Yes, and the XS was the follow-up to the previous X and thus also the "Pro" model, before they were explicitly named as such. So my move that year was indeed a downgrade. Now I'm kind of worried of doing the same thing again - but spec-wise, the base 17 is really not at all a downgrade from my current 15 Pro, apart from the camera department.

Base iPhone 17 is the first year since the Pros existed where I think most people are not missing out by getting the non-pro.

I'm certainly not a photographer but I got the 16 Pro because of ProMotion. If I were upgrading this year, I'd probably go for the standard 17 because it finally has practically everything a standard user could expect.
