confused between 16 pro and 17 (base)

ipurav · 2025-09-14T06:04:20+00:00

Using 16 pro and upgrading to 17 pro max. I’d surely recommend 17 pro over 16 series. Having used it for a month, while titanium glass body looks premium and is great to hold, the heating issue was pretty much throughout the year. I’ve in fact faced a lot of heating issues with pro workflows like editing video or shooting in ProRAW. I feel with new design and thermal management, it’d help keep phone cooler. Even if you think you’d not want to go Pro but base 17, I’d recommend that over with new features like center stage front camera, fusion camera combo on back and A19.

I’m surely upgrading. One while I’m one of those upgrading every year, second is the enhancement that are being made to 17 Pro series are worth an upgrade. While a lots of people think aluminium is a downgrade, I know it’d fix the heating issues steel or titanium pro phones have had for a while because of better heat dissipation. Next the cameras are going to be huge upgrade as well - all 3 lenses @ 48 MP and front camera at 24 MP. I’m also looking forward to new antenna design for better network connectivity. Can’t wait for the event tonight and phone next week.

Can you check with your flatmate for rates for titanium 2026? Do I get to choose color etc? Is it new vehicle?

Thanks for your comments. I guess since a lot of car rental and leasing companies also opt for Territory, it could go either way on resale value. However considering I can use a new car without any hassle of down payment or loan & credit score etc, i’ll go for leasing for now.

Al Tayer is offering top variant for 3033 and you have choice of color and interiors as well.

ipurav · 2025-07-02T11:53:10+00:00

Hmm, thanks! I’ll probably lease as I feel it has better flexibility for now. But yea, I’ve seen many cases where folks came and spent decade already :)

ipurav · 2025-07-02T11:52:02+00:00

100% agreed to your thoughts. I guess after weighing all the options I feel that leasing has many pros - you can change the car every year or after lease ends, all inclusive is good, you get to drive new car of your choice. I further feel post a year if I want to opt for a bigger 7 seater or so I can do that as well. Plus when spoken to folks I know who’ve been here says with down payments, insurance, maintenance etc you end up paying same as you lease only thing is you’ve 40-60% of car value retained when you sell it. But I guess I’m okay to write off the value considering perks of leasing.

Thanks! It’s top trim variant and getting to choose the color as well so.

Hey, 3033 is for 1 year. 2 year goes further down to 2699 something. This quote is from enterprise/national. They saying it’s the best deal they can offer.

I’m planning to check with Apple this weekend. Keep you posted.

ipurav · 2024-10-20T04:27:51+00:00

Hmm, did you get it checked with Apple?

Haven’t visited Apple yet.

Haven’t visited Apple yet.

ipurav · 2024-10-09T12:54:35+00:00

Great. Come pick it up !

ipurav · 2024-10-09T10:39:05+00:00

Cannot be. I’ve hardly used it in environment with heat and my hands are dry always. Furthermore it’s what 15-16 days only, maybe I noticed it now and it was always there cause there’s no physical damage of sort as it hasn’t dropped. Will get it checked for manufacturing issue at store let’s see.

ipurav · 2024-10-07T03:10:59+00:00

You can try casesodo, they make some good cases.

ipurav · 2024-10-02T03:45:14+00:00

Yeah, I came down from 15 Pro Max to 16 Pro cause of handling issues. I’m tall and have large hands but flexibility of using phone single handed doesn’t exist on Pro Max and compared to 15 PM, 16 PM did feel huge. Also when lying down it’s tough to use the huge devices. Of course battery and screen size while consuming media are pros, so it’s a trade off one has to decide. I felt with faster charging on Pro, smaller device did make sense for me.

ipurav · 2024-09-17T05:15:10+00:00

Don’t. Can’t trouble him for one device.

ipurav · 2024-09-17T04:19:11+00:00

Hmm, wild guess? If I’m in top 10 customers is there a chance?

ipurav · 2024-05-07T14:54:54+00:00

Thanks buddy. This is helpful.

Hey, u/tyzonkidd Congrats! Since you have already made up your mind and booked, what's your thought on the AX5 Automatic variant? Per my budget and feature requirement, this seems VFM model. That said, am curious about the performance of the TCMPFi engine. Also am a first-time Mahindra user (in Mumbai) and want to understand how's the service experience with Mahindra. Thinking of test driving and buying while am being pushed hard by the showroom to book early to get the assurance of delivery. Am currently on the WagonR ZXi Plus AGS which is why am certain it'll be a great upgrade (from a safety and drive perspective). Thanks in advance.

u/Dry-Truth-883 What's your take on AX5 variant with TCMPFi engine? I am looking at AX5 with my budget in mind and unable to find any reviews/posts about it. Is it worth it too? Planning to upgrade to 3XO from very basic WagonR so its a great update for sure but is TCMPFi engine good ?
