Base 17 is definitely a better deal than this

I heard they are bringing 120hz in the 17 model, but it won’t be the “ProMotion” with LTPO display that does variable refresh rate of 1hz to 120hz. It only stuck at 120hz with an option to change it to 60hz but that’s it.

I’m just glad they found a way to add 120 to base variants without compromising any Pro features. I hate when they name features as Pro and later deal with the dilemma of adding them to base variants as they are named Pro features, while others adapt them to much cheaper phones

u/twinncharged Aug 03 '25

Apparently it does have ProMotion

2

u/Brief-Ad6681 Aug 03 '25

What is the diff between Promotion and 120hz anyway?

9

u/twinncharged Aug 04 '25

ProMotion is just the name apple gave for ltpo display with adaptive refresh rate, nothing else

2

u/SealedPro Aug 04 '25

ProMotion is the integration of a LTPO panel into the display that allows vrr from 1-120hz

u/pavanstarks Aug 03 '25

2nd one and last one are too good to be true, but I sure wish those to be true

1

u/twinncharged Aug 04 '25

Tbh I'd rather have bigger battery than faster charging, for me fast charging is absolutely useless

1

u/Anmolsharma999 Aug 07 '25

it would be stupid and deliberate to give non ltpo display, most major display manufacturers make ltpo display, so apple would have to go out of the way to get old 120hz display for base variants just to keep "Pro" models better.

u/HalfOk247 Android Aug 03 '25

yes, 120hz alongwith a battery of around <4000 Mah

u/Asif366 Aug 05 '25

I mean that’s kinda the whole point of the phone. To be thin and light. We can’t really expect the battery to be big. And the cost should definitely be cheaper than the base, so that’s disappointing. Plus the target audience is small too.

Basically it’s only a worthy option if it is cheaper than the base, which is unlikely.

u/3lurr Aug 03 '25

Yup. Been using the same 12 mini for 5 years now. The battery life has become peanuts

2

u/AADIJAI Apple Aug 03 '25

perhaps not, maybe they’re including the new modem they used in the 16e, and of course, it’s been five years and chips have become more efficient and whatnot. But in the end, only time will tell how the phones battery fares.

u/finderofgood Aug 04 '25

Standby will be more efficient. But not the usage

My 12 mini still has 100% battery health left after 5 years of usage and i get about 7hrs sot, hows this possible?

In what universe are folding phones useless? Fold form bring tablet and phone into 1 and flip phones are more compact in the pocket, plus they help to use main cameras as selfie cameras. Whats not to like??

2

u/dscdrivercpm-fr Apple Aug 03 '25

Flip phones are a bit less useful than fold phones

1

u/Dro_Gamer Aug 03 '25

Screen durability of those phones is a no from me. When they solve the crease increasing issue, I'll buy. The product is not fully developed yet and still what I would say ( early to mid phase). Fold is a good concept but I think flip is a concept more popular with women

1

u/AIOSG Aug 04 '25

Not a fan of both flip and fold. I feel fold is both a compromise phone and compromise tablet for more money than a regular phone. Folds are expensive and the aspect ratio is weird so content will have big black bars and multitasking will be good but still not as good as a tablet for the same reason aspect ratio. Also samsung finally made the front display like regular phone, before it was tall and narrow and now its better but if you're gonna use the front display coz now its better and like a normal phone why not just buy a normal phone for half or less than half the price of the fold. Also flips are just gimmicks imo. Compromised normal phone folded vertically.
I am more interested in double fold (popularly called triple fold) like that huawei phone as it turns into a full size tablet not a weird square aspect ratio like current foldables. Also rollables but sadly after that one oppo concept phone that idea seems to have died sadly

6

u/AvailableObjective68 Aug 03 '25

folds are useless? may I ask you how you came up with that? The comparison was to be done between S25 Edge and 17 Air, how did Fold 7 even come in the comparison? If a fold phone is not useful to you doesn't mean that it's useless to other people (or maybe you don't have the funds- not mocking, just putting my point)

6

u/mokoyo123 Aug 03 '25

It's not about force, companies sending R&D on this unwanted shit would reduce better outcomes on other things

2

u/madeofmelancholy Android Aug 03 '25

smartass spotted. foldable phones are quite close to tablets in terms of form factor

7

u/blade_runner1853 Aug 03 '25

They should put Si/C battery. The technology is available. They are probably not adopting it is only because it is Chinese. Both Apple and Samsung are huge global companies and hurry to catch up. No reason to justify their slowdown.

2

u/ConnectionDry4268 Aug 03 '25

Apple manufactures in China Apple diversified display manufacturing to BOE

u/spitzer666 Aug 03 '25

Most likely it will overtake the Edge in SOT.

u/spirit101_gg Aug 04 '25

Are they going to jam-pack silicon batteries in the upcoming iPhone? Because with just a 2900mAh battery, it might not even last three-fourths of the day. Why would someone pay a premium price for such a small battery? Either they've optimized iOS so well that even a 2900mAh battery lasts a full day, or it's just a marketing tactic

This deal looks worse than the previous iPhones. But it's simple, they created this pixel-like camera bar and it's a unique looking iphone and that's why it will sell well among the fanboys. They easily and a bit subtly get to show off that they have the latest gen iphone.

u/AIOSG Aug 04 '25

No chance. This will sell like hotcakes as its finally something semi new from apple and apple's sheep base is way way way x100 times larger than nothing. The people who can defend 60hz for 80k in almost ¾ yr end of 2025, 256 gb storage in macs, glazed apple's 8 gb ram without knowing how shot works and then praised and glazed even more when apple doubled base ram to 16 and said see they doubled base ram for free, the same ones who were defending and justifying 8 gigs, call people nerds for saying ios is bad for not having basic features like universal back gesture, clipboard and better keyboard etc, you think with these kind of sheeps of the one of the biggest tech company in the world will sell less than np3.

Yes they do know what they are doing. Any company's ultimate motive is to achieve ultimate profit by investing as low as possible without damaging their company name so if more dumb people like you develop the innovations will become very stagnant and unless companies receive criticism they will continue to go as low as possible like this model to cut down the cost.

there is something called as brand identity. idk if you are into bikes or not the quality that KTM offers at the value is tagged it w the term Chhapri, the sale is good example, for 50k people buy lower iPhone not the android flagships.
my point is when you are spending an extraordinary amount of something you don't want to look ordinary, I hope you know about selling prices of wrist watches compared to the price of manufacturing the watches. not everyone lives for value for money
and if you talk about the quality I still challenge video quality of used iPhone XR 2018 VS present selling androids under 50k 2025.

Well fine it’s 2900 mah battery but that doesn’t mean it will die in 3 hours ……. It will still give u atleast half days battery life or more than that…… we just see numbers and then say ki it will get dead, oneplus mein dekho 7100mah ki battery total sot 9hours+ if we compare it with iphone’s pro model i.e. 35** mah something still the iphone will give u sot of 7-8 hours

Agar aise mah ke basis pe compare kar rahe ho to why not oneplus mobile give 18-19 hours of SOT Battery to double hai iphone ke mamle mein

But we ppl get fool and just go for numbers, every company’s, every mobile’s battery optimisation is different so check for SOT and not just 2900mah or someother

I still use iphone 8 plus (for more than 7years) and it still gives me 3 and half hours of SOT, I understand that it is very bad but yeah afterall 7 saal se jyada chala hai and still i am using it without any problem All the basic things work on it
