However, if you want to know the little things about the iPhone 17, here are 5 reasons to buy the device and 1 reason you can skip it.

Wow 1: Finally, a 120Hz display

For years, we’ve complained that the base iPhone was stuck with a 60Hz display, while even mid-range phones came with 120Hz panels. This year, it seems Apple has finally listened, with the iPhone 17 supporting ProMotion displays. The upgraded display makes the user experience more intuitive, and you’ll feel this immediately if you’re upgrading from an older iPhone.

Jai 2: Impressive performance

iPhones have definitely been ahead of Android flagships for years in terms of performance. The iPhone 17 takes things a step further with the A19 chipset. While the iPhone 17 Pro models get the A19 Pro, the A19 processor is more powerful. The device can handle multitasking and long gaming sessions with ease.

Yay 3: Center Stage Selfie Camera

This year, Apple introduced the new center stage selfie camera. This allows you to take group selfies in landscape mode without the need to rotate your device. The iPhone 17 uses the same 18-megapixel selfie shooter as the more expensive Pro models. Thus, you can easily get Instagram-worthy shots with the iPhone 17.

WoW 4: Solid Battery

While Apple doesn’t mention the battery capabilities of the iPhones, the iPhone 17 promises all-day battery life. During our usage, the device lasted for around 11 hours of average usage, which is impressive.

Additionally, the vanilla iPhone finally gets support for 40W wired charging. It can get your device from 0 to 50 percent in about 20 minutes. However, you will have to purchase an adapter separately.

Jay 5: Pro without the name Pro

Overall, the iPhone 17 is a solid package. This device can do almost everything you would expect from a flagship device. This makes the iPhone 17 one of the best vanilla iPhones in years, as the company has finally covered up the vulnerabilities. For a typical user, the iPhone 17 has a lot to offer.

No: lacks telephoto

While the iPhone 17 ticks almost all the right boxes, it lacks one – a telephoto camera. At a time when most Android flagships come with triple rear cameras, the iPhone 17 sticks to 2 – a 48-megapixel main and a 48-megapixel ultrawide. If you’re someone who takes a lot of photos, you’ll miss the telephoto.
