The iPhone 17 is the phone most iOS users should buy. It&#8217;s also the most colorful iPhone on the market if you want a handset with a little personality.<\/p>\n<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>If you put the iPhone 17 and the new iPhone 18 Pro Max head-to-head, the latter smartphone would win, handily. But last year&#8217;s iPhone 17 is still the most well-rounded, &#8220;just right&#8221; phone in Apple&#8217;s lineup. (We don&#8217;t expect the new base model iPhone 18 to land until spring 2027.) <\/p>\n<p>The iPhone 17 is a fast-enough, long-lasting-enough, nice-looking-enough smartphone that feels &#8220;Pro&#8221; where it counts for most people. Namely, it has a 120Hz, always-on display and an ultrawide camera with a dedicated macro mode, but none of the extra photography or thermal fixings intended for superusers. Compared to the budget iPhone 17e, which costs $200 less, it has a brighter, smoother screen, nicer cameras, and 15 percent more battery life.<\/p>\n<p>Was the iPhone 17 an earth-shattering upgrade over the iPhone 16? Not really, but it got better in some crucial yet practical ways without straying over the $1,000 mark. Mashable senior editor Stan Schroeder christened it &#8220;the most compelling standard iPhone in years.&#8221; <\/p>\n<div class=\"flex relative flex-col p-6 max-w-3xl mx-auto mt-8 mb-16 font-sans

It&#8217;s a compact little device with a sharp, if not super-smooth display, and a battery that should last you a day between charges. It runs on the same A19 chip as the regular iPhone 17 and starts with the same amount of storage (256GB), which makes it more future-proof than last year&#8217;s iPhone 16e (which started with half that).<\/p>\n<p>The cameras on the iPhone 17e aren&#8217;t as &#8220;versatile&#8221; as the ones on the iPhone 17, Schroeder said;\u00a0it lacks an ultrawide lens and has a noticeably inferior front camera. But at least it takes marginally better low-light pictures than its predecessor. <\/p>\n<div class=\"flex relative flex-col p-6 max-w-3xl mx-auto mt-8 mb-16 font-sans border border-gray-100 pogoClear md:flex-row\" data-commerce-block=\"\">\n<div class=\"md:mx-0 relative md:w-1\/2\">\n                                                        <a href=\"https:\/\/cc.mashable.com\/v1\/otc\/03bCs1jQxEftXGkZ7A6Km1e?merchant=03IVvTZj1Zktn3DO4jE8ohe&amp;url=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.t-mobile.com%2Fcell-phone%2Fapple-iphone-17e&amp;template=article&amp;module=shop-card&amp;element=offer&amp;item=offer-image&amp;position=2&amp;element_label=image&amp;u=https%3A%2F%2Fmashable.com%2Farticle-route-prefix%2Ftech%2Fbest-iphones-apple&amp;product_uuid=06hU1CObDflCqoilE1fPA8w&amp;offer_uuid=05ItqEV2vTVoa5u1399aeVL&amp;object_type=article&amp;object_uuid=04JJWgvyMLN5dgg2HTKsFXt\" data-commerce=\"1\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"sponsored\" data-parent-group=\"affiliate-link\" title=\"(opens in a new window)\" data-ga-click=\"1\" data-ga-element=\"offer\" data-ga-action=\"offer-image\" data-ga-item=\"offer-image\" data-ga-label=\"image\" data-ga-position=\"2\" data-ga-module=\"shop-card\" class=\"block overflow-hidden relative w-full border border-gray-100 aspect-square border-1\"><br \/>\n    <img decoding=\"async\" class=\"object-contain absolute inset-0 p-12 w-full h-full\" src=\"https:\/\/helios-i.mashable.com\/imagery\/articles\/04JJWgvyMLN5dgg2HTKsFXt\/images-6.fill.size_211x256.v1789654548.png\" alt=\"the apple iphone 17e\" width=\"211\" height=\"256\" loading=\"lazy\"\/><br \/>\n<\/a>                                        <\/div>\n<div class=\"pl-0 mt-3 w-full md:pl-7 md:mt-0 md:w-1\/2\">\n<div wp_automatic_readability=\"4.2439024390244\">\n<div class=\"flex justify-between items-center py-0 mb-3 md:space-x-2\" wp_automatic_readability=\"7\">\n<p>\n                                                    <span class=\"text-sm font-bold\">$0 with trade-in on Experience Beyond plan<\/span><br \/>\n                                                            <span class=\"text-xs\"> at T-Mobile<\/span><br \/>\n                                                        <\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<p>\u00a0<\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<h3>iPhone 17e specs<\/h3>\n<ul wp_automatic_readability=\"4\">\n<li wp_automatic_readability=\"1\">\n<p><strong>Screen size and display:<\/strong> 6.1-inch OLED display with 2,532 x 1,170 resolution and 60Hz refresh rate<\/p>\n<\/li>\n<li wp_automatic_readability=\"-1\">\n<p><strong>Cameras: <\/strong>48MP (wide) and 12MP (front)<\/p>\n<\/li>\n<li wp_automatic_readability=\"-1\">\n<p><strong>Battery life (rated):<\/strong> Up to 26 hours of video playback<\/p>\n<\/li>\n<li>\n<p><strong>Processor: <\/strong>Apple A19<\/p>\n<\/li>\n<li>\n<p><strong>Storage: <\/strong>256GB or 512GB<\/p>\n<\/li>\n<li wp_automatic_readability=\"1\">\n<p><strong>Colors: <\/strong>Black, white, or soft pink<\/p>\n<\/li>\n<li wp_automatic_readability=\"-1\">\n<p><strong>Dimensions:<\/strong> 5.78 x 2.82 x 0.31 inches<\/p>\n<\/li>\n<li>\n<p><strong>Weight:<\/strong> 5.96 ounces<\/p>\n<\/li>\n<li>\n<p><strong>Software: <\/strong>iOS 27<\/p>\n<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h2 id=\"best-iphone-for-photography-iphone-18-pro\">Best iPhone for photography: iPhone 18 Pro<\/h2>\n<div class=\"eloquent-imagery-image\" wp_automatic_readability=\"8\">\n<div class=\"flex justify-center\">\n                    <img decoding=\"async\" class=\"w-full\" src=\"https:\/\/helios-i.mashable.com\/imagery\/articles\/04JJWgvyMLN5dgg2HTKsFXt\/images-3.fill.size_2000x1125.v1789654020.png\" alt=\"the iphone 18 pro in a man's hand\" width=\"2000\" height=\"1125\" loading=\"lazy\" srcset=\"https:\/\/helios-i.mashable.com\/imagery\/articles\/04JJWgvyMLN5dgg2HTKsFXt\/images-3.fill.size_800x450.v1789654020.png 800w, https:\/\/helios-i.mashable.com\/imagery\/articles\/04JJWgvyMLN5dgg2HTKsFXt\/images-3.fill.size_1400x788.v1789654020.png 1400w, https:\/\/helios-i.mashable.com\/imagery\/articles\/04JJWgvyMLN5dgg2HTKsFXt\/images-3.fill.size_2000x1125.v1789654020.png 2000w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1408px) 100vw, 1408px\"\/><\/p><\/div>\n<p>\n            <span class=\"normal-case text-gray-1000\">Good riddance, cosmic orange.<\/span><br \/>\n            <span class=\"text-gray-600 credit\">Credit: Stan Schroeder \/ Mashable<\/span>\n        <\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<ul wp_automatic_readability=\"0.4150641025641\">\n<li wp_automatic_readability=\"0\">\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/mashable.com\/tech\/iphone-18-pro-max-review\" target=\"_blank\" data-ga-click=\"1\" data-ga-label=\"$text\" data-ga-item=\"text-link\" data-ga-module=\"content_body\"><strong>Read our full review of the iPhone 18 Pro and Pro Max<\/strong><\/a><\/p>\n<\/li>\n<li wp_automatic_readability=\"2\">\n<p><strong>Who it&#8217;s for: <\/strong>Get the smaller Pro if you&#8217;re a mobile photographer or creator looking for the iPhone with the best cameras.

