Upgraded from the 14 Pro and glad I did. Apple makes it incredibly easy to move everything to the new phone. I got a good trade-in with a promotional offer to reduce my costs. The battery life is longer than that of my old phone. The graphics and colors are better. The photo quality is approaching professional levels.
iPhone 17 pro functions no better than IPhone 15 Pro regarding battery life, wifi and bluetooth connectivity and speed of processing. A downside is it attempts to offer integrating across platforms in some intrusive ways offering less privacy. Applications previously used changed behavior in annoying ways.
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

I am really liking my new IPhone 17 Pro Max. I upgraded from the 14 ProMax. The camera is really great and some of the new features from Apple for this phone really work great.
