Which iPhone 17 Model Should You Buy? Esquire's 2025 Review
"I'm still looking for my fall jacket. And football weather isn't quite here yet, but I know it's fall because I've got a new iPhone in my pocket. My phone's images are so crisp, that even my Leica is on the shelf for the moment. And like clockwork, I'm fielding questions at home, with friends, and around the office: "Is the new iPhone worth buying?" It's a dumb question."
"For example, as I love to tell people, I'm an iPhone Mini devotee. It's been half a decade since I last bought a phone because I love my Mini. I don't watch TV or game on my phone except for when I'm obligated to for work. Funnily enough, it makes me the perfect iPhone tester. I can't be swayed by refresh speeds, processing power, or a giant stupid screen."
New York feels unusually warm and muggy at 80°F, delaying typical fall weather cues. A new iPhone produces images so crisp that a dedicated Leica sits unused. Common consumer questions about whether the newest iPhone is worth buying often miss the point; the choice depends on which model suits individual needs. A long-term iPhone Mini devotee prioritizes compact size, casual photography, reliable microphone performance for song identification, and all-day battery life for event use. Model roles map to a football analogy: iPhone 17 Pro as quarterback, Air as star wide receiver, and the regular 17 as the offensive line.
