Old thread image limit reached.

1. I usually get pro models, but this one is so fucking ugly, aluminum fucking sucked back in iPhone 5S days, your hand acid will etch the porous aluminum out, they made it more rounded so its going to be more resistant to that, but next year they will release a version that has those sharp polished accents like iPhone 5S used to have, and those will etch like crazy.

2. Whole massive bump is a good thing in that they should be able to fit the sliding lens next year for actual optical zoom.

3. the 8X is fake, its same tetra-prism of iPhone 15 and 16, but with bigger 48MP sensor they will be able to crop better and extract more from the telephoto lens. Glass is what limits the ultimate resolution of the sensor, so bigger sensor will give better image quality, zoom in to 8x on your iPhone 15/16 Pro Max right now and it will look the same just slightly sharper, just because of extra pixels, but its still a hack.

4. vapor chamber, metal encased battery, and ceramic coating are the only great additions, metal encased batteries were added some time ago but now it seems we have them across all phones, should be more user service-able, thank Europe for this, because our politicians here do not give a flying mega fuck, and they shit on you poor fucks who don't even have a trust fund. Ceramic coating is amazing if truly added, think CERAN, the "glass" that is used in electric stoves, transmits infrared, crystal structure makes it so it does not shatter from hot/cold shock, hopefully that also translates into shatterproofing.

5. Applel Watch - well, not much to say, hypertension sensor is great, but obviously limited, sleep tracking is fucking retarded, blood oxygen level finally gone it was retarded, you should know when you are asphyxiating from lack of oxygen, A MUCH BETTER ADDITION WOULD BE AIR MONITORING SENSOR!

6. eSIM - fucking cancer, you cannot change or move your SIM w/o carrier approval "for privacy and security." Get bent.

When's the best time to buy the iPhone 17 Pro?
During launch? Or perhaps during Black Friday?
I don't have any phone to trade-in, and I want an unlocked phone.

>>106537010 (OP)
>aluminum
The polycarbonate they used in the 5C was fucking glorious. Plastic doesnt have to be cheap and shitty and Apple could charge out the ass for good polocarbonate. They never should have abandoned it. Its very durable and is radio transparent.

don't care. still never buying an iphone.

>>106537126
>The iPhone is the worst phone except for all the rest of them
Truth

This phone looks like a google pixel

>>106537010 (OP)
>Aluminum body is now better than Titanium

>>106537125
for SE for sure, it was also decent thermally, I recall my 3GS heating up when raped with jailbreak multitasking etc.

>>106537010 (OP)
There isn't a single white man in apple's marketing

>>106537215
Since it's not targeted at me then I won't buy it

top kek

the design is so bad like so ad

Stop being humungious faggots for a whole millisecond and make me an iPhone mini THICK so I can have god like battery life.
NOW

>>106537120
it will keep its original price for a year, bestbuy and microcenter might have black friday deals, but likely none

best thing you can do is trade in your current iphone and get credit toward new, but you get that credit after the fact, so you can use it on NEXT purchase, talk to apple support and see how you can trade in and get credit right away applied, could mean traveling to a physical apple store

should I upgrade my iPhone SE 2nd gen to an iPhone 17?

>>106537271
>but you get that credit after the fact
huh? you get the money after buying it yeah but you get the money

timmy apple

But if Steve Jobs was living, he wouldn't let this be, no, no

>>106537276
>should I upgrade my iPhone SE 2nd gen to an iPhone 17?
Use case/need?

so now that the value proposition for Pixel is completely dead in the water, what other android phone can I get that doesnt have touchjizz or chinkUI

>>106537120
they give out gift cards in my area instead of discounts during sale periods
only way to get them cheap is from outside stores or refurbs from carriers

my 3 year old POCO has same specs as iPhone 17 and it was $200

>>106537316
>same specs as iPhone 17
kek, imagine believing that

Mini enjoyers, we lost (again). Who's still rocking their original mini's?

>>106537323
the fuck, did they drop it or something? Looks chipped on the corners

it looks cheap and bad

>>106537300
Skinhead, dead head, everybody gone mad

Google are a bunch of cheap fucks. The pixel is an embarrassment

AHAHAHAHAHA

>>106537398
so bad fucking hell the designers should get fired

>>106537372
weird lighting arrangement reflections, still looks like absolute shit though

>>106537306
u kno, normal iPhone stuff

lmao what the fuck

>air is 1.2k
>pro is 1.2k

why should iEVER go for the air

>>106537372
This was supposed to be the iPhone 17E.

