Anyone interested in the new iPhone 17?

[R2D2]

I see it has an onscreen display now just like the Pro’s on previous gen’s, nice feature to have on the cheaper model. Some people are saying the iPhone 17 is as good as the iPhone 17 Pro, which is interesting. What are your thoughts on it? I may have a look at it in Costco today to see what I think.

I’ve got an iPhone 12 but, I’m waiting for 18 or 19 before upgrading.

I think I will wait until the iPhone 21. 🙂

The price of the IPhone 17 was £778 in store at Costco today. Couldn’t really see how it was different because it was locked in a case. Apparently you need an eSIM too, that’s me waiting then for the iPhone 21.

I can’t believe I joined this forum when I was 28! Seems like yesterday…

I have nearly qualified for all of mine, but will have to wait a while to get it. 🙂

I’m on a 13 mini, which is increasingly hard for me to read, and the battery runs down much more quickly, despite careful app settings. They seem to hover around 80% battery, the threshold where Apple will replace them.

It’s still worth about £170px which is worthwhile discount on a 17.

Nice one! I am looking forward to it too. 🙂

I had the iPhone 13 mini and traded it in for the iPhone 14 Pro and got £300 for it at the Apple shop.

The iPhone 17 does look good.

12 years for me, although they might have moved the goal posts again by the time I reach 67.

I reckon it will be 70 by the time I get there! 🙂

I heard talk of 74 being necessary by about 2050.
(They might as well round it up to 90, think how much they'll save 🤨)

I stick with my 12 for now never get them when they first come out or on contract. Prefer to spend that money on something hifi related.

Actually I think I got that figure slightly wrong - opps! 79 is right. 🙂

Not interested in it or the features, but I ordered a 17 at the weekend. The battery of my 14 only lasts a few hours with use now & I do a lot of my work via my phone.

thats the only thing is battery life dont charge them more than 80% to extend battery life.
