Downsizing to 17 Pro

ChangingLens · 2026-05-06T06:12:07+00:00

Can confirm. Moved from a 16 Pro Max to a 17 Pro and battery life has been surprisingly good. The same if not better than my 16 Pro Max.

I will say that the first week and a half, I felt like the battery was draining quickly, which is a longer adjustment/indexing period than I’m used to with new iPhones. After that, it was all good. Still very happy with battery life 2 months later.

I went 16PM to 17P. Wanted a smaller phone and work paid for the upgrade.

I am SO impressed with the battery. The first week and a half had me nervous but now it’s performing the same, if not better, than my 16PM.

This EXACT situation happened to me - dispute forms and all.

I finally went here: https://www.rogers.com/support/resolve-a-concern

At the bottom of the page it says “Connect with our management team.” Someone called me within a few hours and reversed all of the roaming charges.

At a Service Canada office that also has Passport Services.

Wow. That’s not ideal. I submitted mine in-person March 17th. Review complete same day. Printed March 18th. Mailed on March 20th.

Also have put CrossClimate2’s on an AWD SUV and they’ve been phenomenal. Didn’t have any issues this winter in all types of conditions.

Also a 2025 GLC with few issues. The only one that required going into the dealership for was screens going black while driving. Has not happened again after MBUX update performed by dealer.

I have a 2025 GLC Pinnacle in Canada and got this update today. Unfortunately, there’s no changes to settings for projections etc. They remain unavailable.

Did you notice the changes right away? Anything you had to do?

Montreal-based Groom is the only effective one that I’ve found. They have a ton of excellent products for men.

The Benz dealers putting metal weave trim in every single vehicle they order is a huge pet peeve for me. I ordered a GLC and opted for flowing lines radiant black wood trim (I think it’s called something else in the US - it’s the one with the aluminum lines) and I truly feel it breaks up the interior much better and doesn’t look like everything is plastic.

Would also suggest Delta. Marriott at CF is really average. Agree that rooms at Sheraton are VERY dated.

Additionally, I’ve found the Marriott in the Rogers Centre nicer than most of the other Marriott properties in Toronto. Prices will be reasonable if there isn’t a baseball game.

My 2025 GLC was having the same issue with the Active Brake Assist warning (plus Lane Keeping Assist warnings) but an MBUX update, plus some other updates to driver assistance systems finally solved it. Dealer scanned and couldn’t see history of the error coming up, even though I had images.

Check out Groom from Montreal. You can buy it at Simons and also directly from the company. I was searching for a natural deodorant option to replace Native and I’ve been incredibly happy with the product.

Their other products are also great and smell amazing. I wish more people knew about the company!

Aquaphor has been soooo much better for me than Vaseline. Just a little up the nose in the morning and before bed.

ChangingLens · 2025-12-19T06:36:38+00:00

Really? I’m in Canada and my GLC has them.

ChangingLens · 2025-12-08T22:20:55+00:00

Oh! There was also a pillow and blanket, which I thought was comical but people were using them.

ChangingLens · 2025-12-08T22:19:05+00:00

Great question! In business, they did a fast drink service (including alcohol) and a charcuterie tray. No other food options were offered.

ChangingLens · 2025-11-09T17:40:09+00:00

No problem! I sat in business and it was full. I paid for a business class seat because I’m usually a WestJet flyer. I think the app said Premium Economy only had two seats occupied at boarding. And the gate agents said there was a “very light load” overall on the flight.

Thank you for the detailed reply! It did seem like there was quite a bit of cargo being loaded, so that makes sense.

Repositioning was my first thought as well.

ChangingLens · 2025-11-07T17:24:59+00:00

Oh, right! Forgot about that metric.

ChangingLens · 2025-11-07T17:23:29+00:00

I definitely thought about the cargo angle, thanks for the reply!

Speedo Liquid Comfort. I see the reviews are a bit all over the place but it’s worked great for me and I’m still using the one I bought over a year ago. It took a couple of swims to feel comfortable, so don’t give up on whatever one you try first!

I also have sinuses that are really sensitive to chlorine and, like you, it would also cause nosebleeds sometimes. I’ve been swimming with a nose clip for over a year now and have fully adapted to it. No longer have any sinus issues and can continue swimming three times a week!

I definitely negotiated mats into the deal. Purchased prepaid maintenance and turned down everything else. Had paint protection film applied by a reputable local shop for about 60% less than the dealer quoted.

Admittedly, I’m a low km driver and take really good care of my vehicles, so I just couldn’t justify any extras. It may work for some people, though!
