Hi guys, i still own the Iphone 11 but i think its time to upgrade.
Ive been thinking about 3 options:
Iphone 17
Iphone 16 Pro
Iphone 16

I need some advice because i can nit decide which phone to buy. Please help me.

I live in Austria and I also want to know if it may be okay if i buy a refurbished one.

Thanks for the help

16 pro is the best of the 3

#

It will only have one less year of software update support compared to the 17

I would go for the iPhone 17, it is the best value base model yet, for these reasons:

120Hz variable refresh rate
Ceramic 2 shield technology
Dynamic Island
Apple Intelligence support
A19 chip
48MP main camera
Center Stage front camera (shifting the camera to focus on you during video calls); a larger square front camera sensor also allows you to take landscape selfies in a portrait orientation
25W magsafe charging
action button, camera control

the iPhone 16 Pro (I wouldn't recommend the 16 if the other two are viable for you) has about 5 items from that list. It is still an amazing phone and you will still be satisfied with it.
That said, the iPhone 17 and iPhone 16 Pro are comparable, so pick between those two.
