I'll be replacing my first gen ones with them. Ultimately, for me simple integration and other features like live translation (and I am a smartwatch wearer but still curious about the heart rate monitor) that constitute convenience and comfort coupled with "good enough" sound quality is fine. And unless your musical content is high fidelity the benefits of audiophile equipment are probably largely negated. And Apple's vertical integration means that they can push out firmware and other updates to improve performance and functionality over time. For example, it looks like the 2nd gen AirPods Pro support the live translation thing.

@RobeOfTheMagi running here on my wife's M1 macbook with no issues whatsoever.

Cheers mate! I just added "wipr 2" and "dark reader" to my Safari extensions. I don't know how I've managed without these add ons!

The iPhone 17 pro is growing on me.
While I’d still prefer a smaller phone it isn’t too bad in the hand. And I really like the cameras. I’ve been on the fence about getting a new camera for the past year, and I know that a phone won’t give me the same possibilities or the same quality. But the best camera is the one you have with you, and the phone does have a huge advantage on that parameter.
Has anyone bought it? And does it deliver and - does it hold up to daily use?

Thanks. That’s how I think it’ll be for me as well.
I have a regular iPhone for work (14 or 14 I think) and that feels very clumsy compared to my 12 mini. But I recently handled til 17 pro, and that feels a lot more compact and better balanced, so my guess is that the adjustment would be easy.
And if it holds up to construction it should be solid enough for me as well. I work in an office, but my phones get banged up a bit when I work in the house, play with the kids etc.

Thanks a lot. I’ll look in it in January.
Normally I avoid buying “discounted” phones where I have to sign up for a certain service provider, but I got a massive discount on a computer for my daughter by doing it this summer, so I might as well get another discount by switching back to my old service provider.

Update for iPhone is fucking shit. Going to need another. I wouldn’t update till they straighten this out

Glad my new place of employment has the decency to send me a decent specced machine.

I had the battery of my tried and true iPhone 13 mini replaced yesterday. After 4 years of use, it did not hold up for even half a day.
Customer service broke the screen while replacing it
So i got a new one. Basically a complete makeover of the phone, good to go until Apple decides to make decent size phones again. -
As planned I swapped my 12 mini for the new pro. I’m happy. I’d prefer the size of the mini, but the pro has a nice feel, wonderfull screen and the camera (the reason i bough it) is amazing. The controls are a bit fidegety, not the photos I can get with it are brilliant.
