Is the new iPhone 17 Pro worth the upgrade? It’s the annual dilemma facing Apple fans, but this year’s phone has made the decision a lot more complicated by delivering one of the most significant design and camera overhauls in years.
The much-touted titanium frame, introduced just two years ago, is gone. In its place is a new brushed aluminium unibody with a plateau design. This isn’t just a cosmetic tweak; Apple says the new form factor allows for a bigger battery and vapour chamber for better cooling, all while being protected front and back by a more scratch-resistant Ceramic Shield 2.
