After a month and a half of daily driving my base model iPhone 17, I thought it was finally the right time to make my full review. This is everything I noticed- including things from when I immediately unboxed it, to what I've recently noticed after actually using it (and also how it's evolved through time) There are quite a few things that are still noticeably huge upgrades... but to be fair I was coming from an iPhone 11 lol But I genuinely think the iPhone 17 is the best phone in a long time, not just for Apple...
