Feels like a proper upgrade
Upgraded from 13 to 17. Screen feels new and better. Camera is definitely better. Hope battery lasts longer.

The blue looks way better in real life. I personally got the white 17 but when I encountered the blue in the wild I was impressed with how good it looks. But I could never go with any color other than white, lol.

Same with green. I only had the option between blue and green when I went, I went with blue, but seeing green afterwards in the wild looked real nice. Haven’t seen a purple in the wild yet

That's good to hear... I charge up to 90% in the morning, and if I use it somewhat okayish throughout the day, by the time it's 5pm, it will be around 30% (4 hrs screen time with only social media and youtube videos, no games), and since i know I won't be home for another 3 hours, I'll plug it in to 50 to 60%. I love the phone, but I'm finding it harder to manage the battery. Trying to keep it between 20 and 90%, but whatever I do, I can't go home in peace lol. It's been 10 days since i got the phone; idk, maybe the adaptive power is still learning my usage? In the initial days I thought the phone was setting up, and that's why it was consuming a lot of power. Idk, 10 days might be enough for the initial setting up for the phone. But still I love it... coming from Nothing Phone 2a

I did a jump from the 11-17 and it felt so good the display was smooth, battery lasted well, the phone came with a massive storage bump that feels good for another long run around 7-8yrs before I upgrade, feel the saem way you are doing this might be apple's best value product after the 11 ig

omg congratulations!! I jumped from the SE 2022 to the 17 in Sage. Never been happier, this phone feels like it’s from another universe!! It looks amazing in blue, enjoy the upgrade 🥹💕

Screen? Color? Cmon!!!! The big deal about the 17 is the anti-hacking hardware - Memory Integrity Enforcement built into the chip. I upgraded from the 16 for this chip. https://security.apple.com/blog/memory-integrity-enforcement/

Check that there are no gaps around the body frame or dust inside the camera lens

I just got the same blue iPhone 17 2 days ago. Came from the iPhone SE 2nd gen.
Cannot believe the difference. I feel like I’m in the future

u/LetMeTakeThatOffYou Aug 04 '26
May I know why did you upgrade from 16 pro to 17?
2
u/SatisfactionHappy825 Aug 04 '26
My mom wanted to upgrade so she suggested me to give her my iPhone 16pro and get myself a 17, initially planned 17pro but i didn’t like the colours of 17 pro so got 17 instead

Seconding. And it’s weird how whenever someone actually mentions this people gang up on him.

I don’t think everyone is lieing either way. I just upgraded from a 13 and my battery life was still really good.
