iPhone 17 Long-Term Review — Summary
The reviewer used the iPhone 17 as their main phone for about three months. They found it a much more complete base iPhone than previous generations, with major improvements to the display, battery experience, and selfie camera. The main drawbacks are the lack of a telephoto camera, a slow USB 2.0 port, and noticeable heat during demanding gaming.
Design and durability
- The phone has a similar rear design to the iPhone 16, and retains the Action Button and Camera Control.
- Its matte glass back and brushed-aluminum frame resist fingerprints better than glossy finishes. The reviewer liked the blue color and found the other color options appealing as well.
- At 177 g, with softly rounded edges, it feels comfortable to hold for long periods.
- Narrower bezels make room for a larger 6.3-inch display and give the phone a more premium, Pro-like look.
- Ceramic Shield 2 is presented as a durability improvement, though the reviewer still recommends using a good screen protector.
Display
- The base iPhone finally gets ProMotion, with an adaptive refresh rate of 1–120 Hz. Scrolling and animations feel much smoother than on older 60 Hz iPhones.
- The refresh rate can drop to 1 Hz for static content, which the reviewer believes helps preserve battery life.
- An anti-reflective coating reduces reflections, making the screen easier to see outdoors. The reviewer says it remains clear in bright sunlight and can be dimmed comfortably at night.
- The display is sharp and competitive with screens on rival Galaxy and Pixel phones.
Battery and charging
- Despite its relatively modest stated capacity of 3,692 mAh, the reviewer gets about a day of mixed, fairly heavy use and roughly seven hours of screen-on time.
- They attribute the endurance to the efficient A19 chip and adaptive display. Battery life seemed slightly better after an iOS 27 update.
- Charging averages around 26–27 W in the reviewer’s tests, briefly reaching 37 W. The phone takes about 20 minutes to reach half charge. The reviewer considers this adequate, though slower than some Chinese-phone charging systems.
- 25 W MagSafe charging and a broad range of accessories are positives.
- The reviewer’s battery health remained at 100% during their period of use. They also cite separate reports of phones at 98% health after around ten months, but these are not their own long-term results.
Performance and software
- The A19 chip delivers a consistently smooth experience for everyday tasks, with no major slowdowns or dropped frames reported.
- The reviewer says 8 GB of RAM is sufficient because of iOS memory management.
- The phone can run demanding games, including Delta Force, at up to 120 fps. However, after about 20 minutes of heavy gaming, it becomes uncomfortably hot. Gaming at maximum settings can use roughly 27% of the battery per hour, while everyday use and lighter games keep the phone cool.
- A couple of minor lags appeared after the iOS 27 update; the reviewer expects a software update may fix them.
- The review praises iOS 27’s Liquid Glass visual design and describes Siri and Apple Intelligence as more capable than earlier versions. It notes that Chinese-region models reportedly did not have Apple Intelligence features available at the time of recording.
Cameras
- Main rear camera: The 48 MP camera is reliable in daylight and low light, though the reviewer says everyday photos do not look dramatically different from those taken with the iPhone 16.
- Ultrawide camera: The upgraded 48 MP sensor captures good detail in bright conditions. Images can distort near the corners and become blurry in low light.
- Selfie camera: The new 18 MP square sensor can shoot portrait- or landscape-oriented photos and 4K video without turning the phone. The reviewer finds it particularly convenient for group selfies and strong for video, including solo vlogging.
- The phone can record with the front and rear cameras simultaneously.
- Selfie-video stabilization works well in good light but is less reliable in darkness.
- Ultrawide video is a weak point: low-light footage can shake noticeably because of the smaller sensor and lack of optical stabilization.
- The reviewer misses having a telephoto camera and sees its absence as an important difference between the base and Pro models.
Audio, connectivity, and controls
- The stereo speakers are loud and clear, with good separation for music and podcasts.
- Qualcomm-based cellular connectivity and Wi-Fi are dependable, including in some office areas where other Android phones struggled.
- The USB-C port is limited to USB 2.0 speeds. This is especially inconvenient when transferring large video files; the reviewer notes that some cheaper Android rivals offer faster ports.
- The reviewer sometimes accidentally presses the power and volume buttons together, taking a screenshot. They also find it easy to trigger Camera Control unintentionally.
Price and comparisons
- The iPhone 17 launched at the same $799 base price as the iPhone 16, while doubling the base storage to 256 GB. The reviewer sees this as a strong improvement in value.
- They describe it as a good middle ground between Apple’s base and Pro models and believe it should remain capable for around six to seven years.
- Upgrading from an iPhone 16 is considered reasonable, particularly for the 120 Hz display and selfie camera. The case is even stronger for owners of older iPhones or people switching from Android.
- At the local prices cited in the video, the phone costs roughly 250 million tomans before registration and 360 million registered. The reviewer says the registration premium is substantial.
- At a similar registered price, the Galaxy S26 Ultra is suggested as an Android alternative. The reviewer says the Galaxy S26 can offer a larger screen, optical zoom, and more professional multitasking, while the iPhone may suit those who prefer iOS and a more compact phone.
- The reviewer advises ordinary users not to wait for the iPhone 18, despite rumors of higher RAM and a newer processor, because the iPhone 17 already offers a fast, reliable experience and strong battery life.
- No numerical overall rating is given.
Verdict
The reviewer recommends the iPhone 17 for people who want a compact, fast iPhone with a smooth 120 Hz display, strong everyday battery life, and an unusually capable selfie camera. It is less suitable for users who need optical zoom, fast wired file transfers, or sustained high-performance gaming.
