The lack of a black iPhone 17 Pro... has me dumbfounded. I might skip this year.

I'm really happy with the camera features, but there's less differentiation between base iPhone 17 and 17 Pro this go-round. Probably enough for me to still get the Pro, but the iPhone 17 is looking like a pretty cool option this year.

I had to pull my case off to see what color iPhone I had... I'll never buy a white iPhone ever again but anything silver or dark is good with me.

Why is that? White is the best color because it absorbs the least heat when exposed in the sun.

I think that for each variation of treatments and finishes they do, the white models tend to look dated the quickest. But I'm a case guy, and I like black carbon cases, so the contrast between white phones and carbon cases is too stark.
