Impressive. I (and others) have been saying base iPhones are a joke for a reason. One of the biggest reasons was 60hz screen. We were right! It was rumored long ago that 17 will get 120hz and maybe other updates but this is even better than I expected from Apple, 2nd class manufacturer

while i am not supporting android-sideloading-restriction-plan, one things for sure, if majority of ios user dont complain about restricted side-loading, then it will be same to android
simply because majority of people dont use sideloading, majority use playstore, some that use 3rd party because the apps not showup in their playstore (like apkmirror) wont be affected as long the apk source is from / have playstore verification

Forsi147, 09 Sep 2025Welcome to 2019, Apple.Didn’t know they had 3000 nits full screen (not peak) brightness in 2019. This display is on par with the 17 Pro and better than the 16 Pro. It is quite likely the best display in any smartphone.

Google wants people to compare the Pixel 10 to iPhones. Well, people are doing it, everyone is saying that this demolishes the Pixel... :)
I'm not interested in buying an iPhone, iOS is really not for me, but I'm still very happy with this announcement, because upgrades like this will make Android manufacturers to finally start innovating. Maybe the base Samsung S series will get upgrades now and won't be using the same cameras as the S22? If so, thanks Apple.
Tim Cooked with this one.

Rosso, 09 Sep 2025And in one move Apple went from having a joke of a phone at... moreIt took them this long because they had awful competition even for their 60hz previous phones.
Check this year Pixel 10 for example.
Samsung isnt great either, offering base UFS 3.1 128gb storage, they are still using Exynos chips(Galaxy S22,S24,S26),old camera hardware, slow fast charging and small battery on their S 25 .
Xiaomi day one is asking more money than Apple for their Xiaomi 15 because they offer more storage.

While Android removes unrestricted app loading, Apple improves its base model. I see no reason to buy any Android phone above 800$ except for the Folds.

Unbelievable!!!
Base iPhone actually is competitive against the current crop of Androids.
256gb base is really gooooood.
Now, all the 8gb/128gb androids will be less and less desired(S25 FE, you can go in the bin).
Yes, price is still a factor, when you consider trade-ins, freebies and cash backs on some of the androids, but still this base iPhone will be a bestseller!

Absolute killer of a phone. Didn't expect them to put 256GB and LTPO and don't touch the price.
All the rumors were suggesting LTPS and 128GB.
Great job Apple 👏

120Hz on the base iPhone. Wow. Didn't think they would do it, but I guess it was inevitable even though it's take a long while.

Fusion camera and center stage selfie is impressive, technically base ip has wide/ultra wide and macro, 256base, 120hz promotion, decent charging, only battery capacity bit letdown but overall a very competitive phone.
Exciting cant wait for october for new flagship androids from vivo/xiaomi/oppo.

All round impressive upgrades, and holy shit finally 256GB base storage. This year, apple's releases has impressed me. That orange shade for 17 Pro is fantastic.
No excuse for Google for next year releases.

Big surprise for Samsung. Go 144hz or 165hz now. Come on.
