I used the iPhone 17 Pro almost every day for 8 months, and now that the iPhone 18 Pro is just around the corner, it’s time for my final long-term review.

In this video, I test how the iPhone 17 Pro has held up over time, including durability, Ceramic Shield 2 scratch resistance, battery health, charging speeds, camera quality, iOS performance, and whether it’s still worth buying before the next generation arrives.
