Is the iPhone 17 really that exciting, or am I just getting FOMO?

So I wasn’t planning on buying the iPhone 17 at all. I’ve got an iPhone 16 Pro Max, it works perfectly, and I didn’t feel any real urge to upgrade. But last week my friend showed up with the iPhone 17, and he has been buzzing with excitement ever since. Like, full-on “new phone energy” every single day. I honestly thought he’d calm down after 24 hours, but nope he’s still showing it off like he just unboxed it five minutes ago. I ended up messing around with it a bit, and I’ll admit… it felt pretty nice. Nothing life-changing, nothing dramatic just a really smooth, fresh, new-phone feeling. And watching someone else be that happy about a purchase? It gets into your head more than you’d think. Now I keep catching myself thinking about it even though I was perfectly content before. I hate that I’m even asking this, but here we are: Am I actually starting to rethink buying the iPhone 17? Yeah… maybe.
