iPhone 17 Pro
The best all-round iPhone we have tested: an aluminum body that runs cooler under load, a telephoto that is finally as sharp as the main camera, and battery life that comfortably lasts two days of light use.

Our take
The best all-round iPhone we have tested: an aluminum body that runs cooler under load, a telephoto that is finally as sharp as the main camera, and battery life that comfortably lasts two days of light use.
For phones we look past launch-week impressions: battery health after a year of daily charging, how the camera handles indoor and low-light shots, and whether the software keeps the phone feeling quick.
Pros
- Excellent sustained performance
- Three high-resolution rear cameras
- Big step up in battery life
Cons
- Heavier than the iPhone Air
- Bold colors are not for everyone

Opinion
iPhone 15 Pro after two years
Titanium scratches, battery health at 84% and a phone that still feels fast. Should owners upgrade?