What went wrong?

>>106537390
This.
I fucking hate Apple and their scummy practices, but the Pixel 10 is some of the most bullshit ever.
I'd NEVER consider using an iPhone but I am now. I have to upgrade since my current phone sucks. Pixel 10 was supposed to be the savior.
Here I am now, going to get a iPhone 17.

>>106537323
quality indian machining right there, Foxconn was great.

>>106537388
Situation, aggravation, everybody, allegation

>>106537421
because you really super want a sub 6mm thick phone (ignore the camera bump and also the entire top fifth of the phone)

>>106537240
>4 dollars
You're going to be the next Michael Burry bro I believe in you.

>>106537435
I hope that they get absolutely rekt. The base iphone already seems like a great buy (even though I dislike ios) and for the pro model there's no contest, the Google one is an embarrassment.

Google can't even copy Apple right. Maybe if Pixel 10 fails they'll actually put some serious effort into it. Oh wait, they're superior in some niche ai slop stuff that isn't even available in most countries

Hahahaha

>>106537497
In the suit, on the news, everybody, dog food

>>106537530
the only thing wrong with this product is that they modeled it on a man. I know several women whose purses exist solely to hold their phones, and their phone is their entire EDC.
a phone that is a purse is perfect for them.

>>106537549

>>106537418
>u kno, normal iPhone stuff
Like what? So long as Apple maps and my calendar work on my device despite it being nearly half way to a decade old now I don't really care personally. I'm more likely to upgrade my watch if it's no possible to just replace the battery in this thing.

My iPhone XS that I’ve been using for the past 7 years has had horrible ghost touching for the past month and the left side of the screen stopped working. I guess I finally have an excuse to upgrade. The base 17 looks like a decent deal, it’s actually $100 cheaper than the 256/512GB models of the 16 when I checked last week.

>>106537010 (OP)
There is no reason to buy any of these. The Air is obviously the product of a failed attempt to have a folding iPhone ready in time. Just wait until next year.

>>106537363
I don't plan to buy any more iPhones after my mini dies. I hate what Apple has become, and the literal jeet shittiness of Android is the only reason I have kept the phone this long. Eventually I'm going to end up on one of those e-ink phones or the like.

>>106537662

High testosterone post

Are the main and ultrawide cameras the same for both the 17 base and 17 Pro? I don't care about telephoto.

>>106537756
telephoto is amazing for spying on people and taking creep shots, when you have daylight you can literally spy on people

>>106537310
Anything from 2025?

>>106537781
Okay, that sounds cool. But honestly though I don't think I'd want to pay an extra $300 just for that.
If the iPhone 17 base takes the same exact photo/video quality for the main/ultrawide then I'd be happy with that.

>>106537530
Is Apple trying to tell us the iPhone Air is the white man's iPhone?

>>106537530
is... is that a white man in an apple marketing promo?
he's even masculine too
what is the /g/ equivalent of sign tapping?

>>106537881
The gay white man's

This. I'm big on AI and AI tools, but the Pixel 10 is garbage. Especially the little "100x Zoom" feature which is literally just Google's Imagen model generating the image based on its surroundings. It even fucks up the text in the shot like the rest of the AI models do. In other words, it's not really a picture of the moment, but it's whatever Google's image generator came up with. It's as useless as the "fix your photos afterward by making people smile when they were wenching or something" thing. The point is to take a photo of that moment in reality, not some doctored up shit. Not saying iPhones don't have built in features to make software enhancements to their images (meaning it's not completely "real" there either), but Google's implementation is trash. Also why would I want to have the phone auto reply to messages I get from friends and family?

AI is damn cool and I love what it can do for work, productivity, content creation and a myriad of other things, but if they can't figure out how to do anything with it on our phones other than AI generated "100x Camera Zoom" photos, maybe they need to figure out what they're doing. Maybe AI assisted search or file management. Maybe AI assisted memory allocation so you can get the most out of your battery. Maybe Google Lens functionality built in to Gemini. Maybe a you open your camera app, point to something and then ask what it is right from that application. Maybe improved Google Maps.

There are SO MANY things they can do and they choose the most idiotic bullshit they can come up with. All while still having a phone with shitty specs and the same design as last year's model. I'm normally not this worked up about this, but Google had a wide open shot to actually do something and they managed to fuck it up. Then the eSIM shit and the removal of side loading apps popped up and I'm starting to think Google is intentionally trying to sabotage the phones for some reason.

