iPhone 13 Pro vs iPhone 17: is the upgrade worth it?

Is it finally time to retire the legendary iPhone 13 Pro? Today I’m doing a comprehensive side-by-side comparison between my trusty (and repaired!) Graphite iPhone 13 Pro and the brand new Lavender iPhone 17. We are looking at a 4-year gap in technology. Can the base model iPhone 17 finally replace an old Pro? I break down the 120Hz ProMotion display, the massive jump in performance with the A19 chip, and whether the new 48MP Fusion camera can truly replace the 13 Pro's dedicated 3x telephoto lens. I also get real about the battery life struggles on the 13 Pro (and my experience with a non-genuine DIY battery replacement) vs the efficiency of the iPhone 17. Plus, we talk about iOS 26's new "Liquid Glass" UI, Apple Intelligence limitations, and if upgrading is actually worth your money in 2025.
