I’ve been using the new iPhone 17 for a little over a week, and this year Apple gave the standard model some huge upgrades that make it feel more Pro than ever. From the new 6.3-inch OLED display with 120Hz ProMotion, to Ceramic Shield 2 with insane scratch resistance, to the new 48MP Ultra Wide camera and big jump in battery life, the iPhone 17 is a massive improvement over last year’s iPhone 16.
In this video, I’ll break down what’s new, what’s actually better in day-to-day use, and how it compares directly to the iPhone 16 after a week of real-world testing. Should you upgrade? Let’s find out.
