I love this phone - it’s so much more high tech. The Liquid Glass is cool & the new iOS is awesome. I really feel like we’re entering a new era. The camera is great. It’s really high quality too. I’m so happy!

I was honestly skeptical about upgrading to the iPhone 17 Pro. My 15 Pro had been struggling for a while. It was constantly overheating, there was random sluggishness, and persistent memory issues. However, I wasn’t convinced a new phone would solve all that. I actually started by trying the regular iPhone 17, and the second I transferred my data, it began overheating almost worse than my old phone. That was an immediate red flag. I returned it and swapped for the 17 Pro, and I’m really glad I did. The difference was noticeable right away. No overheating whatsoever, thanks to whatever new cooling system Apple added. The phone feels consistently cool to the touch, even during heavy use. It’s super fast, incredibly responsive, and the photos are genuinely impressive; crisp, vibrant, and noticeably better than the 15 Pro. I also love the orange color, which sounds small, but it’s honestly one of my favorite aesthetic updates Apple has done in years. The build feels durable and solid, and I’m really hoping this is a model I can hang onto for several generations. It’s not a perfect phone (and the price is steep), which is why I’m giving it four stars, but overall it’s a fantastic upgrade and I’m really happy with it.
