iPhone 17: Is It Worth The Hype? 📱🔥

The Deets

Aight, listen up, fam! Apple just dropped the tea on the iPhone 17, iPhone 17 Pro, and iPhone 17 Pro Max. Plus, there's word on the street about a possible iPhone 17 Air – a super slim model. 👀

Mark your calendars: the Apple Event is confirmed for September 9th. That's when they'll spill all the tea. Pre-orders are prolly gonna start on September 12th, and you can expect these bad boys to drop on September 19th.

As for what's new, the design is rumored to be similar to the 16-series (so, not a total glow-up). But the base model might get a bigger screen, which is a W. We're also talkin' new A-Series chips for that extra zoom-zoom, 120Hz ProMotion displays across all variants (finally!), and boosted RAM for the Pro and Pro Max models. Oh, and obvi, camera and video recording upgrades, cuz that's always the vibe. 📸

Now, for the not-so-fire news: price hikes are expected. The base model might jump to $849-$899. 😬 But hey, at least the storage is supposedly getting bumped to 256GB. The Pro and Pro Max are also gonna see a price adjustment, so start saving those coins, bestie. 💰

Is it worth the splurge? If you're rockin' an older phone, then def. The cumulative effect of all the features is gonna hit different. And if you're all about that photography and videography life, the Pro and Pro Max upgrades might just make you ascend. 🌟

You can cop these phones on Apple's website, obvs, but also at major retailers in the US, UK, and Canada. Keep your eyes peeled for pre-order drops!

iOS 26, the software that'll run these bad boys (and even some older iPhones like the iPhone 11) is set to drop on September 15th or 16th. And if you're waiting on the reviews, they should be hitting the internet on September 16th or 17th. So stay tuned!
