The iPhone 17 looks great, but I’d still choose the Pixel 10 over it

Robert Triggs / Android Authority At first, I wasn’t sure how to feel about the iPhone 17. To me, all of the leaks pointed towards another year of the same old, same old. But then, Apple unveiled its base-level flagship, and it had some tricks up its sleeve. It gave the base iPhone 17 a 120Hz refresh rate, an updated chipset, and doubled its base storage — not to mention a 48MP ultrawide camera. And you know what? Those are all significant upgrades. They’ll make the iPhone 17 Apple’s best yet.
