Why I'm skipping the iPhone 17 this year (and it's not just about the money)
Apple's new iPhone 17 lineup is tempting, but I'm not upgrading from my older iPhone just yet - and that's a testament to Apple.
Don't get me wrong, the hardware on the iPhone 17 is certainly a significant upgrade -- the device is thinner and lighter, it features a 120Hz ProMotion display that was once reserved for the Pro model, has a vastly improved cooling system, the all-new A19 chip, 12GB of RAM, and the capability to record video in 8K. While content creators and tech enthusiasts may be chomping at the bit for the upgraded form factor and 48MP telephoto lens, the reality is that the average iPhone user may not take full advantage of these features. This includes spicy features like AutoMix in Apple Music, Hold Assist, Spatial Photos, or AI-generated Genmojis -- all of which require the iPhone 15 or up.
