00:00So this is the Google Pixel. I mean the iPhone 17 Air.
00:12And if you think you're the only one disgusted with that design, you... you're probably not alone.
00:17Hold up!
00:23So it looks like Apple will be disappointing us this year.
00:26Like the year before. And before and before.
00:28The iPhone 17 is just days away.
00:31And you've probably have seen tens of videos speaking about it.
00:34But hey, I'm here today to give you the sauce.
00:37What others didn't tell you, what to expect and what to avoid at all cost.
00:42So, let's start.
00:46Let's start with a question.
00:48From those two iPhones, can you guess which one is the 16 and 17?
00:52Well, you probably can't tell the difference.
00:54Because those are both an iPhone 16.
00:57Now, this is the iPhone 17.
01:00No, seriously.
01:01That's the real iPhone 17.
01:03You probably can't tell the difference either.
01:05But the change this year was in the size.
01:07The 17 will be a 6.3 inches instead of a 6.1.
01:11The thickness also changed from 7.8 millimeters to 5.5 millimeters.
01:16If you flip the phone to the front, you'll find a smaller dynamic island instead of that sausage
01:21in the 16.
01:22And by the way, did you notice that iPhone is loosing its hair with every release?
01:26I mean, he's not alone.
01:28Samsung, too.
01:29Anyway, the 17 will also upgrades to a 120 hertz refresh rate screen.
01:34Gets an always-on display and an improved front-facing camera.
01:38So, those are the 17 upgrades.
01:40If you have a 16 or even a 15, just don't waste your money.
01:44Because for the first time in years, Apple is increasing the prices for the whole 17 lineup.
01:49And that's not an opinion or a prediction.
01:52It's directly from 9 to 5 Mac and some sources.
01:56Knowing that there will also likely be a price increase.
01:58So, if Apple follows the pricing from last year that keeps the base iPhone 17 still at 800 bucks,
02:02it puts the Air up to about $949.
02:05The Pro at $1,049 and the Pro Max at $1,249, the cheapest one you can get.
02:10So, to summarize, the whole 17 lineup will either see a $50 or $100 increase.
02:15Is it worth that money?
02:17Hell no!
02:17The Google Pixel- I mean, the iPhone 17 Air-
02:20I'd definitely put it down here and skip it.
02:22Look, no offense, but this phone is just a robbery.
02:26Check out MKBHD's opinion before I give you mine.
02:29I would just be insulted if I was an Apple customer and they were like,
02:32yeah, here's our much, much thinner phone that has much less battery,
02:36but it's the same all-day battery.
02:37This phone can literally break just by looking at it.
02:42I'm about to end this man's whole career.
02:44This phone's battery dies faster than your motivation.
02:47Okay, hear this out.
02:50This is the sound quality you'll get from the 17 Air.
02:53Why?
02:54Because Apple removed the bottom speaker due to the tinier size,
02:57so no place for the stereo speaker,
03:00and the sound will only rely on the earpiece speakers.
03:03So, to sum up, if you only care about your look when holding the iPhone,
03:12this phone will suit you well.
03:14Rather than that-
03:15Run.
03:15Why are you running?
03:16The Pro, unlike the base 17 and 17 Air, is where things start to change.
03:21And here is where I can start advising you to upgrade.
03:24The 17 Pro and 17 Pro Max will share the same design this year.
03:28Though, it would have been better if Apple changed only the Pro Max to make the Pro more recognizable.
03:35Size-wise, the 17 Pro won't really change from the 16 Pro.
03:39Maybe a slight increase in thickness, without considering the camera bump.
03:42The first upgrade that I think you'll actually find exciting is the new 17 Pro colors.
03:48The Pro will come in five colors.
03:50Three usual ones, one unusual color, and one special color.
03:54Or what Apple like to call, the liquid ask.
03:57I mean, glass.
03:58This is a kind of gradient color that shifts its tint depending on the lightning or even
04:03under the sun if you are outside.
04:05And I think you know which one will sell best.
04:08The phone frame will be made from aluminum, moving away from the titanium used in previous
04:12models.
04:13But unlike the 16 Pro, most of the iPhone 17 Pro and Pro Max will be covered with this
04:19new material, including the camera.
04:21And that will give you a better protection when dropping your phone, so it won't shatter easily
04:25as the glass in the 16.
04:27The aluminum switch will also make the Pro models lighter, and will also save Apple few
04:31bucks, since it's cheaper than titanium.
04:34The spec-
04:35Wait!
04:36Still not subscribed?
04:37Come on, bro.
04:38All you have to do is follow the damn train!
04:40Like and subscribe.
04:41The special feature about the Pro this year will be the reverse charging, which simply means
04:46that just with your phone, you can charge your Apple Watch and AirPods.
04:49But hey, it's still not clear if Apple will be Apple, and restrict this feature only to
04:54Apple products.
04:55But to be honest with you, knowing Apple, it's a 99% chance yes, and only 1% also yes.
05:02Of course, this feature will require a bigger and stronger battery.
05:06The 17 Pro, unlike the 17 Air, will come with a 4500mAh battery, which is similar to the
05:13one in the 16 Pro Max, which means a longer battery life and stronger performance.
05:19Especially with the help of the new A19 Pro chip, the camera performance will also get
05:24a boost this year.
05:25While it still uses the 45 megapixel sensor, same as the 16, this time all lenses will feature
05:31that same sensor.
05:32Which, in simple terms, means better zooms, higher quality images, and 8K videos.
05:38And that's the bright side of that model.
05:40But it's also worth mentioning that Apple will make some changes in the storage option.
05:44The Pro has always been the only model with 4 different storage tiers to choose from.
05:50But this year, Apple is removing the entry level, the 128GB option.
05:55Which means starting directly at the 256GB option.
05:59And that's one of the many reasons that explains why Apple is raising its prices.
06:04For this model, I can only say,
06:06APPROVED!
06:07Most of what we said about the Pro also applies to the Pro Max with few exceptions.
06:12The same color options, same storage options, same thickness, same camera upgrade, same reverse
06:18charging.
06:19But the only change?
06:20A 5000mAh battery!
06:22That's literally the biggest and largest battery in Apple's history!
06:27You know, Apple is cooked.
06:29When they celebrate something Samsung has had since 2020.
06:32And is available in their last 5 lineups.
06:34Anyway, if you're going for the 16 this year, I'd advise you to wait and not upgrade.
06:39Apple is a great company, but not every release is worth it.
06:42Especially if it's $1000.
06:44If it's your first iPhone, just go ahead.
06:46But if-
06:47What about the Air?
06:48Anything except the Air.
06:49If you want to learn more about the base 17 and 17 Air, you can watch this video.
06:54Thanks for watching.
