About half or more of the screen constantly disappears in the iMessage app. Contacts list l made an entry but is was incorrect so l tried to delete it. Now every time I open my contacts it is still there and if I try to open it to get the option to delete it, it always opens whichever contact I had opened previously.

Great phone!

Yes, I'd recommend this product.

This is a great phone. I got it as a gift for my significant other.It has all the bells and whistles plenty of storage space it works really well. It looks really great. The only difficulty is that in the transfer process a lot of her important passwords did not transfer over. There were also several pictures in different notes that she had made that did not transfer over. They’re not on the cloud and they’re not in her phone so she just has to go back and re-enter a lot of data about we’re different websites that she uses frequently. Other than her frustration with the data transfer, this is a great phone and I would recommend it.

Good phone. Definitely an upgrade from my old iPhone. So far so good.

Not for small hands

NancyB . 1 day ago

I have small, petite hands & this phone is just slightly too big to navigate one handed. I’ve been disappointed that Apple keeps increasing the size. I understand they can pack more tech in a larger phone, but it’s inconvenient that I need 2 hands to do most things on it. Adding a quick camera button is great, but again because I can’t hold the phone adeptly with one hand, it actually makes selfies infinitely more difficult to take. I miss my home button. And the screen is so sensitive. Definitely miss my 2020 SE.

iPhone 17 is great!

Steve . 1 day ago

Yes, I'd recommend this product.

iPhones keep on improving! I just traded-in my iPhone 11 for an iPhone 17. iOS 26.1 looks and works so well plus 5G is faster. Battery life is a definite improvement. You will be glad you upgraded.

The deal was unbelievable! Our time in the Verizon store was very good. We had a great team worker who did all the transfer stuff while we just watched. They took our old XS’s and we left with 17’s.

Great purchase

I clicked the promo because it said I would get a free phone for 13 years of loyal service but the phone isn’t free. It says I have to pay for it. That’s bait and switch advertising. How do I get a free iPhone 17?
