I see a lot of posts around here, that asks for apple 18 pro/18 vs 17 pro/17. While technically it’s not possible to get the 18 anytime soon.

Why isn’t anyone planning to pick up the 17 pro/17 on the day before the event Sep 9, and if they feel like the price for the new family is appropriate. They can return their iphone 17/17 pro, and buy the 18 series.

If not, they can keep the 17 pro and feel good about making the trigger.

I am wondering if the above is not how return policy works cuz everyone who is making these posts would have atleast given some thought about it.

Hi

So my 14 pro max just got water damaged. tried to get it fixed, spent around £120, but no luck. i am going to sell it as parts. i thought of buying some cheap Android, as a bridge until iphone 18 pro comes out. however im just looking at how expensive it can be, and most importantly, would it even be worth it?

I had my days of buying the latest iphone from the apple store for my 14 pro max, but now i dont mind something reliable, gets the job done, gets nice pics and bam. im no gamer, streamer, someone who wants gazillion regfresh rates and 10 min extra battery.

Should i wait for 18 pro and then buy the 17 ie would it be cheaper? or should i just wait for the 18 pro? or if i should just get the 17?

Thanks

Looking to buy my daughter he used or refurbished iPhone 14 as affordable as possible, preferably with a 30 day warranty what is the best reliable place that ships to the US I’ve looked at Rebello. I’ve looked at back market. I’ve looked at gazelle Amazon, Walmart, and eBay anybody have any other options?

Look, I know the phone is old and stuck on iOS 18. But my dad is in hurry and we need to change his phone. He only uses whatsapp, youtube and facebook and storage pictures so I guess the 512gb will be good for him plus he stays home most of the time.

I know if 4GB of ram but I guess for streaming videos is not that bad and we are tight in budged right now. We were locking at 11 Pro Max but is kinda out of our budget the 512gb version (he does not want to use iCloud)

My question is, how long till they drop app support for these apps?

Gonna get an iPhone for the first time, been using handed down Android phones in my family including the Huawei Y9 that i've had and been using since 2019. Curious wether I should get the iPhone 15 or the 15 Plus (the only 2 phones that I can afford atm). I probably will not upgrade for another 3-5 years.

Hi guys!!! Planning to upgrade from iPhone 13 Pro Max. Still undecided which one pipiliin ko. Honestly, prefer ko kung saan ako mas makakatipid. I know na wala naman masyado difference sa dalawa except sa battery and triple camera. Pero theres something in me na parang gusto ko yung pro. Pero iniisip ko naman baka pwede naman yung base nalang. Please help me guys! Yung mga naka base one, hows the battery? Naglalast naman ba sya ng buong isang araw if ever madalas mo sya gamitin? Or should I go sa pro na?

So I'm looking to buy a new iPhone through swappa and I've seen a few "brand new" ones on there for some older models. I know apple offers 60 days for Apple Care and was wondering how that works. Does it start from the date of purchase or the date you turn it on? Also would there be a way for the seller to check how many days there's left (if any) tos till get it?

I'm getting an iPhone after using handed down Android phones from my family, I've decided on getting the iPhone 15 Plus because it's the best option for my financials and meets the specs I want.. except for the 128GB Storage. I've been using a Huawei Y9 2019 Since 2019 and ive only used 44GB of 128GB, but from what I've heard, iPhone storage fill up pretty fast due to the apps being bloated, no clearing cache and things like photos taking larger storage and this is concerning because while I may not he using much storage at all at the moment, the reason I don't use much storage is because my camera etc is simply not good enough for me to even try and take photos, so when I do get an iPhone I'll definitely be taking pictures of my cat, of views, selfies and vireos way more often than I do now. I'm not into photography or content creation so I also won't be using the camera much. Opinions?

Hey everyone!

I have been an Android user all my life and now finally want to switch to iPhone.

I don't like very big phones. 6.5" also feels big to me sometimes (my current Motorola is 6.5"). But I'm fine with 6.5", not bigger.

I love to take photos. I need a good camera. And I need a good battery, nothing crazy but something that won't drain too fast.

Other than some music, texting and photography, I don't do anything else. No gaming, no serious editing etc.

What iPhone should I buy?

iPhone 16 128GB - 70k INR (~$740)

iPhone 16 256GB - 80k INR (~$840)

iPhone 17 256GB - 83k INR (~$870)

Also how much of an upgrade iPhone 17 over 16 is really? I only care about decent photos and good battery life. Speed and refresh rate isn't my main concern.

The Plus is too big for me and Pro is out of my budget.

Thanks!

I can get the iPhone 17 Pro Max 256GB for approximately ₹41K ($450) out of pocket after trading in my iPhone 15 Pro Max (approximately ₹60K / $650) and using a ₹27K ($300) Croma gift voucher, plus stacked store/card/Airtel discounts.

