"Whereas the iPhone Air is all about showing off its ridiculously thin and light design, the iPhone 17 Pros go in the opposite direction with thicker and heavier designs. Apple is basically saying, F*ck all that skinny noise, let's throw everything but the kitchen sink at them. Even better cameras on the front and back? Check. The longest battery life of any iPhone? Check. The most powerful mobile chip? Check."
"A custom-designed vapor chamber to make sure the iPhone 17 Pros don't overheat? Check. How about an in-your-face Cosmic Orange colorway that's actually fun? Check. iPhone 17 Pro and 17 Pro Max Apple's very best iPhones do not compromise on anything. Battery life, cameras, performance, displayseverything is better."
"Admittedly, the iPhone 17 Pros are not as lust-worthy compared to the iPhone Air. But that's okay, because they don't need to be. They're pro iPhones, which means they should be the best tools above everything else. And after a week of putting the iPhone 17 Pros through their paces, I'm overjoyed that Apple has now made its top-of-the-line phones actually pro-worthy. Getting everything doesn't come cheap. The iPhone 17 Pro starts at $1,099 and the iPhone 17 Pro Max starts at $1,199."
The iPhone 17 Pro and 17 Pro Max emphasize pro-grade capabilities rather than minimal weight or extreme thinness. Both models deliver enhanced front and rear cameras, the most powerful mobile chip, brighter displays, and the longest battery life in an iPhone lineup. A custom-designed vapor chamber improves thermal control while the design returns to a sturdier, thicker aluminum-based build with new color options like Cosmic Orange. Camera Control software remains unpopular despite hardware upgrades. Pricing starts at $1,099 for the 17 Pro and $1,199 for the 17 Pro Max, reflecting a no-compromise approach for users seeking professional tools.
