Apple iPhone 17

Technical specifications

To me, it is equivalent to the Samsung S series. It lacks a hardware-encrypted vault for application clones or secret data. Previously, I used the S20 and iPhone 12 Pro simultaneously, and now I use the 17 and S26. The camera is inferior to the one in the S26, and there are specific iOS limitations, but those are concerns for technology enthusiasts.

The best phone I have ever had in my life.

Is this an iPhone? The review could end there :). Simply put. The phone works very well, the battery lasts about 1.5 days with so-called normal use. The camera takes photos :) neither good nor bad, decent. These devices are about the system and reliability, not unnecessary features. I recommend buying new from verified stores, as I bought a refurbished 15 Pro and was highly disappointed. It is no longer the same, the system stutters, and the camera likely uses non-original parts. I switched from the POCO F8 Ultra, which is an excellent phone for a reasonable price. I used it for half a year; how long have I used iPhones? I do not know, about 12 years. And that is exactly what I was missing. In POCO, to find anything in settings, I had to use Google :) I was constantly searching for something, wondering where it was. Here I feel comfortable, everything is very intuitive. And I think the iPhone 17 is really fairly priced (for an Apple product, of course). I tried to switch to Android twice and twice I returned to the iPhone. I will end the experimentation there :)

This phone is simply adequate. And nothing more, no impressive features or additional options. There is supposedly a 120 Hz refresh rate, but I would advise turning it off because it consumes battery power rapidly. As for the battery - it is usually enough to charge it once a day, although it not infrequently requires this twice. The camera is even satisfactory, but there is no drastic difference between the 17 and an Android for 1500 PLN. On the plus side, video recording; here Apple always occupies a leading position. Charging is slightly faster than in previous models, but it could always be faster. I purchased it after years of using Android - I just wanted to try something new, Android was not a poor system for me. And I feel that this will be my first and last smartphone with iOS.

Apart from the dimensions, after switching from the 13 Mini, it is okay. A positive aspect is the fast and efficient interface as well as the useful applications in the store. The battery lasts from 1 to even 3 days, depending on usage. The cameras are very good, and the photos and videos are clear and of high quality. During testing, no difference is visible between the 17 Pro and the 17 (the digital zoom is slightly better). After about 7 months of use, I can recommend the phone. It is a pity that they do not produce anything smaller at the moment. A huge advantage is the screen and the fact that the phone does not heat up like previous models. The standard 13 has better reception (same operator and location) than the 17 (similarly, reception problems occurred with the 13 Mini).

I switched from iPhone 15 and I am very satisfied. iPhone 15 is great and never let me down, but something happened to the battery. I had to recharge it very frequently. In the 17, the battery is significantly better, although time will tell, and the screen is sensational.

Overall rating of 5+. Efficient system, after many years with Android I am satisfied. Charging to 50% in 30 minutes, full charge in about 1.5 hours.

Excellent phone.
