Pros

  • Finally, you mentioned the 17 base. This is an awesome phone, but at $800, it maybe a little bit much if you don't think you're going to stick with iOS long-term. But by all means, get this one if you really want to give iOS a good chanc...
  • iPhone 17 base will take the most consistently good photos. It will have less software options, but pull the phone out of your pocket, snap a pic, put it back in your pocket without checking the photo. iPhone will win that all day long.
  • Personally, I would get the iPhone 17 base. However, you need to decide what is important to you. The iPhone 17 base pros: - Better CPU. - Better for Ultra wide photos. - Better selfie camera. - Dual video recording. - Better WiFi...
  • 16 pro if you want cameras. If not, 17 base.
  • go for the basic 17, excellent value for money, many new features compared to the basic versions of previous years.

Cons

  • I had s25 ultra, I changed to 17 base, big mistake...
  • 17 base has no zoom lens, S25U has two. For me this would be a massive downgrade.
  • Parent context: iPhones Reply: I switched from Pixel 7 pro to iPhone 17 base. Photos are much better with Pixel and video with iPhone.

Finally, you mentioned the 17 base. This is an awesome phone, but at $800, it maybe a little bit much if you don't think you're going to stick with iOS long-term. But by all means, get this one if you really want to give iOS a good chance, it's a great all-rounder phone.
