 Final Verdict
The Apple iPhone 17 for it’s price of KES 128,000 has a nearly similar display like this year’s pro. It finally has the always on display and you know how useful of a feature it is. A high refresh rate gives this phone a smooth feel. You get good battery life to last you an entire day and the cameras are really solid. Despite the fact that the design is not so changed like it’s predecessor, that green green has a nice look on it.
Unfortunately, every good thing has it’s bad side. Zoom capabilities are not as strong compared to the Pro and it gets hot during intense gaming sessions. Apple intelligence hasn’t really taken shape quite well.
Overall, the iPhone 17 is the sweet spot between some exclusive pro features at a slightly reduced price point with twice as much storage, slightly better cameras and an immensely great display.
