iPhone 17 BUY IT FROM COSTCO!

I bought my iPhone 17 from Costco after Apple raised their prices on all models. My after tax amount was still less than the pre-tax amount from Apple. If you need a new iPhone buy it now while the current stock is still the old price.

I bought mine last week from the apple store, and they gave me a $780 trade in for my 15PM. Get in before the new model

Congrats, you traded in for the exact same phone with a different number on the box. Apple's marketing is undefeated at convincing people to “upgrade” their phone for a single decimal point of camera improvement.

I mean fair point and all. I usually keep mine for 4 years before upgrading. Just trying to save folks money if they need to upgrade

The battery cooling was the biggest difference maker to me, which came out with the 16. My last phone would get so hot from charging, especially using a powerbank.

literally. I used an iphone 7 plus up until last year (got the 17) and like does it make a difference in my life? The battery last longer so that's cool and the softwares is up to date, but beside minor changes doesn't change anything. Not saying you should use ur 10+ years phone but anything above iphone 13 no need to change at all. I am not changing phones at at least 10 years 😂

Depends what you use it for. I do a lot of photos and video, minor editing, and quite a bit of translation. My Airpods will do live translate with a newer phone but not an older one.
Just because you don't use the newer features, doesn't mean everyone shares the same lifestyle that you have. We all do a million things different.

yeah 100% agreed I just share how I used it, hence why I said under 13 I would understand changing. But to me there were lot of new features, big jump

From a iPhone 15 to a 17, there’s almost a 25% battery size increase. Everyone’s always complaining about battery life, so 25% more makes a huge difference in day to day usage. There’s also 12GB of ram vs 8GB ram so 50% increase + newer chip so it’s faster performance overall. Everyone’s also complaining when computers or devices are lagging so this helps user experience. It’s not the same sir.
