Why the iPhone 17 makes sense at this price
120Hz display at last
Apple finally brought ProMotion to the non-Pro iPhone with the iPhone 17.The 120Hz OLED display is smooth to use and a huge improvement over the older iPhones for users upgrading from those devices.
Excellent daily performance
With Apple’s A19 processor, the iPhone 17 is capable of handling heavy multitasking, video processing, and long gaming sessions without any issues. Its performance is still one of its greatest aspects, even when compared to newer Android models.
Upgraded selfie camera
The new 18-megapixel Centre Stage front camera delivers sharper selfies and is especially useful for group photos, offering features previously reserved for Pro models.

One reason you may want to skip it
No telephoto camera
Despite improvements to the camera system, the iPhone 17 still lacks a telephoto lens. Users who rely heavily on zoom photography may find better value in Android rivals like Oppo or Vivo, which offer more versatile camera hardware at similar prices.
