We've got a new iPhone in town, but the age-old question remains: do I get the new iPhone, or is last year's model just as good? With the Apple iPhone 18 Pro now released, the Apple iPhone 17 Pro stock is running low as Apple has discontinued the model. However, if you act fast, you might find one that will feel just like the new iPhone, but at a lower price. After all, the upgrades this year are quite modest.
The previous iPhone generation introduced the new design language that will serve as a foundation for upcoming generations, so it's no surprise that there are almost no changes to the appearance of the two phones. Even the dimensions are identical to the point where you can put a case from the old model on the new one. However, if you are not paying attention, it's easy to miss the new Dynamic Island, which is narrower than before and thus takes away less screen real estate.
The newer iPhone Pro comes with the same exact 6.3-inch LTPO OLED display as its predecessor. Our tests confirm it, and the supported features confirm it. In either case, you are getting a bright, feature-packed display with anti-reflective properties.
The iPhone 18 Pro offers negligible battery capacity increase over its predecessor, so we weren't expecting any endurance gains to begin with, but we were pleasantly surprised. The new Pro achieved better results in all of our screen-on tests and scored a higher Active Use Score as a result. Apple advertised marginal charging speed improvements, and the results from our tests corroborate the company's claims.
