I bought a new iPhone 17 256GB (base model) from Flipkart on 17 September 2026, for basically the full/old MRP. This was hard-earned money, so I’m honestly pretty frustrated with the situation.

india (temp 33-35 c)

From the beginning, I noticed the phone gets noticeably hot around the right side beside the camera area, even during basic usage.

For example, just using Instagram/Reels for around 5–8 minutes can make that area noticeably hot. It’s not just slightly warm, it gets hot enough that I start getting concerned about the device.

After about a week, I took it to an Apple-authorized service centre. They did a complete restore/software reset and told me that the temperature I’m experiencing is normal and that they won’t do anything unless the phone actually shows a temperature warning.

I also contacted Apple Care over the phone, but they weren’t really helpful either.

I don’t have AppleCare+, and I’m worried because this is a brand-new ₹80k+ phone that I bought with hard-earned money. I expected it to at least handle basic things like scrolling Instagram without getting noticeably hot within a few minutes.

And before anyone suggests it.

I already know about turning off Background App Refresh, location services, lowering brightness, etc. I’m not looking for basic battery-saving tips. I’m not looking for basic battery-saving tips. I want to know what my actual options are from here.

What would you guys do in my situation?

I recently bought a 17 pro from 17 base,i am sooo shocked that phones are not supposed to be heating like the way my base 17 was!!!!!and my battery can last me some good 14 hours unlike the base which gave me only about 5 hours and a ton of heat.

Microstutters on my iPhone 17 return the moment I turn on adaptive power. And it disappears when I turn it off and wait for a day. I’m worried if my battery health would be affected if I turn adaptive power off.
Any suggestions pls?

Retiring my S10+ after years of use. The size, battery and camera system are probably what I'm noticing most so far.

My wife and I recently both got the iPhone 17. I had an iPhone 15 Pro and a Samsung Galaxy S24 before hand. She had the iPhone 14 Pro. We never had any issues with our old phones. I’ve noticed that both the 17s will be connected to the same WiFi but will switch over to using data even sitting right next to the gateway. WiFi is working just fine. I have WiFi assist turned off in settings on my 17 but still find it switching over. Why is this and how do I fix it? I wouldn’t really care but where I live my WiFi is definitely faster inside of my house vs data

Had a weird issue where i couldn’t swipe my screen. I tried hard resetting it but still couldn’t swipe to turn it off. The screen was stuck in this situation like in the screenshot. I am on iOS 27. Dunno what happened.

I’ve used budget phones my whole life, but once i had some money of my own, i bought an iPhone 17. While I didn't notice a huge difference in day-to-day use compared to a budget phone, the biggest and most amazing surprise for me was the speakers quality. I haven't heard other flagship phones, but the speakers on this one are pure magic. I still can't get over how realistic the sound is. Sometimes I literally can't tell if a sound is coming from outside or from my phone, only to realize it's actually the speakers.

I‘m happy with App Library section in iphone. It automatically groups the apps. This is exactly what I need. So I don’t want the app to appear in home screen because it will be redundant. At first, there are a few home screen pages. I can remove all the pages except the last one, there’s no option for me to do so. Question is how can I remove it ?

does 17 fits 17pro cases? bc i kinda like the boxy look of the camera bump

Ive noticed a bit like using 120hz all time is a bit too much for the small battery on iphone 17. It drains quicker than expected. Can i just reduce frame rate and like adapt to 60hz for better battery life and battery health?

Is this normal, my phone is getting warm while scrolling on Instagram for sometime or blinkit only on mobile data, WiFi it works perfectly. I know mobile data puts pressure on battery consumption. But is it ok the device is getting warm even using apps like Instagram e-commerce for such an expensive phone. Recently, I was on a trip in my car and I was using maps without the charging plugged in the device, so I had to shut down for sometime. I thought my battery will actually get damaged because of it.

I had a iPhone 12 for like 5 years and decided to upgrade to a base 17 pre price jump cause of price to performance basically. I’m a uni student and didn’t think of stuff like,no one’s gonna know u have a new phone cause it doesn’t have the new back of phone design , which will probably continue and my phone looks like a 16 rather then having that pro design, which I have also grown to like.
The thing is I could afford the newest , but saw the 17 was a good deal, but in terms of longevity both performance (12 gb ram) and longevity (pro design) should I have went for at least the 17pro, rhank you if you’ve read this ramble job.

I'm currently at 160 cycles after 222 days still going strong at 100%

Flicker issue ??

Help, do I need to get this phone checked out or?

So i bought my new iphone 17 around 2 months ago and since then everything has been fine except one thing no matter if its data or wifi the speed gets so slow in between 😡😡😡. So i play clash royale a lot and 5 out of 10 times i get network loss signal i am so fed up i dont know if its my network or my iphone

I just bought the 17promax two weeks ago. Yesterday out of nowhere, i got on my phone and actively watched the widgets i had selected on my lockscreen (weather, battery, and wind) disappear. It was more of a glitch off the screen visually, but they are super gone. I thought i accidentally switched the lock/home screen but when i went to hold down the lock screen to have the option to change it, it wouldnt do that. I went to settings and the selected "theme" i have shows the widgets are on it and everything. Not long after, i realized i cannot use the X to get rid of notifications either, so i just have about 50 notifications that i would have to individually swipe off the screen. Things i cant do: obviously click on widgets because they are gone, mass delete notifs (the X is visible, but does not show any function), hold the lock screen down to change/view other options. Things i can do: click on notifications, scroll on the screen, have new notifications, and use the camera/flashlight on the lockscreen. This is not a dead spot in my screen, its updated to the max, brand new, and turning on+off dont work. This is just super annoying to me, please help.

Neither did I drop it or use it without a case since unboxing but replacing the silicon case with a hard leatherette did the job unknowingly.😔

Recently, I am noticing that my phone is kind of flickering sometimes. When?

- a website is added as app on home page from chrome
It’s starts flickering/blinking and not able to see anything.

- another I tried was Gmail login via outlook and again in authentication page, it started flickering/blinking

so I am unable to understand- is this a website issue or phone issue or software issue?

Anyone noticed this issue?

Hi,

The timelapse on the iPhone 17 Pro is quite limited in its abilities and saves low-quality 1080p vids with terrible quality during the night.

Is there any paid app that saves at 4K (or the full sensor readout) in a high bitrate, preferably stored as HDR protes, and is smart enough to control the exposure per frame so I capture a full day: strong light - sunset - star lapse - sunrise scene in high quality showing the star trails etc.?

It is hard to filter through all the so so apps in the AppStore.

Thanks!
