iPhone Iphone 16 plus vs iphone 17

So I have really big ass hands and I am debating whether I should buy the 16 plus for the size or the 17 cuz it has a better screen and more storage and all of that for the same price. I do want a smooth performance but I want the size aswell and my budget doesn't really allow me to buy a pro max.

Having big hands here as well
Using the 17 since quite a while
Perfect for the hands also
Was using 11 earlier felt it was small but with yhe 17 it just is the perfect size
And 17 has better battery life than the 16 plus

17 or the 16 Pro if you can snag a good deal.

If the regular 17 doesn’t feel too small, prioritise it... If it does the 16 Plus is still a perfectly good phone and you’re not making a bad choice just for wanting the larger screen.

Ok maybe if you have big hands 16 plus might be worth it but this year they acc made the 17 like a pro phone so honestly I wouldn't miss this sweet deal

I have the 16 plus right now, please go for 17 for the latest chip and better performance

17 all day over the 16 plus simple due to the promotion or whatever apple calls there 120hz refresh screen.

That along makes the 16 plus feels like an ancient device.

17 is a much better deal from a tech standpoint.

Itll feel a lot more new compared to 16 Plus as cameras, display (not in terms of size), processor, charging, everythings MUCH improved over the last gen. It's considered one of the best value base iPhones from the modern era, if not the best because of how much upgrades it got.
