After some stupidity, I finally got my IPhone 17E. It'll take some getting used to, since there were a bunch of minor surprises I wasn't expecting. The case I got for it has a large slit on the right side, a few inches below the lock/power button. At first I thought this was where the new action button is, but I don't actually feel a button there. Also I'm not a big fan of how much they tried to bring out the bass on these speakers. Maybe I'm just used to the slightly worn speakers on my xs, but I find these speakers a little fatiguing to listen to. Maybe they have to break in or I'll get used to it after a few days. On the plus side, the battery life is insane compared to what I was used to on my dying xs, and the microphone seems to be pretty good too. It sounds less tinny, which I like. It of course goes without saying that the phone is quite responsive. It feels a bit snappier than my xs did in certain situations, and it seems to run less hot as well.
