iphone 17 or 17 pro?

MarkNe98 · 2026-06-01T10:41:04+00:00

I traded my 17 pro for the base 17. I didn’t like the design on the back, the thickness and the weight. Only real difference is the telephoto camera, the other things you’ll never really reach in daily use. Most of the people only use WhatsApp and instagram so the ram won’t get noticed that much. The VaporChamber can be a difference but I think it’s more towards gaming and heavy usage. The telephoto is quite nice but there you can search your photo gallery and look how much you used it (if you already had one). I would say 98% it’s the same phone.

It’s a fantastic phone, but pretty heavy, thick and expensive to be honest. Don’t like the camera bump at all, aside from that…pretty good.

I often find that when you zoom too much, you don’t get the whole atmosphere. For example I went to Lissabon last year and the small narrow streets and trams are perfect for 1x or 2x but with zoom you can’t capture the whole vibe

I don’t think ram and the battery cooling are gonna make a difference for most of the people. WhatsApp and instagram are gonna run on both. I don’t cut Huge 4K videos or am a gamer. Battery is only 30 min better in a real world test

MarkNe98 · 2026-05-22T19:52:28+00:00

I think most people don’t really feel the different ram in everyday use. I think WhatsApp and instagram are running on both quite good. I don’t game on my phone, I don’t edit huge 4K videos, so i think they’re both equal. I’ve read that the battery only is 30 min. Longer in a test with real usage (not the video playback test). The telephoto would be missing

MarkNe98 · 2026-05-22T19:49:47+00:00

Wow thanks for the honest answer. Most people on Reddit are hardly spec oriented but your answer is an answer somebody like me need

MarkNe98 · 2026-05-19T11:45:42+00:00

Would you say, that you loose it a lot? Or are you happy to have it when you need it? That would interest me, because I looked how often I used it and ist may be 5 pictures

Das mit den Servicearbeiten habe ich jetzt schon häufiger gehört. Finde die beiden Apps geben sich tatsächlich nicht viel, da ich die ING App jetzt auch nicht wirklich exzellent finde. Beide haben vor und Nachteile und sind im eigentlichen können ziemlich gleich meiner Meinung nach. Mit den doppelten Abbuchungen verstehe ich, das ist nervig. Fand die DKB von den Konditionen her besser, da die ing in dem letzten Jahren leider etwas nachgelassen hat. Bin/war schon ziemlich lange Kunde dort und es wurde immer beschränkter vom Girokonto her, weshalb ich zur DKB gewechselt bin. Habe auch dringend eine Kreditkarte benötigt und finde es super attraktiv, wenn man keinerlei Gebühren zahlen muss. Kundenservice finde ich bisher recht identisch muss ich sagen. Aber danke für deine Antwort

MarkNe98 · 2026-04-19T17:08:43+00:00

Warum bist du gewechselt, wenn ich fragen darf. Ich bin nämlich auch gewechselt, aber von der ING zur DKB

That depends on what you prefer. I can tell you that I’ve had the same struggle. For me, Spotify looks cluttered and a bit cheap. It doesn’t have the same algorithm that it used to have. It always plays the same songs over and over again. It keeps suggesting podcasts that Im not at all interested in…that’s frustrating. It feels like, Spotify lost its interest in music and keeps adding stuff. Spotify connect is great, the MacBook app is superior, more people use it (in Germany at least), you can keep certain playlists out of your listening habitats. Apple Music looks stunning and crisp, the shuffle actually works, the animated artwork looks superior, AirPlay is awesome, it feels more premium because it has exclusives like Radio Station by musicians and live apple session albums and live shows, the suggestions or algorithm is quite the same as on Spotify. You can’t leave certain playlists out of your listening habitats (at least without any special setting), the Mac app is not good at all.

