- 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.
