Weekly poll: which iPhone 17 model will you buy? Or did Apple miss the mark?

14 September 2025
Apple introduced a new look for the Pros, introduced the super-thin Air and made the vanilla iPhone better than ever (relative to the Pro).

justasmile, 21 Sep 2025Free 1TB, you get compromises. Stay paranoid.That's all you can say because YOU DIDN'T give me a good explanation as to why I SHOULDN'T get a 2TB iPhone 17 Pro Max!

      But that still requires Money. And you need to pay monthly just to maintain that 2TB Cloud Storage. Compared to my statement which is a ONE TIME PAYMENT.

      "Yes"?

      Then tell me straight How can I save my scenic Photos while in the middle of nowhere with no CELLULAR SIGNAL or WIFI?

      "And for the rest, stop being paranoid. Government may have control but you definitely won't have ever seen a case of them removing pictures without consent. They're very unlikely to become North Korea, hence very unlikely to remove photos without consent"

      You can't accept the fact that the Government can access and remove my cloud photos without my consent. That alone is a MAJOR NO for me.

      "Also, isn't it a good thing that pictures of you taking aliens or UFO is shared? At least you helped solve a myth"

      I just gave you an example. And I can already tell that you've failed to sway me from getting a 2TB iPhone 17 Pro Max. You're just trolling because you can't accept the fact that this is the first 2TB smartphone in the entire world! If this was android? You will tell a different story. And will mock apple because they don't have this kind of storage space.

And are you sure that the Government won't violate my privacy rights if I stored any contents on my Cloud Storage. Especially if I take photos of ALIENS or UFO? You didn't even know that the Government CAN and will ERASE your Contents in your Cloud Storage without your Consent.

              Yes, Storage Fails eventually, and cloud storage services isn't that much of a difference. And they don't last longer especially if the company that owns the cloud storage goes bankrupt and decides to close down the company. So in the end. A Physical 2TB internal storage solves the problem most of the time.
              Yes I know Terabox Offers 1TB for free. But I won't be surprised if the companies suffered the same fate as the other cloud storage companies like Nirvanix, Bitcasa, and NetEase.

                Foxtrot2Novmbr, 15 Sep 2025Why 2TB? 1. I'm always out of town. Cellular Signal i... moreChances of a network outage when you need it are close to none and get resolved quickly.

                Storage fails eventually, while cloud storage will last longer; Google and Apple are unlikely to shut down, the worst case scenario is that they're bought over by another company, or they stop being money hungry

                And as said, 1TB is free on Terabox and don't need payment

                        justasmile, 15 Sep 2025Yeah, but why 2TB? You didn't answer the question.Why 2TB?
                        1. I'm always out of town. Cellular Signal is always Juggling. And when I reach to my destination. I only have 1 Bar.
                        2. With 2TB. I can download and Play the Games all that I wanted without having to worry about Storage Space.
                        3. With 2TB. I don't have to pay a Monthly Storage Fee.
                        4. With 2TB. I don't have problems accessing my stored contents since its OFFLINE.
                        5. With 2TB. I can carry the Movies, Series, and Anime without the Requirements of a WIFI or DATA.
                        6. With 2TB. I can carry the Ebooks I always read without any Online Connection.
                        7. With 2TB. I can carry all the Music Library that I saved without choosing the Music that I will only need.
                        8. With 2TB. Storing Raw Pictures will have no Problem. And I won't need an External USB type C storage to transfer all my Photo contents.

                        Now tell me. How good is a Cloud Storage when there's a Network Outage? How much will I need to pay Month for a 2TB Storage compared to a ONE TIME Storage purchase?

                          iPhone 17 Air brings nothing special.

                          Remember iPhone 6? It was almost as thin, and that was many years ago.

                          In the past years Apple has failed to innovate and this year is no exception.

                            Only the vanilla iPhone 17 is worth it this year. Everything else looks incredibly half baked IMO.

                              I know the iPhone 17 Pro Max is made like a rugged phone to make the iPhone Air look prettier and sexier. Maybe in the future it will be called iPhone 20, iPhone 20 Pro with a thin body, while iPhone 20 Ultra with a thick body and a jumbo battery.

                                  Still sticking with OnePlus. Very happy with their focus/value compared to alternative brands available in US. Don't need the "best" camera, just a powerhouse with strong battery for a reasonable price. Next year the 15R will likely be an excellent option to last me 4 years.
