### Apple’s iPhone 17 Pro: The ‘Revolutionary’ Rectangle You’ve Been Waiting For
Ah, the iPhone 17 Pro. Apple’s latest attempt at reinventing the wheel—or in this case, the same old rectangle. If you’ve been yearning for a device that’s *slightly* different but costs as much as a small car, then boy, do I have news for you. According to a thrilling report from MacRumors, Apple is once again pushing the boundaries of what they can convince us to buy.
### What’s New? (Spoiler: Not Much)
Let’s dive into the groundbreaking “innovations” Apple has sprinkled onto the iPhone 17 Pro:
– **Rounded Edges:** Because sharp edges are so 2023. Apple’s designers have, after years of deep soul-searching, decided that rounded edges are the future. Revolutionary, isn’t it?
– **Titanium Build:** Yes, the iPhone 17 Pro is now wrapped in titanium. Not because it makes the phone significantly better, but because it sounds really cool in a press release. If you’ve ever wanted a phone sturdy enough to survive a zombie apocalypse, here’s your chance.
– **Thinner Bezels:** The bezels are now so thin, you might need a magnifying glass to find them. Of course, thinner bezels mean more screen, so you can better see all those fingerprints smudging your display.
– **A Camera Bump That’s Now a Plateau:** Apple has subtly redesigned the camera bump. It’s still a bump, but it’s a *different* bump. Truly groundbreaking engineering.
### Pros & Cons of the iPhone 17 Pro
#### Pros:
– **Shiny New Design:** The titanium finish is undeniably sleek, so you can flaunt your phone at Starbucks without saying a word.
– **Improved Durability:** Finally, a phone that can survive a 3-foot drop without shattering into a million pieces.
– **Thinner Bezels:** More screen real estate for your TikTok addiction.
#### Cons:
– **Price Tag:** Starting at a kidney and possibly a lung. Hope you weren’t planning on eating this month.
– **Marginal Upgrades:** Let’s be honest, it’s hard to get excited about rounded edges.
– **Still No USB-C:** Apple seems to believe that lightning connectors are the hill they’ll die on, even though the EU is forcing them to change.
### Is It Worth the Upgrade?
If you’re currently using an iPhone 16 Pro, the answer is a resounding “meh.” Sure, you’ll get some minor design tweaks and a shiny new material, but are these upgrades worth hundreds (or thousands) of dollars? Probably not. But hey, if you’ve got cash to burn, who am I to judge?
For those still clutching their iPhone 12s or earlier models, the iPhone 17 Pro might feel like a significant leap forward. But don’t expect it to change your life—unless you’re the type to measure happiness by the shininess of your gadgets.
