iPhone 17 Pro Review: An Android User's Perspective

Quick Take

The iPhone 17 Pro feels like a piece of jewelry. The titanium frame is cooler to the touch, and the new 'Action Button 2.0' offers way more customization. As an Android user, I miss the notification management, but the video quality is simply unmatched.

What I Liked

• Battery Life: Easily lasts a day and a half, even with heavy 5G use in Delhi traffic.
• Video Quality: Cinematic mode now supports 8K, and it looks professional straight out of the camera.
• USB-C Speeds: Finally, Thunderbolt 4 speeds make transferring 4K ProRes files to my Windows PC bearable.
• Display: The 2500 nits peak brightness is a lifesaver under the harsh Indian sun.

What Could Be Better

• Charging Speed: Still capped at 35W wired charging, which feels slow compared to 100W+ on OnePlus/Xiaomi.
• Keyboard: The iOS keyboard prediction still lags behind Gboard.

Who Should Buy This

• Vloggers and content creators who need the best video camera in a pocket.
• Professionals deeply invested in the Apple ecosystem (MacBook, iPad user).
• Anyone holding onto an iPhone 13 or older—this is a massive upgrade.

Final Verdict

For an Android user, the wall over parts of the garden is lower than ever, but it's still there. However, the sheer consistency of the hardware makes it a temping switch.
