Pros and cons

According to our mobile phone expert

You can easily use this small iPhone with 1 hand.
Animations and movements look smooth on this 120Hz screen.
You can take sharp photos and videos with the 48-megapixel standard lens and wide-angle lens.
Zoomed-in photos are less sharp than on the iPhone 17 Pro, because it doesn't have a telephoto lens.
You have less space for all your photos, videos, and apps than with 512GB storage.

Description

The Apple iPhone 17 256GB Black is a small and fast device that easily fits in your pocket. Thanks to the powerful chip, you can use demanding apps without any issues. On the bright 120Hz screen, animations look smooth and you can scroll through your social media quickly and without screen tearing. With the 2 cameras on the back, you can take sharp and bright photos even in the dark. Thanks to the wide-angle lens, you can capture wide landscapes or large building entirely. Your photos only become blurry once you zoom in. The new selfie camera recognizes your face and always places you in the middle of your selfies. If you make lots of photos and download movies and series often? Choose 512GB storage, so you don't have to delete anything anytime soon.

Definitely worth the price.

A 120Hz screen. That's even gentler on your eyes than Zwitsal on baby skin.
A dedicated camera button. In just the right place.
Always-on screen. No more tapping your phone to see the time.
That super sharp selfie camera makes my crow's feet look better, so now I need botox.

Fantastic phone, especially if you're coming from a 13 mini. A beautiful screen that used to be only on the Pro models. Battery life is fantastic. Large screen. Fast.

Great successor to my iPhone 13 Pro Max

120Hz screen
Cameras
Weight; phone is nice and light compared to iPhone 13 Pro Max
Bluetooth pairing sometimes doesn't work properly

I ordered an iPhone 17 during the pre-order promotion. Unfortunately, I had a problem with the screen: a yellow glow and a bubble under the screen (no screen protector). I exchanged my iPhone for a different, new iPhone 17. Fortunately, this one does have a good screen. It's great that the standard iPhone 17 now also has many "Pro" features, such as the 120Hz display and the updated front camera, which is clearly better than that of my old iPhone. That's an iPhone 13 Pro Max, and I rarely used its telephoto lens and don't miss it on the iPhone 17. Apps run smoothly and offer the same pleasant user experience. The speakers deliver a good, full sound. I hardly notice the smaller screen: 6.3 inches compared to the 6.7 inches of the 13PM. It is noticeably lighter and fits a bit better in my pocket. The battery has lasted three days now, but I don't use the phone for hours at a time. I charge it with a 20W charger, which takes about 1.5 hours to fully charge. Fast enough for me. I find the customizable action button and camera button a welcome addition. I did have a minor issue with Bluetooth pairing in the car. My phone displayed "no connection," even though the car indicated it was paired. Apparently, Bluetooth issues are becoming more common and should be resolved in iOS update 26.0.1. All in all, this iPhone 17 is a great successor to the 13PM for me.
