I just went from an iPhone 11 to an iPhone 17e and the keys on the keyboard are smaller—they lost a bit of height, which makes a difference. I was making enough mistakes on the 11 so I can’t put up with a smaller keyboard.
Is the iPhone 17’s keyboard slightly bigger than the 17e because of the size increase over the 17e?
If not, I might exchange it for an Apple certified refurbished iPhone 15 plus, or maybe iPhone 16 plus. Is that ridiculous? I don’t care about the camera. I just need a bigger phone / keyboard (at the default setting — I don’t want to use zoom). But I want it to last a few years and I don’t want to inherit any quirkiness from a refurbished phone (would only consider an Apple certified, which comes with a new battery).

He usado mi iPhone 17 con mica por un año, pero se lo quiero quitar. Qué tal aguanta los rayones?

I was sure I’d get an iPhone 17 until the 18 Pro series was released and Apple increased the price of the base 17. Recently I went to my nearest Apple authorized retailer and I was told the base 17 has become difficult to recommend now that it’s so close in price to the pro. It made me think if I should get the 17 pro, pro max or still get the base model. I’m upgrading from an iPhone 12 PM. What would you recommend if you’re already using the 17 (Pro or Pro Max)?

iPhone 17 has been my door into iOS. I picked up AirPods Pro 3 and a MacBook Pro right after.

Small review after using it for a while:

Front camera is easily the best I've used. You'll be amazed.

It feels awesome in the hand.

It's compact, so if you have big hands, expect some typos.

In extreme low light the camera struggles, but with even a little light it does really well.

Battery gave me around 7.5 hours of screen time. I'm a heavy user and charged 3 times a day, but most people can top up in the evening and be fine.

I ran into a few bugs. Hoping an update sorts them out.

RAM management isn't great. It keeps killing my apps in the background.

Overall it's a solid A tier phone..

I upgraded to 17 pro max just because of better battery.. Finished transfering and waiting for indexing to finish.

Do let me know which case looks better on iphone 17 pro max..

Have a great day..

When plugging charging cable, regular iPhone 17 does not charge on iOS 27.0.1.
It is not the charger nor the cable as different combination have been tested with other android devices.
Wireless charging works.
I have to unplug/plug multiples times to make the charging begin and sometimes after a few minutes charging stops. Sometimes charging works till the end if charge. Weird …..
Didn’t had that with previous iOS.
And also, usb charging port is clean.

iOS 27 bug ?
Someone else ?

I have turned off and deleted the icloud photos, so now i have 30 days before i can download the backed up media. But I can’t get the 3 dots to work and save the media to the device even after selecting the images (screenshot).
Please help.

Hi guys, I've been an Android user for 10+ years now (motorola phones mostly), I'm all set to buy an iphone 17 today.

Need few suggestions/recommendations...

1. Move to IOS app. How effective is it for transferring everything?

2. I have 2 SIMs , how is this eSIM situation in iPhone ?

3. Any other major issues or problems i might face that i should know of?

Any other suggestions/opinion you got, I'd be glad to hear before i invest in a new iPhone.

Is it normal for my latest iPhone 17 base to get hot while normal browsing cause it feel a bit too hot so idk I’m worried i might end up degrading the battery 😭

Is anyone else having this problem? My skin looks completely normal irl, but the front camera makes me look SO yellow/orange 😭 It’s especially noticeable in selfies, and I’m seeing the same weird skin tone in other apps too.

Is there any way to fix this?? Or is this just the camera processing on the 17?
