- Is the iPhone 17 worth it over the iPhone 16?
- Yes if you want the 120Hz screen and 256GB base storage, which the 16 lacks. If you already own a 16, the camera and chip gains are modest.
- Does the iPhone 17 have a 120Hz display?
- Yes. The 6.3-inch OLED runs at up to 120Hz with ProMotion, a first for a standard iPhone.
- How is the battery life?
- Most owners get through a full day of normal use. Heavy camera, gaming or hotspot use drains it faster, and the battery is not user-replaceable.
- What is in the box?
- The phone and a USB-C cable. Apple no longer includes a charging brick or headphones.
- Does it take a physical SIM?
- Yes. It supports Nano-SIM and eSIM, so you can use a physical card or set up an eSIM.
- How does it compare with the iPhone 17 Pro?
- The Pro adds a telephoto lens and a titanium body. The standard 17 keeps the 120Hz screen, the A19 chip and 256GB storage, so it covers most everyday use for less.
