    Finally upgraded from my iPhone XR and I am happy with my purchase. The iPhone 17 is sleek, has great camera quality and battery life. I thought the 17 was a great option at the price point. I did not feel like I needed the bells and whistles of the 17 Pro.

    Not that much different that the phone that I had. A little smaller and seems a litte heavier. All in all, I am still getting used to the differences.

    The product has been a challenge for me but I am learning how to use it as I go. I like the many options it has, especially the speed and the color of the device.

    I bought this for my husband as he didn't want a Pro Max model because of the size. Decent storage and up updated phone and a good price. Paid in full, did not finance through my carrier.

    For the first time, I bought my phone here rather than from my provider. It was easy to do and not time consuming. I love not being tied into a contract with my provider as a result of upgrading my phone.
