Apple's recent keynote saw an unexpected $100 price hike for the iPhone 17, a departure from anticipated price cuts. This increase was applied to most iPhone models. However, promotional offers are mitigating the impact.
Verizon is currently offering the iPhone 17 for free to customers who activate a new line with a qualifying unlimited plan. This deal presents a significant opportunity for consumers.
The base iPhone 17 now comes equipped with an enhanced 120Hz display, faster 30W wired charging, a brighter screen, and double the storage compared to its predecessor, the iPhone 16. The upgraded storage is particularly beneficial for users who frequently shoot high-resolution video.
Furthermore, the new 18MP Center Stage selfie camera offers a wider field of view and retains detail even when cropped. In testing, its battery life surpassed the iPhone 16, lasting 12 hours and 47 minutes.
