Reviews are in for the iPhone 17 Pro and 17 Pro Max, with critics praising their bold new design, best-in-class cameras, fast performance, and Apple's longest battery life yet. While the upgrades are more refinements than revolutionary, and the high price may give some buyers pause, these remain polished and well-rounded flagship smartphones.
The iPhone Air is debuting to mixed reviews. Undoubtedly the most interesting of the new iPhones, reviewers are loving the sleek design, smooth 120Hz display, and strong performance, but note its weak battery life, high price, and reports of it running hot.
The iPhone 17 is earning praise for its balance of performance and value, bringing the 120Hz ProMotion display at a more affordable price. Now starting at 256 GB of storage with improved cameras and the same base price, it's easily the best iPhone for most users.
In brief: While we hear lots of stories about devices' safety features being set off accidentally, there are plenty of incidents where they work as intended, potentially saving lives. Sixteen-year-old Lindsay Leskovac, for example, fell asleep behind the wheel of her truck, crashing the vehicle and breaking multiple bones and her spine. Her mother says that if it weren't for her iPhone's Crash Detection system, she would not have survived.
