While the bright orange iPhone 17 Pro gets all the attention, Apple's iPhone 17 has quietly turned out to be this year's early roaring success, with preorders beating out the iPhone 16 . If your current serviceable but aging iPhone is starting to feel rusty, maybe this is the year to replace it with a new iPhone 17.

But is the iPhone 17 worth it, or is it better to look for an older iPhone ? The new model starts at $829, but here's the kicker: Apple finally did away with the measly 128GB base storage. The new entry-level model now starts at a much more reasonable 256GB, which is a long-overdue bump that might just make the upgrade a no-brainer.
