In this video, I compare and review everything you should know about the iPhone 17 and iPhone 16 Pro camera systems, including the main camera, ultra-wide lens, selfie camera, portrait mode, cinematic mode, and real-world video quality.
You’ll also see differences in LOG video recording, stabilization, RAW photography, and overall color science between the two phones.
The iPhone 17 now features a brighter 120 Hz display, new Center Stage front camera, and upgraded software like Dual Capture, while the iPhone 16 Pro still delivers unmatched results thanks to its 5× telephoto lens, Apple LOG video, and ProRes support for filmmakers.
If you shoot travel content, vlog videos, or cinematic projects, my video will help you decide which phone fits your workflow better, the iPhone 17 for front-camera creators, or the iPhone 16 Pro for serious photographers and filmmakers.

Guys make sure to like the video 🤝🤝
Almost all of your ip17 shots are a tad warmer. Why?
The price of the iphone is literally the price of a. USED CAR while you can buy a Xiaomi for 200 bucks and have literally the same or even better phone 😂😆 American wake up! I was a iphone head untill I left the USA and got a Xiaomi. You will be stunned. Oh and the 17 has the same Camera as the iphone 12 , just 50x zoom on the 17😂
Can you pls do flip 7 and s25 ultra
love your videos and beautiful locations that you show us. now i want to travel and take some beautiful photos when i get my new phone, im using Xs max with 76% battery life lol 😂 and still dont know to which iphone should i upgrade
Why not 16 pro vs 17 pro the battery in 17 pro is 3 times better and the camera as well as the Os26 are great
Should I upgrade from 14 pro to 16 pro or 17?
I am upgrading from andriod I love taking photos and playing games
What should I get 16 pro or 17
I love 3 camera setup btw it's kinda look good but 17 have new features am confused
Anyhow iPhones whether the 17 or 16 pro captures superb photos on with good lighting compared to photos ar night.
Why everyone keeps saying that the price of iphone 16 pro and 17 are now same, but in Australia, the price of a brand new iphone 16 pro is still more than iphone 17…
I went to the store fully convinced I’d get the iPhone 17 after watching a million reviews… and somehow walked out with the 16 Pro instead 😂 Still not sure if I made the right call, but the 16 Pro just felt right when I held it. The telephoto isn’t a daily thing, but hey — nice to have when you need it. (And the 256 GB versions cost pretty much the same here anyway.)
Last week, I went to a store to buy my first iPhone, the price was almost the same but my choice fell on the 17 base instead of the 16 pro just because it was new.
Soo good iPhone 17 model
I've never had an iPhone and I wanna buy this time and iPhone. And I still cannot decide which to buy: 17 or 16 pro. I think a camera is an important part for me, but I'm an amateur. So I would appreciate your advice 🥺
Excellent and very professional video! I am impressed.
By the way, your first name sounds English, but your surname sounds more Czech.
And your English is very good! Are your an English native speaker?
این همون چیزی بود که دنبالش بودم ممنونم!
Прошу вас если используете искуственный интелект для перевода на другой язык то используйте получше, качественней чем то что в видео. Это просто боль для ушей слышать дырявый перевод ии
give me some money so i can buy iphone
If on iphone 16 pro you use 3x 4x zoom not 5x does it use telephoto lens? and is it optical or digital zoom? Digital zoom only when you zoom >= 5x right?
i need heeelp; do you think it’s worth getting the 16 pro with only 128 gb?
What color is your iphone 16 pro?
why 17 front camera has mexico filter
I want to buy a new phone which one should i go for iphone 16 pro pr iphone 17?

The battery of Pro 17 Max doesnt last more than a day …The Apple watch 11 doeant last more than Only Two Days
Чей video zoom лучше?
sorry but on iphone 17, did you turn off the warm tone?
잘생겼네
can it be that phone making companies just switch from warmer pictures to colder pictures and back every year to make them look differently xD?
the 128 storage is the only bothering me lol
why the 17 look yelowish
i liked it, babe.
well, make me want to buy 17pro in the end😅
17 дешевле
Same device, one is uglier, get the cheaper.
Make a video on s25 ultra camera settings and features
how do you edit iphone 16 pro raw photos? which app
Дружище, подскажите пожалуйста вы где-нибудь выкладываете оригиналы файлов чтобы можно было покрутить на компьютере и сравнить? Спасибо большое, Удачи!
I've really been thinking about switching from the iPhone 16 Pro Max to the iPhone 17, mainly because the 17 and all the other models in the series have the option to turn off PWM (in accessibility settings) display & brightness. Unfortunately, the 17 lacks the ProRes feature in the video section, as well as 4K 120 FPS, and the Pro Raw function for photos. It's kind of crazy that Apple would leave out such great features.
Both are great choice.. to be realistic most of us “creators” are new to this so even classic iPhone 13 is enough for beautiful videos.. know the angels use the light right and edit colors and you have art. But sure if you want to buy an 1300€ phone just to be put to shame by the next year phones than sure why not ❤
