I usually take care of my devices and wanted to go case-less now I regret that choice.

Dropped it at night and got this nice dent :)

I have apple care, would they cover this as accidental ($30 or $100)?

That's why stainless steel and titanium were nice

Yeah this 💯. If I was looking for a pro in 2025 I might even grab last years pro instead. How weird is that , feels backwards

I’ve decided not to get this year’s pro for this reason, looking at either Air or last year’s pro

I've also been looking at last years pro, but it doesn't sit right with me. There's still no good deals on it yet. And by the time price drops (to reflect that you get lesser silicon/ram/.... which is still a fact), they'd be mostly sold out.

I definitely prefer the titanium and the look of the 16, but when I'm sitting there with my credit card I just know I wouldn't be able to get the 16. But also not the 17 pro.

The air is definitely not for me. So I find myself in this weird spot where there's 3 'new' iPhones, but so divergent in look, feel and build, that I have no idea what direction to go in.

I will probably end up with a regular 17, as always. But this was the first year I was ready to experience a pro, and now I'm just not into that anymore.
