Yes, I'd recommend this product.

Got this for my daughter, she loves the camera. I think the durability is better now. She says from app to app, it moves faster compared to her old phone. It is another iPhone. I only got it because it was good deal. The issue I have is why on earth are Verizon stores having the audacity to charge anyone to transfer data from the old phone to the new phone??? Verizon, yall bout to lose customers messing around.

Tough transition but glad to be on new phone

mikeinwin . 4 days ago

Yes, I'd recommend this product.

Fast, great battery life. Transition from old phone was painful: phone to phone wouldn't work, had to back up to iCloud and recover. Grateful to be able to use a USB-C dock to show my phone on TVs after apple killed my lightning to hdmi connector.

Phone is working great. A big update should once my a iPhone 12. I like all the updated features.

Exterior buttons are too flimsy

Janine9499 . 4 days ago

In every way I like the phone except the exterior buttons on the sides. There’s too many and they are very flimsy. Every time i handle the phone I inadvertently push a button. I accidentally silence it or change the volume. Extremely annoying.

Phone is Great - Service was Substandard

AppleGoodVICTRA Bad . 5 days ago

Yes, I'd recommend this product.

The ordering process was fine, although the wording on the details was confusing - "total amount you will have paid: $0.00" Total sales price: $829.99" (which is it?) The service at the Verizon VICTRA store was abysmal - couldn't have been worse. Had to drive 60 miles to a Verizon (not VICTRA) store to get help, and finally ended at the Apple store who did everything for free in 20 minutes. Verizon wanted 2-3 hours and $40.

Great new iPhone

Does the phone come with a charger, or does that need to be purchased separately?

Answer from Verizon Customer Support1 month

The iPhone 17 does not come with a wall charger (power adapter) in the box. As part of environmental initiatives, Apple only includes a USB-C to USB-C charging cable. You will need to use an existing USB-C power adapter or purchase a new one separately.
