"There are plenty of dedicated iPhone users like myself who are loyal to base model iPhones. When I upgrade my iPhone every two or so years, I don't bother with the Pro variations. My position is that as the base model iPhones become more advanced, I don't need to spend a few hundred extra dollars on features that a casual user like me won't need. I'm the opposite of a power user, unless power is synonymous with a scary amount of scrolling through TikTok."
"One of the base model iPhone 17's most "Pro" features is its new upgraded display. Compared to the iPhone 16 -- and all previous standard generations before it -- the iPhone 17 and 17 Pro have the exact same display specifications. The base model iPhone 17 receives an upgraded 6.3-inch display, a 120Hz refresh rate, an always-on display, 2,622 x 1,206 pixel resolution, and 3,000 nits peak outdoor brightness."
Many dedicated iPhone users remain loyal to base model iPhones and often bypass Pro variations to avoid extra cost. The iPhone 17 base model matches several Pro display specifications, including a 6.3-inch screen, 120Hz refresh rate, always-on display, 2,622 x 1,206 resolution, and up to 3,000 nits peak outdoor brightness. Those display improvements were previously reserved for Pro models. The base model also gains an upgraded camera system, including an 18MP Center Stage front camera. The added Pro-level features increase value for casual users who do not need full Pro capabilities.
