Annoying they no longer use titanium. Dents be back.

Re: iPhone 17 Pro and iPhone 17 Pro Max
#32Surprising there’s no matte-black iPhone 17 Pro - dark, low-reflectance finishes are standard in pro video kit because they minimise specular reflections and stray highlights; keeping a shiny silver finish and skipping a subdued matte black feels like a strange choice and undercuts the “Pro” claim.
put a case on it?

#33I would die for a green Pro Max. I hate how they deal with their colors, where only the consumer ones get the good colors.
My iPhone 11 Pro is the green one from that year. Still a great phone, although I can feel that it's seriously memory constrained. I'm finally ready to upgrade.

#34The lack of a black iPhone 17 Pro... has me dumbfounded. I might skip this year. I'm really happy with the camera features, but there's less differentiation between base iPhone 17 and 17 Pro this go-round. Probably enough for me to still get the Pro, but the iPhone 17 is looking like a pretty cool option this year.
I had to pull my case off to see what color iPhone I had... I'll never buy a white iPhone ever again but anything silver or dark is good with me.
Why is that? White is the best color because it absorbs the least heat when exposed in the sun.

#35Earlier quoted context omitted.
I guess this time the pro really is for pros. The 120hz on the base model is great.
It’s a phone, who or what are those pros that use this in a pro way? And I’m saying this as a pro owner who only got it for the camera, which I use to take casual photos
videographers are the only pro market left.
obvious by the extra storage and additional camera features
Re: iPhone 17 Pro and iPhone 17 Pro Max
#36I thought of upgrading my 3 year old pro, but seeing this there is no reason to. Apple Intelligence is nowhere to be found, extra camera is nice but this design... Oh my god, I know this is subjective, but this is really ugly.
The looks are what they are, but if that wide shelf will mean the phone doesn't wobble when placed on a table, that is a good usability improvement. One of the small things I missed when moving from a Pixel 6 to an iPhone was the ability to not feel compelled to pick it up in order to use it.

#37The march of incremental upgrades year over year from Apple is impressive. I do wish though that there was better competition.
I'm personally totally fine with incremental upgrades. It already does everything I want and it lasts for like 5+ years. I'll get a new one when this one dies and then I had 5 iterations worth of new stuff.
Most of the people in my family and friends have iPhone X, 11, 12, or 13s and run at varying degrees of "dead any day now" and "completely fine" (from old to new, generally).

#38Looks like “8x” zoom on the new Pro model is actually 4x optical plus extra 2x by pixel binning on the 48MP sensor, compared with 5x optical on the last year’s model.

I held on to my 11 pro for a few years extra because I didn’t want to give up that gorgeous green.
