If you have an iPhone that you’re happy with, keep it. We don’t think you should upgrade just because Apple has released new phones.But if your current phone is running too slowly or is damaged, or if you’re simply ready for an upgrade and you want a new phone now, we recommend the Apple iPhone 17. It offers an almost Pro-like iPhone experience, with a bigger display and a higher refresh rate, excellent cameras, lengthy battery life, and a powerful processor.We plan to test Apple’s latest models, the iPhone 18 Pro and Pro Max. But it’s worth noting that Apple increased the starting price of its entire iPhone lineup. This comes only a few months after the company also raised the cost of its iPads and Macs — all of which is due to the ongoing RAM shortage. We stand by our top pick, but stay tuned for additional thoughts in the coming weeks.
