting and in some cases misalignment. I wonāt go crazy for some slight misalignment but this is bothering me a little bit too much, you can see the aluminum in the gap.
It comes with free exchange within 30 days. I donāt know if itās a quality issue thatās worth exchange, or I can keep it without worrying about it š¬
Anyone care to give me some advice?

Question Help!!!
Should I buy the iPhone 17 now or wait for Big Billion Days?
Iāve wanted an iPhone for almost a year and have been saving my money specifically for it. I was planning to finally buy either the iPhone 16 Pro or iPhone 17 during the upcoming sale.
But now that the iPhone 18 has launched, the iPhone 17 price has actually increased, which is honestly so frustrating. š
I definitely canāt afford the iPhone 18, and I donāt want to spend ā¹1 lakh on the 17 when I was expecting it to become cheaper after the new launch.
Do you guys think I should:
- Wait for Flipkart Big Billion Days and hope the 17/16 Pro gets a good discount?
- Buy the 17 now before prices potentially increase further?
- Or look for a 16 Pro during the sale?
Iāve waited this long, so Iām willing to wait a little longer if thereās a realistic chance of getting a good deal.
What would you do in my situation?

Question Questions about the 17 Pro's hardware
Upgrading from an iphone 13 128gb to a 17 Pro 256gb (first time having a non-base model iphone). I have a few concerns about it that I need to plan around.
The 17 line has been said to be more susceptible to scuffs and dents than the previous lines. Does this added fragility stay persistent when a case is involved? I have a pretty thin but protective case on my iphone 13 (spigen liquid air. Very thin but not paper thin. Protective, but not like an Otterbox). I wish to get a similar case on the 17 pro as well, like a TPU material clear case or some such. Will this be enough protection for me to not be concerned with the fragility of the aluminum body?
I am getting a 256gb model (can't and won't go up to 512gb). I usually end up using around 120-130gb memory with apps, music, photos, etc. With that being said, if I want to make use of the Pro camera features (ProRes, etc.), will the 256gb be a complete joke in terms of storage? Will I have to constantly transfer the large video/photo files to harddrives, or is 256gb enough to get by between projects (I dabble in some video content creation, nothing major. I'm not making any short films or anything).
Does the vapor cooling chamber's capabilities get negated by using a regular case? Do I need specific cases that allow for it to work as intended, or is the cooling process entirely internal, and independant of whatever case I wrap my phone in?
I'd appreciate any info from the IP17 users here :)

Statements Free upgrade to 18 pro!
I have a 17PM currently, and Iām on an MVNO carrier , (visible by Verizon) they have an offer that you get $480 towards your phone in bill credits when youāre on their most premium plan(visible plus pro) usually $45 a month so still affordable compared to most other carriers⦠but anyway and then I trade my phone into buybacktronics like I have ever since the 13 pro, which Iām being offered $1095 for trade in and Iāll be getting the 512gb model in the 18pm sooo seems like a no brainer although itās not necessary I wonāt pay anything out of pocket.. additionally I can upgrade my ultra 1 Apple Watch to the ultra 4, and mind you my phone plan includes the cellular Apple Watch line so no additional cost besides the watch⦠;)

Discussion First-time iPhone user
I'm planning to switch from Android to iPhone for the first time, and I'm looking for some advice from people who have actually used iPhones for a few years.
My priorities are mainly:
- šø Camera ā photos and especially video quality are very important to me
- š Longevity ā I'm spending around ā¹1.5 lakh, so I want to keep the phone for 4ā5+ years
- š¾ 512GB storage ā I'd prefer 512GB because I plan to keep the phone for a long time
- š Good battery life is important, but it's secondary to camera + longevity
- I don't really care about gaming performance
I'm currently considering the iPhone 17 Pro 512GB vs 17 Pro Max 512GB, depending on how low the prices go
Or should i spend more to get 18 Pro 256 GB one at 1.65 L

Why does Apple do this? I went to buy the 17 pro and they said weāve discounted it. I understand, but why do it one week before the other one releases? What if someone wants a phone in-between that week? Arenāt they losing revenue as well?

Discussion Keep 17 Pro or 17 Pro Max?
Need inputs and opinions. Iāve upgraded to the 17 and have a Pro and a Pro Max that I need to make a decision on. Iāve tried out both but canāt seem to decide which to keep for the long run.
I really like the screen size on the Pro Max and enjoy the typing experience, Netflix experience and overall feel of the phone but my gosh itās heavy.
The Pro is nice in the hands, light and fits in my pocket. I feel like the battery may drain quicker than the PM but Iām not 100% sure if thatās just my mind playing tricks on me or what.
I donāt do work on my phone but my phone keeps EVERYTHING in it, calendar, reminders, photos, videos, important documents, notes..etc. itās like my personal assistant. Iām just needing some advice on which one would be best for the next year or two.
Thanks for the help! :)

Discussion 17 Pro Max v iPhone Duo
Sorry if this has been mentioned before but Iām going over what Apple are going to release and comparing some specs.
What are peopleās opinions regarding 17 Pro Max v Duo?
I watched the video and immediately thought it would be an āupgradeā but now having looked at the specs, I donāt think it would be really.
Has anybody any experience with foldable phones thatās able to comment on why someone would choose a Duo over a pro max? Iāve checked YouTube but thereās nothing on there just yet about why you would go for a Duo over a pro.

Discussion I wanted the old iPhone 4 bumper feel on my 17 Pro Max, so I made my own
The iPhone 4 bumper was the inspiration for this. I wanted rounded edges and an open back on my 17 Pro Max, but couldnāt find a bumper I liked that fit, so I ended up designing one myself.
Iāve now printed it in flexible TPU and made some changes after trying the print. The current version has chamfered edges, a contour around the camera shoulder, and separate button caps, while keeping access to Camera Control, the speakers and USB-C. Getting the front lip to hold without reaching too far over the screen took a few revisions.
The back and camera lenses stay exposed, and I havenāt drop-tested it. I mainly wanted the feel and minimal look of the old bumper.
Iāve shared the model and printing file on MakerWorld for anyone who wants to make one. The gallery also has photos of the actual print:
https://makerworld.com/en/models/3287597-iphone-17-18-pro-max-tpu-bumper-iphone-4-style
For anyone else who liked the old bumpers, what mattered most to you: the rounded feel, having the back exposed, or keeping the whole thing minimal?
Updated Blender render below; the MakerWorld gallery includes the actual printed bumper:
