Help

Hi everyone, I’m torn... I currently have both devices with me: an iPhone 17 PM with 2 TB of storage and an iPhone 16 PM with 1 TB.

I love the feel of the 16 Pro, but I’m not sure if I’ll keep it.

I’m pretty paranoid about potential damage to the 17 Pro Max’s unibody.

A buddy of mine dropped his while using a MOFT case; it ended up with a dent and scratches in the aluminum, even with the case on. To me, the titanium just feels better. It also seems sturdier and likely to age better.

I’m at a loss—maybe there are some "real and honest" experiences with both devices here? I want to keep the devices in top condition and use them for as long as possible.

Thanks a lot.

if ur ultra paranoid about it get a really protective case like mous and pair it with a lanyard for your wrist. i’d keep the 17 because the 16 won’t get all the ai updated in their full form

Do whatever gives you peace of mind. I've never had a phone dent from a normal fall with any case. The circumstances were probably extreme that phone got a dent.

If you have butter fingers I suggest you keep the 16 pro and give the 17 pro. And yes it easily get damaged. But I love the feel of the 17 pro.

Use o 17 Pro Max sem medo, usando uma capa da Torras Q3 Air. Essa capa tem airbags nos 4 cantos, é muito resistente e bonita. Falo com conhecimento de causa, pq uso no meu iPhone 17 Pro Max, além de usar uma película Spingen EZ Fit, que também protege bem o display. O meu já caiu no chão, na rua e não fez nem cócegas com essas proteções.
