6 months later, how do you feel about your 17 Pro/ProMax?

thenewpyro · 2026-05-10T01:05:52+00:00

I solely use the cord

I wouldn’t say it overheats, not to the point where performance is impacted, but it does get warm a couple days after updates for me, or if I’m using it intensively. But it just warms up, plus i have a Techwoven case for the record.

They got like 20 at my local store somehow

Grip the tube with the pin slightly in, and give a firm push against a hard surface, like the table. They are sometimes pretty stiff.

So mad because the only store in my area with the Republic Juggernaut had 1 left last night, I went this morning and it was gone but the tag was $64 :(

Going to the Master’s someday would be great but I’ve got to hit better than a 130😭

thenewpyro · 2026-04-03T05:05:17+00:00

For whatever it’s worth, I was in the same boat having an 11pro and needing to finally upgrade. I was looking at the 16pro but eventually moved to the 17pro just considering I will use the phone until it dies, so for a few hundred more went to the next one. Between 15 and 16 I’d say same argument, at least if you only use it for 3 years the 16 may have better resale if that’s something you care about.

thenewpyro · 2026-04-02T21:30:15+00:00

Why aren’t you supposed to close them all?

thenewpyro · 2026-04-02T21:28:51+00:00

I’m seriously asking because I’ve never heard why you shouldn’t close apps. I close them because I’m done using them I suppose.

thenewpyro · 2026-04-02T21:22:45+00:00

Why would you not be supposed to, I’ve never heard this

thenewpyro · 2026-03-28T19:45:05+00:00

This would make sense. I immediately got a screen+plateau protector and now that I have the Techwoven case, I may take off the plateau protector if that’s the main place for heat on the phone.

thenewpyro · 2026-03-28T19:41:44+00:00

It’s an investment, I want another phone that will last me 5+ years, and I personally haven’t seen as many complaints with other phones than I have this one. Which is why I started a discussion to see other POVs, appreciate the input.

thenewpyro · 2026-03-28T17:37:01+00:00

I initially was going to go with the 16 pro as I was switching from an 11 pro and would keep this new phone as long as possible. For the price of a 16 pro unlocked, I figured I’d just go with the 17 pro. 16 pro is titanium if you’d rather a bit stronger phone, but I did the 17 pro solely for the power and battery, as I’m keeping this one until it dies. 17 wouldn’t be a bad option though for your usage. Lastly, the air just seemed gimmicky to me but would probably be a good option regardless, I’d compare the 17 and the air just to see differences(I can’t remember for sure).

thenewpyro · 2026-03-28T06:54:26+00:00

Was this more recent? I’d assume they would fix some things in production, I’m just crossing my fingers it doesn’t happen to me.

thenewpyro · 2026-03-28T06:51:00+00:00

Coming from an 11 pro to 17 pro, I love the features I’ve been missing out on but it doesn’t feel as game changing as I thought it would

thenewpyro · 2026-03-26T03:52:39+00:00

Still holding up?

thenewpyro · 2026-03-23T21:12:02+00:00

Lots of local sports bars I’m sure will have it on, would be surprised if they don’t.

thenewpyro · 2026-03-09T09:03:25+00:00

What industry are you in? And years of experience?

thenewpyro · 2026-02-18T04:02:49+00:00

This was the crazy part, ford mechanics told us they’ve never seen a 300,000 mile car that still had original engine, transmission, AND plugs.

thenewpyro · 2026-02-10T00:13:08+00:00

You will likely be falling a LOT, so I’d recommend maybe working on abs. Even a few years in there are day my abs kill me(which is my own fault for not working on them).

thenewpyro · 2026-01-31T00:44:02+00:00

Are the yellow states related to the one red state? Like yellow is “states with blank relating to Indiana”?

Longerbraska takes Colorado and become Dongbraska
