In this video I’m talking about why the iPhone 17 feels like the first time in a while Apple actually made a move that can turn things around. I break down the whole “saved Apple” angle—slowing growth, people holding onto phones longer, and why this generation finally looks like it has the right mix of upgrades and pricing to get normal buyers excited again. I also get into the real question: base iPhone 17 or Pro? My take is pretty simple—most people should be looking at the base model because that’s where the value is. I’m not saying the Pro is bad, but the way Apple typically separates features, you end up paying a lot for stuff most users won’t feel day-to-day. If you want the best bang-for-buck iPhone 17, the base model is the one I’d point you to, and yeah… it’s got me seriously thinking about switching.
