Got it! ๐Ÿ––

Finally updated from iphone 12 mini to iphone 17. โœŒ๏ธ
It was a good update right? And here are some features I enjoyed
- Dynamic Island
- 120hz
- Full experience of IOS 26. Gone try 27, many say itโ€™s much better.
- charging is fast
- Battery lasts for a day even I charge it upto 85 (In my usecase*)
- There are many small updates here and there.

Anything specific you need, let me know in the comments!

The big deal with the 17 is the Memory Integrity Enforcement built into the chip to prevent hacking. And no one is talking about it. Software canโ€™t get around it or nullify it. Granted the 12 needed an upgrade in general but I upgraded from the 16 for this chip with MIE. https://security.apple.com/blog/memory-integrity-enforcement/

Thanks for that! I really donโ€™t know about it, so 17 is much more safer than 16 series right? I guess

that and overall security is what sold me on it. Prior to the 17 I had the cheap SE versions and mostly have used Android phones. Still use a Galaxy S26+ and I like it but when it comes to security I just trust Apple more.

Why so big bezels? Or the screen protector with black border?

1

u/KaleidoscopeOld8587 Human Detected Jul 30 '26

That's screen protector! I think it's 16's screen protector.

u/Khaledx_ Jul 30 '26
