You can read the headline of this article and think I’m an Apple hatred. But it is actually the opposite; I think the iPhone 17 is quite bold.
With the latest series, Apple finally introduced what we all screamed. 120Hz advertising screen in the main model. The 18MP central scene camera, which actually forces the group selfies to function properly. Double 48MP rear cameras that are distinguished by weak lighting. And for $ 799 / £ 799 with twice as much storage, of course, it is the best value iPhone ever made.
Despite all this, I think you would be completely mad now. Not because the iPhone 17 is bad (this is not the case), but because something much more revolutionary lies very close to.
Why wait meaningful
This is where I will sound like a friend who always tells you not to buy the current model because “the other will be better.” Except I think the other will not only be better; It will transformation;
The reason is that Apple works with a folding iPhone. And these are not typical rumors; The whisper of the industry is deaf and all the signs indicate a folding phone launched as part of the iPhone 18 series.
So, take it off: you edit photos on the spot, but instead of chewing on a 6.3 -inch screen, you drop your iPhone to reveal a tablet -sized screen. Suddenly, you can see the details of the histogram properly, make accurate color changes and actually assess whether that architectural shot is smooth. No need to “correct it in the post because I can’t see it properly on this small screen”.
Or imagine you looking at shooting with your client, but instead of mixing everyone around the phone screen, such as a cave around the fire, you drop the device and suddenly have the right delivery screen.
I am also worried about the idea of viewing untreated files on one screen and the other updating your shot list. To manage social media records while maintaining your editing program. Video calls with clients and your portfolio remains visible. I could continue, but you understand the essence. Productivity options are staggering.
Workflow Revolution
And here’s Kicker: I don’t believe Apple is half -folded. We are talking about a company that took a seven -year perfect face ID; The one that is obsessed with differences in the thickness of the millimeter device.
So that means that when Apple finally liberates the folding, it will not be some insidious proof of the concept; This will be folding, which will make everyone else look like prototypes.

Okay, I’m getting it. If your current iPhone is acting really slowly and a lot of breaks, you may have little choice as to update now. In this case, the iPhone 17 means everything you waited for at a reasonable price.
But if you can wait a little longer, you can avoid locking in a two -year (or more) cycle, as is the most significant iPhone innovation from the original start. This means that you will not have to look away from the sidelines as everyone else is experiencing the future of mobile photography.
Yes, the iPhone 17 will still be great a year. But the folding iPhone 18 – if the rumors are true – today will make you look like today as 2002. Nokia. So, my advice is to control this update and start saving what promises to be the most interesting iPhone in over a decade. Your future I am thanks to you.
