Our take
The iPhone 17 gets you most of the Pro experience for $400 less than the iPhone 18 Pro, starting with 256GB of storage. Stuff.tv ranks it the best phone overall and calls it Apple's best all-rounder yet.
Apple didn't release a standard iPhone 18 this fall, so the iPhone 17 is still the current base model at its launch price. The standard iPhone 18 is expected in spring 2027.
