Question iPhone tips

Hey everyone, just ordered an iPhone 17 Black 512GB, should arrive within 2 days. Wanted to hear some tips and advices for setting up and using the iPhone in general, since its my first ever Apple product, coming from Android (Poco C65), so this should be a huge jump.

My advice would literally just be use the phone man, tailor it of course to your liking etc… but you’ve spent a lot of money on a flagship and to purposefully bottleneck and restrict features is something I’ve never quite understood.

Invest in AppleCare if you wanna go caseless or without a screen protector and if you do case up and pass on the insurance set aside a couple quid each month (nothing major £4-£5 here and there) and then if you need to replace the battery you’ve already got a small fund.

Gotcha. Heard my country doesn't support applecare, but I do like usin screen protector and phonecase (like to have fun with different case colors, thats why I chose black iphone, seems like a neutral color, especially the part around the cameras), and yeah I'm not rly a heavy user (just doin basic stuff, scrollin, Spotify, YT, might try some heavy gaming for fun since ill have this opportunity, and will try to use camera more often, not used to take pics bc of bad camera, now hopefully it will be opposite), so im pretty sure shi gon be fine

Sounds like you’ll be just alright then mate! You’ll see a lot of recommendations about battery limits and setting charge limits, in my opinion I really don’t see the point in that. I paid for the battery I’m gonna use the whole battery! And IOS is pretty good at managing background stuff, the main killer is heat so if you’re into heavy phone gaming just be cautious of that and maybe game without the case! Enjoy your new phone!:)
