Why I'm recommending the iPhone 17 over the Pro models this year (and it goes beyond price)


You're getting Pro-level features while saving hundreds. That's a win for everyone.

Sabrina Ortiz/ZDNETWith the iPhone 17, Apple finally made the 120Hz ProMotion display, which was typically limited to Pro users, uniform across the entire lineup, even the base model. In addition to the refresh rate, the phone now includes thinner borders with a slightly larger 6.3-inch display, which also happens to have 3,000 nits peak outdoor brightness, the highest ever on the base model. You can manually toggle the orientation, or, using AI, the camera can automatically widen the shot when it detects a group of people and rotate from landscape to vertical to get everyone in the frame.
