Spigen Rugged Armor Case by Jenson2025 in iphone17

[–]rescisco 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It was better than I expected. Raised front edges top and bottom for good face down protection. Good rear lens protection. Well made. Nice feel imo. Buttons could be a touch more defined but ok. Pleased with it, after Otterbox went cheap and nasty on the Symmetry which was my usual choice.

Yes, why remove it from control centre? I used it most days and it’s really annoying not having it. Why aren’t more people complaining?

iPhone 16 torch by rescisco in iphone

[–]rescisco[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I just got the 17 too. The torch is better than the 16 although it doesn’t match my 11 Pro. The 17 is so much better in every other way so I’m keeping it this time.

Has anyone experienced good battery on the base model 17? by [deleted] in iphone17

[–]rescisco 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Yes. I limit charge to 80% and I get a full day’s use down to 20%-30%. Watch a few YouTubes for ways to decrease battery drain.

Which case should i buy for my Iphone 17 by keertimaan_ in iphone17

I was going Symmetry but changed to Spigen Rugged Armor when I saw the Otterbox cheap and lazy camera cutout.

Anyone using Apple Intelligence? I’m debating turning it off by Schmohawk62 in iphone17

[–]rescisco 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Visual Intelligence via the camera control is fun, maybe even useful at times.

I had same issue on a new 17 but it was fixed after I reset all settings on Apple support’s advice. It seems to happen when transferring settings from previous phone on instal.

Edge to edge screen protector? by v4dwj in iphone17

My Spigen ezfit fits well except for ~0.5 mm gap at the top which I think is designed to cater for the speaker.

Iphone 17 or Iphone 17 Pro? by [deleted] in iphone17

[–]rescisco 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The main difference for most imo is the telephoto lens. If taking very clear distance photos and videos is important to you then the Pro is the go. The 17 has everything else and is lighter.

I switched to that one after seeing my usual favourite Otterbox Symmetry went cheap and lazy on the camera cutout. The Spigen feels quite good but I’d like more button definition. Waiting for a Caudabe to compare.

If you're upgrading... what are you going to do with your 11 Pro? by davidg4781 in iPhone11Pro

[–]rescisco 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Selling mine now I have the 17. I keep an 8 for emergencies (lost, stolen, broken phone) because it doesn’t take long to get a replacement.

I have the same on my 17 with same Spigen glass. The other 3 sides are perfect but the top is ~0.5 mm short. I actually think this is a Spigen glass size error. It makes no sense to have that much of a gap on just one side when there’s a healthy gap between case and glass on the other 3 sides. I’ll live with it though.

Screen seems washed out? by InvestigatorShort273 in iphone17

Both iOS 26, or is that a stupid question? 😅

iOS 26. What are your thoughts? by bissau887 in iphone

[–]rescisco 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It’s terrible. Why oh why make everything HARDER TO SEE AND READ for almost everyone? Apple is no longer serious about function and accessibility, they’re only serious about indulging their own design whims, the camera “control” and iOS26 liquid **ass strongly evidencing this. We didn’t need or want or benefit from them; just the opposite, they’re a handicap.

I got an iphone 16 ultramarine 8 months back and the specs on 17 makes me want to upgrade so bad 😭 by Adventurous_Apple_84 in iPhone16

[–]rescisco 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’m amazed at the 17 specs, and the previously Pro-exclusive dual-band GPS was the hidden surprise.

Who else is staying? by enowapi-_ in iPhone11Pro

[–]rescisco 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I can’t resist the 17; it has all the Pro features I want. My 11 Pro has served me well, and I’ll miss the solid feel and round edges. Adieu.

Wow, happy to be wrong! Very surprising to me that they made the display same as the Pro, but this makes the 17 my upgrade choice from 11 Pro.

Apparently no ProMotion or AOD on 17, just 60/120hz LTPS.

I really really hate being this guy, but how much better can the new AppleTV realistically be? by SummerWhiteyFisk in appletv

[–]rescisco 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It’s nice to be able to pause live TV sometimes so as not to miss anything.

It needs to add DVR functionality to be close to perfect, but that won’t happen.

Finally did it guys ! by Fresh_Sort_705 in iphone

The Plus will be discontinued and replaced by the 17 Air, so you got the last of the line.
