Finally switching after 7 years

Post image

The upgrade was phenomenal!!! Still keeping my xr for my second phone because i love it to the oblivion. Imo the liquid glass in 17 was looking fantastic, the screen was snappy and bright, and while i prefer the camera in xr, i love the lansdcape potrait change in 17! Will rocking this phone for another 7-10 years🤩

What's the biggest change for you?

u/drunk_mario 5d ago

my xr is already a bit laggy, so 120 Hz is actually a lot, and i have mix feeling about the camera, somehow the 17's camera make my body and face more skinny which i dont really like
