iPhone 17 launching in a week: 3 reasons to look forward to it, 2 reasons to skip
Apple is just days away from unveiling the iPhone 17 lineup, and while the standard iPhone 17 won’t be as flashy as the new Air or Pro models, it still has a lot going for it. Here are three reasons you might want to buy it and two reasons you may want to skip.
Bigger and Better Display The iPhone 17 is expected to come with a 6.3-inch screen, slightly larger than the iPhone 16. For the first time, Apple is expected to bring its 120Hz ProMotion refresh rate to the standard iPhone, making scrolling and animations smoother.
Improved Cameras for Selfies The front camera is expected to come with a big upgrade — from 12MP to 24MP. This means sharper selfies, better video calls, and more flexibility for cropping images without losing detail.
More Power and Better Cooling Powered by Apple’s new A19 chip, the iPhone 17 is expected to come with faster performance and improved efficiency. It may also get vapor chamber cooling, which helps prevent overheating during gaming or heavy use.
No Major Rear Camera Upgrades Unlike the Pro models, the standard iPhone 17 is expected to stick with the same 48MP wide and ultra-wide lenses as the iPhone 16. If you’re looking for a big leap in photography, this isn’t it.
Price Could Go Up While the iPhone 17 may still start at $799, some analysts predict Apple could bump it up to $850. With the Air and Pro models expected to get more dramatic upgrades, some buyers might find better value in stretching their budget.
