Without the tele this is the 16 pro, except its got a better selfie camera, so well worth it as it’s got the same 48 MP Quad bayer Ultrawide, whereas last year it was only the straight 12MP. Version, So for Ultrawide and normal wide panoramas you are...

I don't think so. The iPhone 17 has an aluminum body and scratches are appearing on a lot of new units. This could be a big problem and for me it's a step back from Apple. The gold iPhone 16 in this case.