>>106537398
its a different shape

>implying

So what color are we getting? I thought of Silver initially but now orange is interesting

>>106537240
tell us you know nothing about trading without telling us
you must be hella poor

>>106537316
its called "pooco" kek
imagine owning a cheap chink androjeet phone

>>106538468
Depends if you’re going for form or functionality I guess. Orange screams i own le new fagship look at me, the dark blue is just a classic all-rounder. Silver is boring for me. Ngl I love this years lineup and it’s a tough choice

>>106538567
I don't care topeople to know the phone I own honestly. I just wanted to try something different
I'd have gone for black if it was present...

Showcasing jeet trannys. Absolutely disgusting Apple. No new purchase from me.

WTF is "Pro Fusion camera system" and "Dual Fusion camera system"?

>>106538337
I think their phone department is seriously mismanaged. they cant even make a simple clock app without fucking it up.

>>106538676
Fusion:
> have 48MP sensor
> all of your photos end up being 24MP after processing anyways
> which means you can literally crop the center of a 48MP image (24MP), and call it "optical 2X zoom".

>>106538699
I thought it was what Google does on their Pixel phones where they take simultaneous pictures on the main and ultrawide and merge it together to create a super-detailed image.
Does iPhone also do that? Or no?

>>106538744
>Does iPhone also do that? Or no?
I don't think so. But that doesn't matter since iPhones end up with better photos anyways

>>106538337
More stupid useless AI gimmicks. That's what Pixel seems to be all about now.
Like think about "Add Me"? Who the fuck is going to use that? Maybe once or twice when you first get the phone but never again.

>>106537398
it's crazy how apple never made a usb c version after discontinuing the lightning version. they just left that market to third parties for 3 years.

now just bring back the magsafe duo and add airpod charging

nothing happen, useless features and expensive products. I am not in awe.

>>106538981
delet

You may not like it, but this gen will be looked back on fondly as a classic. Especially since this is the last gen before the average consumer will be too broke to buy expensive shit ever again.

>>106537530
Is that the Air one? it's huge.

>>106539100

just like BWC

>blood oxygen level finally gone it was retarded, you should know when you are asphyxiating from lack of oxygen
1. No, you can easily be at 60% and just feel a little drowsy.
2. It's not gone, what the fuck are you talking about?

>>106538337
only point of pixel is Graphene OS custom made for pixel phones for ultra privacy

>>106539213
they didnt advertise it so i assume gone, they were sued and they disabled it in the US at least, didnt see it advertised as being back so i made conclusion its gone

>>106539328
it's back

https://www.apple.com/watch/compare/

>>106539328
>>106539347
more details here actually, they brought it back for older models where they'd removed it too

https://www.apple.com/newsroom/2025/08/an-update-on-blood-oxygen-for-apple-watch-in-the-us/

>>106539328
It was never gone in first-world countries and it's being advertised for the 11.

>>106538201
No, it does work.

is the air the precursor to their foldable for next year?

>new UI
>extra thin phone
Apple really disappeared up their own arse regarding innovation.

>>106539687
looks like it. That design where the logic board where everything is inside the bump looks ideal for a foldable.

>>106539687
pretty much, this is what people think, development process is a weird thing they needed to make an experimental temporary product, if popular they keep it, if not they make foldable, maybe even go thinner

>>106539687
No. First they will have a wrap around the edges display.
The year after their first foldable

Correct me if I'm wrong, but there was no iPad Pro mentioned. If there's a delay, they better be making it bigger. 15 inches would be amazing. And more RAM. It doesn't necessarily need a better processor to run ZBrush or Blender more efficiently.

>>106538337
I hate the idea of AI being used in the photos I take. Digital already skews reality because they use different correction aglos on the image.
I guess I have to go back to carrying a fat SLR with me now.

Tim, I thought titanium was a super metal superior in every way to aluminium. Now I'm confused

>>106543009
Half of pic related is made of aluminium, it's not a fragile metal if done right.

>>106543009
Titanium would make the 17 Pro the most heaviest iPhone ever

>A MUCH BETTER ADDITION WOULD BE AIR MONITORING SENSOR!
Glad I'm not the only one who thought "why the fuck won't they add temperature/humidity/pm/co2 sensor to apple watch?". Would be much more useful than some of the dumb things they're adding.
