5 reasons to skip the iPhone 16 and wait for the iPhone 17
Apple’s iPhone 17 is already shaping up to be one of the biggest upgrades in years, making the iPhone 16 a bit 'old'. If you’re considering upgrading now, here are five reasons you might want to hold off:
Design refresh coming in 2025 Rumours suggest the iPhone 17 will bring slimmer bezels and a sleeker chassis, while the iPhone 16 looks almost identical to its predecessor.
2/5
Camera upgrades on the horizon The iPhone 16’s camera system is largely incremental. Apple is reportedly saving major sensor and lens improvements for the iPhone 17.
3/5
Performance leap ahead The iPhone 16 will get a modest chip update, but Apple is likely to debut a next-gen A-series processor with bigger efficiency and AI gains in the iPhone 17.
4/5
Longer software relevance Buying the iPhone 17 at launch means you’ll get one extra year of iOS updates compared to buying an iPhone 16 now.
Resale value advantage The iPhone 17 will hold its value longer. Early adopters of the iPhone 16 risk a steeper price drop when Apple shifts focus to its 2025 flagship.
