Apple has officially declared war on itself with the regular iPhone 17! This is a strange phone that I really like to review. Stay tuned with WiseSelecting for the regular iPhone 17 review; a phone that I have a lot to say to you at the end.
iPhone 17 Design Review
The first part of the iPhone 17 review is the design section; where the design remains very similar to the previous generation. Aluminum all around, glass back, glass front. This generation has an upgraded front protector (Ceramic Shield). The design is cool. The color here is green; blue is beautiful, pink is beautiful, all colors are beautiful, but this green is the most beautiful of all, in my opinion.
The cameras are two below each other with a flash and the protrusion is reasonable. Fingerprints are very few; you can almost say that there are no traces left on it unless you look for dirt in the light! Aluminum all around; Aluminum, which is something between matte and shiny, has a very cool and cute feel.
The bottom of the phone has a Type-C port, two screw holes, a speaker, and a microphone. On the right edge is the power button and useless camera controls, and antenna lines. On the top is another antenna line, and on the left is the volume up and down buttons and the action button.
The front panel has extremely small bezels; from 86 to 90 percent of the screen compared to the front panel. 90 percent of the front panel is the screen, which is unique. Do you know why? Because a large part of it is this Dynamic Island. That is, we see 90 on phones that don’t have a Dynamic Island and we are surprised, now what if it has a Dynamic Island and its bezels are unique! The small bezels make it attractive. It has an IP68 certificate. It’s a neat, clean, and organized phone that, in my opinion, is incredibly attractive and comfortable to hold in the design department. There’s nothing lacking, it’s super attractive in the hand!

iPhone 17 Display Review
The next part is the display; where the regular iPhone 17 finally has a 120Hz display! After four or five generations, no one can make fun of Apple for using 60Hz. A 6.3-inch LTPO display that moves between 1 and 120; Apple has its own promotion, the HDR on the display is of excellent quality, the brightness is 3000, and overall it’s unparalleled.
The display has always been the Achilles heel of regular iPhones. That 60Hz was a bummer, but now it’s 120Hz and one of the biggest Achilles heels has disappeared, that’s it! And this display is great; that is, if you don’t want a large 6.9-inch display, this display has no flaws, nothing! It’s great, especially the bezels are small!
iPhone 17 Battery Review
The next part is the battery; where it has a 3692 mAh battery (Apple never says an official time). It gives you about 5 and a half hours of screen time. That means if you have normal use, for example, if you pick up the phone at 8 am at 100%, it will probably charge you until 8 pm if you have 5, 6 hours of screen time, which is usually the case. That means it is suitable for normal daily use, unless you are a phone addict and want to record videos, play games or do anything else for 24 hours, which is probably 5, 6, 6 and 7 pm, so that it can reach you by the end of the night.
An hour of Call of Duty reduces its charge by about 11%, and its charging performance is really more optimized compared to its previous generation. One of the reasons for the more optimized battery consumption is the LTPO display, which can switch between 1 and 120 Hz, it is no longer fixed at 60 Hz.
On the other hand, we have a Type-C 2nd generation port that doesn’t give you a very fast charging speed; it gives you 20 watts of charging, which takes 1 hour and a quarter, 1 hour and 20 minutes, 1 hour and a half depending on the conditions of its full charge. In the battery department, its performance is really good; that is, a battery that can answer your needs, it’s not very extraordinary, but it has an attractive optimal consumption.
iPhone 17 camera performance
The next part is much more important. Finally, another Achilles heel of normal iPhones has been fixed; that is, the two sensors here are 48 megapixels. Normal iPhone cameras were always a generation behind, had some bugs, were a bit weaker, but now they give you 2 to 48 (wide and main).
The disadvantage (which is another Achilles heel of this phone) is that you don’t have a telephoto. How much you use the telephoto now depends on you. The disadvantage is that it doesn’t have a telephoto, otherwise its main 48 takes really neat and tidy photos. Its dynamic range is unparalleled, it gives you a cool white balance, the photos are clean and tidy, with detail, color and light, everything is good. It’s unparalleled in portrait mode, it’s great in night mode, it’s doing everything. That means you have a very good camera that you can take beautiful photos with that Apple style and style. The 48 ultra wide gives you something clean and neat. Sometimes there is distortion, which is normal for 48, but you can also take clean and neat ultra wide photos with it.
