If you\u2019ve been holding off on getting a new iPhone, now\u2019s the perfect time to size up your options. Apple recently launched its 2025 iPhone lineup, which includes the iPhone 17, 17 Pro, 17 Pro Max, and a brand-new model, the ultra-thin iPhone Air. These new phones offer a number of new features over their predecessors, such as upgraded cameras, faster chips, better battery life, and even better screens \u2014 Apple Intelligence, however, is still a work in progress<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Alongside the new hardware, Apple also launched iOS 26<\/a> (yes, the numbering system has changed and we\u2019re jumping from iOS 18), which includes a new Liquid Glass user interface<\/a>, live translation, wallpapers in messages, and more. The software marks Apple\u2019s biggest visual redesign since iOS 7<\/a>, and despite some very polarizing reactions, we think it looks fine<\/a>.<\/p>\n

If your current iPhone is humming along, there\u2019s no need to rush out and get a new one. But if you\u2019re questioning whether it\u2019s the year to replace your iPhone that\u2019s a few generations old, then I think the answer is an easy yes. There are real gains to be had this time around, especially in the basic iPhone 17, which features a higher-refresh-rate display than last year\u2019s model for smoother-looking animations, plus double the base storage to 256GB \u2014 all without raising the price, despite the current tariff situation<\/a>.<\/p>\n
