iPhone 17 Pro vs. iPhone 15 Pro: I compared both models, and here's why it's worth upgrading

Jason Hiner and Nina Raemont/ZDNET Follow ZDNET: Add us as a preferred source on Google. The iPhone 17 series has arrived, and it comes with some pretty substantial upgrades both in terms of design and capabilities. We're talking longer battery life, more onboard memory, a bigger and brighter screen, and an improved camera system. If you've got an iPhone 15 Pro, your device is already two years old. It may look like a good time to spring for the new phone, but how big of an upgrade is the 1

iPhone 17 Pro vs. iPhone 14 Pro: Why I'm upgrading my model after three years of use

zdnet.com Maria Diaz 2025-10-31 18:00:37

Follow ZDNET: Add us as a preferred source on Google. As a current iPhone 14 Pro Max user, I still feel like my three-year-old iPhone gives me everything I need from a smartphone. Sure, it may still have a Lightning Port and no support for Apple Intelligence, but I get around those very minor discomforts by using a MagSafe charger and ChatGPT. Truth be told, the Apple Intelligence features haven't wowed me enough to make me fork over $1,000 on a newer iPhone. Also: iPhone 17 Pro vs. iPhone 15

iPhone Air vs. Samsung S25 Edge: I compared the two ultra-slim phones, and here's the winner

zdnet.com Kerry Wan 2025-10-31 18:30:27

Follow ZDNET: Add us as a preferred source on Google. The market of ultra-thin and lightweight phones is officially at its tipping point, as Apple threw its hat into the ring this month with the new iPhone Air. The newest and arguably most innovative iPhone features the company's slimmest design yet, measuring at around 5.6mm thick. How did the folks at Cupertino achieve such a record? By opting for a smaller battery, fewer cameras, and some design elements that disrupt the norm, especially by

I compared the iPhone 17, iPhone Air, 17 Pro, and 17 Pro Max: Here's the best buy for you

Jason Hiner/ZDNET Follow ZDNET: Add us as a preferred source on Google. Apple's iPhone 17 lineup has finally arrived, bringing four new devices to the table. As expected, the series consists of upgrades to past models such as the iPhone 17, iPhone 17 Pro, and iPhone 17 Pro Max. But this generation is shaking things up by introducing the iPhone Air -- a new addition that Apple says is "the thinnest iPhone ever made." And for the first time in several generations, there will not be a "Plus" mode

I'm a long-time iPhone Pro user, but I'm seriously considering the Air for these reasons

Jason Hiner/ZDNET Follow ZDNET: Add us as a preferred source on Google. The iPhone "Pro" label has always represented the bleeding edge of Apple's industrial design. This year, I'm second-guessing if that philosophy still holds true in Cupertino. Going into Apple's Awe-dropping event earlier this month, my attention was reserved for the iPhone 17 Pro and 17 Pro Max, both of which were expected to feature a new vapor chamber cooling system -- resolving a longstanding issue of overheating on Pr

This photo of the iPhone 17 Pro Max in Cosmic Orange was taken with the telephoto lens on an iPhone 17 Pro Max. Jason Hiner/ZDNET The idea of "tyranny of choice" says that having a set of good choices is supposed to let everyone find exactly what makes them most happy, but the reality is that having so many good choices can often lead to anxiety, indecisiveness, and discontent. If we apply this concept to the iPhone 17 lineup, then Apple is quite the tyrant this year. After all, the base model