One very important point is that we don’t have that telephoto that gives you optical zoom here, but it gives you an optical quality that gives you up to twice the digital zoom, it tries to increase it and it works, but it doesn’t have the optics that it should have.
It’s really good at photography. In videography, this normal iPhone takes better videos than many Android flagships of the same price. Clean stabilizer, excellent dynamic range, good sharpness. The videos it takes are also exceptionally good; It shoots videos up to 4K at 60 frames per second, smooth, clean, and beautiful in Apple’s style. That means the spirit of Apple flows beautifully in the videos of this phone.
iPhone 17 selfie camera performance
The selfie camera is the same 18-megapixel Apple this year, which is unparalleled; it really is the best selfie in the world in my opinion. Because it gives you very good features. That crop that I told you about in the Pro version review video (the crop that gives you from the middle of the sensor that you can take landscape and portrait photos at the same time), it understands its own control.
The quality of the selfie it takes is also really attractive. I’m taking a selfie right now. You can widen, rotate, shrink, enlarge, landscape beautifully. The photo is really clean and neat; that is, this phone has all the things that a good selfie photo should have. It can almost be said for sure that Apple’s selfie this year is really better than all the phones here; In all respects, both the quality and the features and features it gives you.
iPhone 17: A Revolution in Apple’s Design, Performance, and Strategy
Hardware and user interface review of the iPhone 17
Here it is. The next part is the hardware section; where the Apple A19 processor is on this phone. A neat and clean processor; that is, it is true that it is not Pro, but it is still really good in performance. The user interface that is clear, smooth and attractive, is very good and optimal in games.
The point is that this phone does not have a cooling system, but the stability loss is very rare and in my opinion the processor is also a processor that can give you features and work beautifully for years. The environment is clear, attractive and clean. I am glad that iOS 26 is on this phone; the most up-to-date iOS you can have. Apple will give you updates like this for 6, 7 years.
A few points that there are are that AI is not in it at the moment. That is, Apple’s AI is one of Apple’s Achilles’ heels, not just the regular iPhone 17, the iPhone 17 Pro is the same. iPhones in general don’t do well in AI right now, there’s not much you can do with it.
The point is that Apple’s hardware and software are always synced; that is, you don’t see lag, bugs, slowness, etc. Another interesting point that I mentioned earlier is that Apple has declared war on itself, is that the base version of the iPhone 17 is no longer 128, its base version is 256 GB! The important point is that it is also selling the base version of the 256 GB for the same price as the base version of the iPhone 16 last year, which was 128 GB; that is, it has increased the memory to 128 GB but has not changed the price, and this means that Apple seems to have hit a rock! It has removed all the weaknesses that the normal iPhone had from it and is really something that is the number one enemy of its Pros.
iPhone 17 Speaker Review
Let’s move on to the last part, the speaker performance and music playback section, and then I’ll tell you the extremely important summary. The sound is naturally stereo, the sound model is cleaner, but the Pro versions have a better feel and feel, the resolution is a bit weak, but it gives you a reasonable and good volume.
Is the iPhone 17 worth buying?
Let’s move on to the summary of the iPhone 17 review. The important point at the beginning of the video was that Apple declared war on itself by introducing the iPhone 17, because this phone has the potential to eat its Pro versions. You may not believe it, but it has this potential. Why? Because they always gave normal iPhones the flaw of a lagging camera and a 60 Hz screen.
Apple has removed two of its major flaws in this normal iPhone 17. Its cameras are reliable cameras; it’s true that they don’t have a telephoto (now we don’t care how much telephoto is used). My screen is now 120 Hz. My base version has 256 GB of memory.
Clean design, great screen, reasonably good battery, clean camera, stable processor; it has everything and is cheaper than the iPhone 17 Pro Max.
They no longer need to buy the Pro because their screen is in front of them, they no longer need to buy the Pro because its main camera is different from this one, they no longer need to buy the Pro because its battery wants to bother them. And this means that Apple has either hit a rock and become kind, or has officially declared war on itself. In my opinion, if its price stays in its right place, if the dollar doesn’t rise, and there are no critical situations, it will be one of the best iPhones in human history. It’s over and gone!
