My personal preference based just on aesthetics is that I think the new Pros look pretty good while the Air looks pretty ugly. What do you think?

@Techaltar I don't care which version of the iPhone 17 is prettier, lol.
@Techaltar to be honest normal 17 looks the best, Air also isn't bad, but Pro looks horrible
@Techaltar I think they get worse from left to right. The 16e looks minimalistic, and then it gets increasingly playful/fussy.
@Techaltar I think they’re all look amazing to be honest. It’s the strongest lineup yet.
@Techaltar
I like the coppery colour of the pro especially
@Techaltar
There is a growing movement of tech minimalism that I adhere to and apple are aware of. Of course my taste in tech minimalism is something that does not look like an Apple product. If the iPhone air of next generation does not look like an apple product I would buy it. I am fed up of multiple cameras on the phone.
On the other hand apple knows the aestetic appeal of their iwatch pro and they made a bigger iwatch pro as a phone.
@Techaltar My first impression is the reverse: the Air is the shiny elegant jewelry, while the Pro feels like a rugged utilitarian device (even more so with that flight-recorder-box color).
@Techaltar idk, for me they look weird. iPhone 16/17 with their camera bump are reminiscent of iPhone X, but these lenses are so big, it weirds me out, while 17 Pro looks like a badly made DIY phone that has that one panel hanging on glue, prayers and some swearing.
iPhone 17 Air looks nice to me.
@Techaltar good enough, welcome back, Realme P4 Ultra 5g, Poco X4 Pro 5g, Poco X5 5g, Poco X5 Pro 5g
Poco X5 Pro 5g with a wide camera module like of 17 Pro's

@Techaltar I have a 12 mini now, was looking for replacing it since the battery drains within hours. It won’t be an iPhone though, any iPhone looks butt ugly since all that nauseating butt licking Tim Apple did recently.
@Techaltar Air is what happens when 16e goes to a cheap third world country plastic surgeon.
17 Pros TBH are the best looking iPhones ever even considering that I really don't like that orange color.
@Techaltar They are all ugly except from the 16e. It reminds me of the last pretty phone Apple made; the iPhone 8.
I've never seen phone pull off more than a single camera on the back.
@Techaltar
I think they all are expensive rectangular flat blocks with one or more bumps on it.
They would eliminate the bumps if technically possible.

@Techaltar as an android evangelist, switching sides is actually somewhat tempting. Not AU$2000 tempting, but tempting. Orange Pro looks great. Air looks like it'll break by pushing on the camera bump.
@Techaltar Disappointed they didn't release another "Mini" phone or try something like the Samsung Flip Z phone.
Otherwise, all the range looks just as boring and tired as many many other phones in the industry.
When will be get back to people trying the wildest shit?!

A split screen showing two different models; a Nokia with the keyboard in a weird curve pattern and the Nokia N-Gage which is build like a gaming controller.
A Motorola V70. The screen is a circle and the cover rotates around it so that the earpiece is raised when making a call or texting.
Nokia 8210 - pretty basic but a very solid phone and very small. Its the perfect size phone and can easily fit the whole phone in half your hand.
A Nokia 7600. Its like, a square, almost, with two rounded corners. And wild buttons across each side of the phone.
@Techaltar I like the pro orange colour, not the design. That camera... It's so ugly 😅
@Techaltar I need to see the Pros in person, but on video I am hooked on the orange one. Though all colours look pretty nice. Not a classic iPhone aesthetic to ne, but I dig it.
I don't really like the Air. Don't know who it is for, seems like a huge compromise. Also very worried if they managed to keep the phone balanced.
With ProMotion coming to the regular 17 that would probably be my choice. Inoffensive classic look. But I really wish they had a cool colour like that orange.
@Techaltar I personally really like the Air form factor and style. I might be missing the ultrawide lens and concerned about the single amplified earpiece speaker.