This gives you more control over the exposure and depth of field of photos. It works automatically, but you can also adjust it manually via the Camera app. There, you&#8217;ll find other new Pro controls for tweaking settings like white balance and shutter speed; new Photographic Styles; new Cinematic effects that can be applied to videos after they&#8217;re recorded; and a new Focus Tracking tool that locks on moving subjects. <\/p>\n<p>The average user might appreciate its camera upgrades, &#8220;but I do bet that the majority of people will try out the manual aperture setting once and then leave it on auto,&#8221; wrote Mashable&#8217;s Schroeder in his review. Power users will make the best use of them.<\/p>\n<p>Besides the new camera features, the new A20 Pro chip also provides extra support for AI tasks, including the newer, smarter Siri AI. There&#8217;s plenty of storage space, too: Unlike older iPhones, the 18 Pro supports up to 2TB of storage.<\/p>\n<div class=\"flex relative flex-col p-6 max-w-3xl mx-auto mt-8 mb-16 font-sans border

If you set it next to one of the iPhone Pros, &#8220;it feels like a Ford F-150 parked next to a Porsche,&#8221; he wrote. &#8220;The Porsche may not have the utility that a pick-up has, but it turns heads.&#8221; The bezels on its smooth, detailed display are virtually invisible, and its rear camera bump blends into the back of its chassis when you look at it straight-on. It&#8217;s made from titanium, so it&#8217;s not easy to scratch up, and it&#8217;s super comfy to hold. It&#8217;s peak Apple sleekness.<\/p>\n<p>An A19 Pro chip makes the iPhone Air mildly faster than the A19-powered iPhone 17, though it doesn&#8217;t last as long.

wp_automatic_readability=\"3\">\n<p><strong>Who it&#8217;s for: <\/strong>The latest iPhone Pro Max is geared toward battery life maximizers who hate being chained to an outlet, avid mobile gamers, and well-off Apple fans with large hands. That&#8217;s not a euphemism for anything: This is a big ol&#8217; phone. <\/p>\n<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>The iPhone 18 Pro Max is rated for up to 45 hours of video playback per charge, making it the longest-lasting iPhone ever. (Its battery is so big that Apple had to come up with a way to get around shipping restrictions that limit battery sizes, according to <a href=\"https:\/\/www.macrumors.com\/2026\/09\/18\/iphone-18-pro-max-shipping-restriction\/\" target=\"_blank\" data-ga-click=\"1\" data-ga-label=\"$text\" data-ga-item=\"text-link\" data-ga-module=\"content_body\" title=\"(opens in a new window)\">MacRumors<\/a>.) Inside, you&#8217;ll find the powerful A20 Pro chip and an improved vapor chamber cooling system that helps prevent overheating during extended heavy use. Schroeder tried to push this new hardware to the limit &#8220;by playing a few games of <em>PUBG: Battlegrounds<\/em> on the highest settings for a full hour,&#8221; he wrote, and &#8220;The phone barely got warm.&#8221; What&#8217;s more, its battery only fell by nine percent. <\/p>\n<p>The regular iPhone 18 Pro has the same chipset and cooling system as the Max version, but it&#8217;s shorter-lived and smaller. The iPhone 18 Pro Max&#8217;s size is an advantage for mobile gamers and movie-watchers who value immersion. Its display is the biggest you can get on any iPhone \u2014 that is,\u00a0until the iPhone Duo arrives.<\/p>\n<div class=\"flex relative flex-col p-6 max-w-3xl mx-auto mt-8 mb-16 font-sans border
