iPhone 17 might seem like the most boring model this year, but it’s a silent winner

9to5mac.com Michael Burkhardt 2025-09-29 08:40:00

Apple wrapped it its ‘Awe dropping’ launch event for the new iPhone models, Apple Watches, and AirPods Pro 3 yesterday. While the new iPhone Air and iPhone 17 Pro are much more interesting – I think the base model iPhone 17 will actually end up being a sleeper hit. Here’s why. iPhone 17 inherits the ‘Pro’ display experience In many ways, the iPhone 17 is an iPhone 16 Pro without a telephoto camera, but $300 cheaper. An iPhone 16 Pro 256GB would cost $1099, and now an iPhone 17 256GB costs just

Apple truly hit it out of the park with the base iPhone 17, making it one of the companies best value iPhone models in quite some time. With how many incredible upgrades there are on iPhone 17, it actually makes a comparison to last year’s iPhone 16 Pro model more interesting than you’d expect.

Rita El Khoury / Android Authority TL;DR An Android Authority teardown has uncovered just how Quick Share will work for iPhones. Android owners can share a QR code with iPhone users to let them download files. However, files shared with iPhone users via Quick Share will first be uploaded to the cloud and retained for 24 hours. We’ve known since last year that Google is working on bringing Quick Share to iOS and MacOS. We recently discovered more evidence of the feature coming to iPhones, as

Apple recently announced its latest iPhone 17, 17 Pro, and iPhone Air models – and as we’ve seen, the base iPhone 17 gained a plethora of upgrades that have made it quite a compelling package. That begs the question, does a 2 year old ‘Pro’ iPhone still have a leg up, or should you just go with the new base model iPhone 17?

For the first time, iPhone 17 Pro truly feels deserving of the ‘Pro’ moniker

9to5mac.com Michael Burkhardt 2025-09-30 14:32:20

Apple introduced the Pro moniker for iPhones six years ago with the iPhone 11 lineup. However, with the iPhone 17 lineup in particular – it feels like Apple truly developed a professional iPhone for the first time. I’ll explain. ‘Pro’ is no longer just flashy First things first, this year’s iPhone 17 Pro is no longer the flashy model, unlike previous Pro iPhones. With this years switch from Titanium to Aluminum, the iPhone 17 Pro simply uses the same material as the standard iPhone 17 model.

PSA: You’ll need a new charger to take advantage of iPhone 17 Pro’s fast charging

With the iPhone 17 Pro and iPhone 17 Pro Max, Apple announced that they’ll be capable of charging even faster than previous iPhone models: up to 50% in just 20 minutes. While that is true, it’s thanks to a brand new USB-PD specification, which isn’t widely available on the market yet.