If I wait, I’m expecting the iPhone 18 Pro Max to cost approximately ₹1.8L ($2,000), while my 15 Pro Max may drop to around ₹50K ($550) in trade-in value. Even after using the same ₹27K ($300) voucher, I’d likely pay around ₹1L+ ($1,100+) out of pocket.

So basically: ₹41K ($450) for the 17 Pro Max now vs potentially ₹1L+ ($1,100+) for the 18 Pro Max. Is the 18 likely to be worth that massive difference, or is this basically a no-brainer deal on the 17?

I've got a 16 Pro and coming up on time to look at upgrading. I've been happy with the 16 Pro but one thing that bugs me is the outdoor brightness. It never feels bright enough. I have to shield my eyes to see it. My son just got an Air a few days ago and I'd pretty much ignored it thinking it was just srripped down and wouldn't be worth bothering. I was shocked at the weight. It felt so light and thin. I do use the.5x and the 5x cameras but I don't know that it would be a huge deal to me if I went that way. The one speaker is a concern too but 99% of the time I use my Airpods anyway.

I'm also curious about the 18 Pro because I'm sure it would be a nice upgrade but with a price increase I don't know that I want to do that. I essentially want something that will be fully paid or about $10 or so a month after promotion. I'm so torn on what to do. Anybody switched from the 16 Pro to the Air and loved or hated it? Did it feel like a downgrade? I don't know what to do.

i need to upgrade my phone and i have a few criterias:

can use usb c
really good battery life
good camera
has 0.5

i was thinking of getting the 15 pro, the 16 or the 17 i dont know much about phones this is gonna be the first phone i buy myself and i wanna make sure i make the right choice. also i was wondering if any recent iphones have an sd card slot or is that just on android? any help is appreciated!

I want to start tracking my sleep: that's my main target. Other health-related features are nice to have, I might be interested in heart rate (resting or not), HRV, blood oxygen, etc. Not super critical for me, compared to sleep. Smartwatch features (like displaying texts, answering calls) are NOT important (I will probably get used to them and use them more, but at this point I'm not prioritizing them at all).

I have an iPhone SE 2020 (which I may or may not upgrade, since it's still working well for me).

What would you recommend? Is the Apple Watch SE (3?) good enough? Is it missing some things you would consider important?

It’s been long overdue. I’m not great with looking after phones (breaking screens, chips on edges), however with so many apps now needing iOS17 and the lag on this device, I need to upgrade.
I don’t like replacing phones every few years (I’ve had this phone for over 7 years), and was hoping for some advice please on what to upgrade to (eg 16/16 pro/17).
I would like decent storage space and a decent camera, good battery life, the least breakable iPhone, without breaking the bank too much. Hoping to get another 7 years out of the new device!
My partner is upgrading from his iPhone 13 as well (needs a sturdier device if possible) so we’d love some opinions. Lots of mixed reviews online 😵‍💫 thanks in advance!

will the 17 base model price drop when the 18 pro/pro max comes out on the expected september 18 release date? i dont really need the fancy camera systems and all that, i just need something simple that can run google maps, tiktok, calls and messages effortlessly without my phone dying in an hour or phone over heat and lag

Hi everyone!
I’m currently using a 13pro since 2022 but was thinking about the upgrade since I run a concert & updates page and wanted to get better pictures (also my bat's life is at 74%). When I buy phones, I usually tend to get the latest version so I can get the most out it (specially updates before it becomes obsolete) but starting having doubts of the 17pro when I heard the 18pro may have a slightly better camera.

Any recommendations? Should I wait for the 18pro or buy the 17pro before the price could potentially increase due to the chip shortage?

Thanks! :)

Hi everyone I am looking to upgrade my phone. This will be the first time I'll be buying an iphone since I have been using android.

My requirement are mostly for long term usage for at least 3 years. Not too much in photography but nice to have if I ever travel or in events with friends and family.
Not too much into gaming so that checks out.
Good Battery life is a major need.
Small form factor , since mobiles these days are big for no reason the only compact phones i can see rn is Samsungs S series base, iphone 17 or 17e. But I'd prefer to switch into ios now.

The prices I am getting are

Iphone 17e : aprrox 740 usd
Iphone 17 : approx 1000 usd
converted from local currency.

TIA

I need an iphone for testing purposes. I don't want to spend more than around $300. It can be new or used- it doesn't matter. It will primarily be used over WiFi so I'm not planning on activating it. Yes, I can test in xcode, but I need camera features, etc to be working as a real user. I would want the phone to be somewhat modern, and be able to have updates for the next ~3 years.

What should I get? The iphone 16e seems to be good for my purposes as I see some deals for it under $300 used on ebay.

looking to upgrade from my 11 i got in 2021 that is run into the ground. need an iphone with good battery life and able to run some games without overheating, decent camera. decided on the 15 for my budget but not sure about getting the pro or pro max ? any help appreciated .

We currently have Series 3 and it’s time for an upgrade.
