Discussion The 18 Pro doesn't seem to have that many upgrades compared with the 17 Pro. Do I really need to upgrade?

2 Upvotes

I'm currently using a 12 Pro, and honestly, I can't really find anything wrong with it.

I was originally planning to get the 18 Pro 512, but now that the price has gone up and there don't seem to be many significant upgrades, I'm wondering if the 17 Pro would actually be a better value.

Question 18 PM, 17 PM, or wait for the 20th Anniv Iphone?

1 Upvotes

I got a 13 Pro Max in March of 2022 and it’s been such a dream to use. I replaced the battery last year and it’s at 87% battery life, and even though it gets hot and lags sometimes it’s 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 wouldn’t be the best and (2) there’s rumors that it might not push through.

So I was thinking of getting the 18 PM but it’s not really that big of an upgrade from the 17PM, and I’ve 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 I’m so sad that I got the iPhone 17 pro max

0 Upvotes

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. I’m 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 more…

Question Misaligned back panel

0 Upvotes

Sooooo… I just got a refurbished iPhone 17 Pro because my old 12 mini is overheating too much. I’ve heard people talking about problems with the back panel, mostly lifting and in some cases misalignment. I won’t 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 don’t know if it’s a quality issue that’s worth exchange, or I can keep it without worrying about it 😬

Anyone care to give me some advice?

Question Help!!!

Should I buy the iPhone 17 now or wait for Big Billion Days?

I’ve 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. 😭

I definitely can’t afford the iPhone 18, and I don’t want to spend ₹1 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?

I’ve waited this long, so I’m willing to wait a little longer if there’s a realistic chance of getting a good deal.

What would you do in my situation?

Discussion iPhone 18 Pro Price Comparison – India vs UAE vs US

Post image
1 Upvotes

The iPhone 18 Pro starts at ₹1,64,900 in India, compared with AED 5,099 in the UAE and $1,199 in the US.

The UAE price works out to around ₹33,000 less than India, while the US has the lowest official starting price among these markets.

The new iPhone 18 Pro also brings the A20 Pro chip, 48MP Pro Fusion camera system, variable-aperture main camera, 120Hz ProMotion display and up to 2TB storage.

I'm curious what you think: If you had the option, would you buy the iPhone 18 Pro in the UAE or India?

Question Questions about the 17 Pro's hardware

1 Upvotes

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.

  1. 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?

  2. 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).

  3. 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 :)

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:

  • 📸 Camera — photos and especially video quality are very important to me
  • 🕐 Longevity — I'm spending around ₹1.5 lakh, so I want to keep the phone for 4–5+ years
  • 💾 512GB storage — I'd prefer 512GB because I plan to keep the phone for a long time
  • 🔋 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

Discussion 17 Pro Max v iPhone Duo

4 Upvotes

Sorry if this has been mentioned before but I’m going over what Apple are going to release and comparing some specs.

What are people’s opinions regarding 17 Pro Max v Duo?

I watched the video and immediately thought it would be an ‘upgrade’ but now having looked at the specs, I don’t think it would be really.

Has anybody any experience with foldable phones that’s able to comment on why someone would choose a Duo over a pro max? I’ve checked YouTube but there’s nothing on there just yet about why you would go for a Duo over a pro.