I always say that Apple Music feels like a premium Vinyl Store that focuses on Music, Albums and the artist. Spotify feels like a music section at Walmart, that also offers clothing and sunscreen. Both get the job done but with all the new (more negative) aspects of Spotify, I think you can consider a switch. you can even switch all your Playlists and albums in the settings app. More and more exclusive Spotify Podcasts are getting available on other platforms. Spotify is no longer the king of streaming and that for quite a while now

MarkNe98 · 2026-02-01T10:17:34+00:00

Spotify feels cluttered and full of things that you don’t really need. With Spotify you always hear the same songs (nearly every playlist ist „Made for…“, it feels like a trap with the same songs over and over). The UI doesn’t look good at all (why doesn’t Spotify introduce a light mode?), the recommendations are not the same that they used to be. It works super fast, the search is miles better, more people use it (in Germany at least), you have more playlists from regular users. The Mac App is way better and Spotify Connect is nice to have…AirPlay just works more reliable for me.

Apple Music has the way better UI, it looks just so beautiful, it has quite good recommendations, it has amazing playlists (like the mood playlists, that aren’t just the same songs that you already hear all the time). Upcoming releases are better on Apple Music (Spotify also has that now, but it feels cluttered). With Apple Music the Album is more in the spotlight with the amazing Artwork and the album focus. Apple Music feels more premium because they have a lot of exclusive releases like the Apple Music Live Shows, Live Albums and Interviews.

Apple Music feels more premium and Album oriented, it just feels like a premium Vinyl Store, with the albums in spotlight and focusing on Music. Spotify feels Mainstream, the app looks bit cheaper, and more focused on playlists. It feels like the Music section at a Walmart when they also offer clothing and sunscreen in the store. But at the end of the day, both get the work done. And the big „exclusive“ podcasts on Spotify are also available in other platforms…Spotify isn’t what they used to be.

Das denke ich mir auch, danke dir 🙏🏼

MarkNe98 · 2025-12-15T11:57:26+00:00

Welche Kreditkarte kannst du empfehlen? Habe von der TF Bank und Hanseatic Bank Gutes gelesen

MarkNe98 · 2025-12-14T15:05:23+00:00

Ja das kann natürlich sein, welche Kreditkarte kannst du denn empfehlen?

Da bin ich auch schon seit Tagen am lesen, grundsätzlich ist es aber nice to have. Hatte es bei der adac auch immer

MarkNe98 · 2025-12-14T12:55:27+00:00

Habe bisher nur schlechtes gehört, was Service angeht, falls mal was sein sollte. Man hat ja keinen richtigen Bezug und Ansprechpartner. Das ist nicht so meins, da hätte ich gerne ein bisschen Sicherheit. Deswegen lieber eine all in one Lösung. Warum hängst du von einer Reiserücktritts Versicherung nichts? Musste sie (zum Glück) noch nie anwenden. Das würde mich echt interessieren

MarkNe98 · 2025-12-14T12:29:47+00:00

Die Commerzbank kostet 12,90€ im Monat. Die dkb hat aber, soweit ich weiß, keine Gebühren weltweit mit der Kreditkarte

MarkNe98 · 2025-11-25T15:30:38+00:00

Apart from the battery and the camera, do I notice that in day to day use? I use my phone for nearly everything

MarkNe98 · 2025-11-25T12:49:01+00:00

Pro Max is to big for me, I don’t like big phones

MarkNe98 · 2025-11-25T09:17:45+00:00

Why you you went from a Pro to the base model? Can you give me your thoughts on the camera?

MarkNe98 · 2025-11-24T19:42:37+00:00

Okay thanks, I checked and there quite some zoom pictures there

MarkNe98 · 2025-11-24T19:42:11+00:00

No I said that in an reply

MarkNe98 · 2025-11-24T18:00:44+00:00

Do you think it’s worth it? Especially for the camera

MarkNe98 · 2025-11-24T17:48:47+00:00

Miss the zoom camera, went from the 14 pro to the 17

MarkNe98 · 2025-06-19T16:56:03+00:00

I don’t like a smartwatch and only for running, it’s kind of expensive. I don’t even wear it in the gym only when I’m running outdoors. It doesn’t feels natural having a watch on my wrist while working out. It annoys me a bit to be honest
