I switched from the iPhone 15 Pro to the iPhone 17 Pro, and I don't regret it – here's why

As with many iPhone users, I tend to upgrade my phone every two years, but this year felt different.

My iPhone 15 Pro Max, outside of some minor battery degradation, was hardly a slouch. Using web apps, running a small business from its 6.7-inch display, and taking family photos was just as easy as it was when I bought the phone in 2023, so for the first time in a while, I didn’t feel like I needed to upgrade to Apple's latest flagship.

And yet, as I'm cursed to write about tech for a living, upgrade I did.
