To be fair, you're asking in a niche forum full of tech enthusiasts. Of course most here will want the best of the best with the highest end specs.

But if you look at past trends of base iphone sales globally, the base iPhones are usually selling just as well sometimes even better than the Pros.

HWZ forum isn't a good indication/representative of the model's popularity when normies don't come here at all.

The iPhone 17 Pro size is growing on me. The 1 hand usage is superb. Only when want to watch shows or do some reading, you will appreciate the iPhone 17 Pro Max screen estate.

Screen size and battery life. Especially if you’ve got large hands… Need to make use of them.
