This is great, but honestly not much different than my 16promax. I’ll likely keep this one for a few new generations until they come up with something groundbreaking.
I submitted my order twice only to have it immediately cancelled twice. It’s takes a decent amount of time to build a new customer order with a trade in, a new phone line with a new device and a newdata line for a tablet only to have the order cancelled minutes after submission. Bit to have it happen twice is just ridiculous and makes me question whether switching networks is actually a good idea after all.
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

If voice to text is important to you.. dont get it

I upgraded from the iPhone 15 Pro to the iPhone 17 Pro and honestly regret it a little. My biggest issue is voice to text. On my 15 Pro it worked really well. If it made a mistake it was usually just a word or two in a sentence. On the 17 Pro it constantly misses words or replaces them with completely different ones. I often have to repeat myself several times and still end up typing it manually.
I even tried removing my case to see if something was blocking the microphone, but it didn’t make any difference.
For a phone that’s supposed to be an upgrade, this feels like a step backward in something I use every day. If voice to text is important to you, it’s something to keep in mind.

Hello, Joanna! Thank you for the detailed feedback. We’re sorry to hear that the voice-to-text performance on your iPhone 17 Pro hasn't matched the seamless experience you had with your 15 Pro. We know how essential that feature is for daily use.
Since the iPhone 17 Pro utilizes new Apple Intelligence and on-device processing for dictation, there are a few settings that might help. We recommend checking Settings > General > Keyboard to ensure 'Enable Dictation' is toggled on. Another option shared by users online is to change the dictation language to a different country's version of English.
If you're still experiencing issues after that, we suggest reaching Apple directly at: 📞 (800) 275-2273 🔗 support.apple.com/contact
