NeoTeo's verdict
Which of the two is the better buy
Apple iPhone 17 Pro is the choice for more performance, camera capability, and storage, while iPhone 17 suits buyers who value a lighter, thinner body. Its overall score is 8.4 versus 7.9. The Pro leads performance with Apple A19 Pro, 12 GB of RAM, 1 TB of storage, and an AnTuTu score of 2,381,751, compared with Apple A19, 8 GB, 512 GB, and 2,239,708 for iPhone 17.
The camera is the Pro’s clearest advantage: its 1/1.3″ main sensor and 1.22 µm pixels are larger than iPhone 17’s 1/1.56″ sensor and 1 µm pixels, and it also adds a telephoto camera. iPhone 17 has the wider f/1.6 aperture versus f/1.8, but the Pro offers more video options, including 4K at 120 fps, ProRes, and Apple Log 2. Battery capacity also favors the Pro at 4252 mAh versus 3692 mAh; both share 40 W fast charging, 25 W wireless charging, and 53 h per cycle.
iPhone 17 is notably lighter and thinner at 177 g and 7.95 mm versus 206 g and 8.8 mm for the Pro, a difference that is easier to feel than the Pro’s glass, aluminum alloy, and ceramic construction versus glass and aluminum alloy. Both have a 6.3″ LTPO OLED display, 3000 nits peak brightness, and IP68. The Pro adds tri-band Wi-Fi, USB 3.2, and infrared, while iPhone 17 has dual-band Wi-Fi and USB 2.0. The choice is therefore camera and capacity versus lightness.
Apple iPhone 17 Pro
Apple iPhone 17 Pro is the better buy for cameras and performance, with a 1/1.3″ sensor, telephoto camera, and Apple A19 Pro.
Apple iPhone 17
Apple iPhone 17 is the better buy for lightness, weighing 177 g and measuring 7.95 mm thick.
