It's almost unbelievable, but since the launch of iPhone 17 sales Pro, Apple Watch 11 AirPods Pro 3 and more Apple news, exactly half a year passed on Thursday. All Apple The new products went on sale on September 19th of last year, with miniiPhones 17 and 17 Pro were then extremely scarce goods for many months. However, I got my hands on all these products on the very first day of sale, thanks to which I celebrated my imaginary six-month birthday with them, and I think it's time to recapitulate after six months how one actually lives with them after such a long period of daily use. So let's get to it.

iPhone 17 Pro
Honestly, iPhone 17 Pro for me Applu really succeeded and after the previous "sixteen" generation I really feel a step forward. I certainly can't say that it is a revolutionary phone, but what is AppI managed to combine it, and I still like it after half a year.
The biggest step forward I currently see is the excellent battery life, which is noticeably better than previous generations, as days that I used to end with, for example, 10% battery remaining, I now end. miniat least 10% higher, and it is more of a rule that I have even more battery life left. In terms of battery life, so Apple definitely scored.
The same can be said about charging in pale blue, as it has wireless charging thanks to Qi2.2 support.onethe true meaning. TooneIt is no longer just an accessory to a fast cable, but thanks to support for up to 25W, it is something that you reach for even when you need to charge your phone really fast. Sure, it still doesn't "stick" to a cable wirelessly, but the difference is no longer as significant as it used to be.
I also have to praise the camera, which I still really enjoy. Having a 4x optical and 8x hybrid zoom is a truly liberating thing, which you realize especially in situations you've been in before and thought would be worth capturing, but your phone doesn't have enough zoom. iPhone 17 Pro but it breaks this reality and gives you a device that is far more complex than anything we've had in our hands so far.
On the other hand, it is worth adding to the camera's credit that it could of course be better and that in poor light, the limits, especially with the telephoto lens, are relatively quickly apparent due to loss of detail, slight noise, and so on. Users hungry for visually perfect photos for miniI think a working mum might be a little annoyed by the fact that iPhone 17 Pro (like the last few Pro series) tries to photograph reality and not embellish the photos.
In other words, when I recently tested the iPhone 17e's camera, its on-paper inferior camera system often took a more visually pleasing picture (albeit with less detail and so on). So it's a bit of a shame that the cameras are not as good across the board in terms of AI interventions to improve the resulting image. Applu diverges a bit, because it then creates similar peculiarities.
I also perceive it somewhat negatively, as a big brick iPhone 17 Pro actually it is. Although it has gained slightly on paper compared to previous generations, you can already feel it in your hand and if you exchange it for a basic one for a while iPhone 17, they didn't say iPhone Air or perhaps iPhone SE 2020 with a rounded body, you feel a bit strange about it. On the one hand, you realize that it is an incredible hard worker that combines everything top-notch that Apple offers in the mobile world, but on the other hand, its construction corresponds to this, which in my opinion does not focus entirely on design, but rather on practicality.
As for other upgrades, honestly, after half a year I don't notice them at all or I minithey don't really improve anything. You can't tell if the phone is faster than the previous generation even in a direct comparison, I haven't had any major problems with overheating in the past, and the front camera is really good, but I don't use it much. I would like to praise it Apple I wanted at least for the quality of the TechWoven covers, which is absolutely great, and for the Crossbody straps, which I still really enjoy.
So generally, after half a year with iPhone 17 Pro said that even though it has become commonplace in many ways, I am still very satisfied, which is greater than in previous years, especially thanks to the excellent durability and more complex camera. So I would definitely not be afraid to recommend this phone for purchase even now, because I think that iPhone 18 Pro does not fundamentally change compared to this piece.

Apple Watch 11
When Apple Watch my review will be considerably shorter compared to the iPhone. If you have examined their technical specifications, you certainly know that they are technically very similar to Apple Watch Series 10 and honestly, they are quite similar to the previous few generations, if I don't count the slight redesign. However, while the "tens" were able to attract attention precisely with the redesign, Apple Watch Series 11 is quite a challenge to highlight interesting features.
The only thing I think is really worth mentioning about this model is its improved battery life, which in my case means about half a day more – so I go from 1,5 days without sleep measurement to about 2 days, which is not bad. Of course, I also charge Apple Watch daily, however, when you need to be somewhere longer or be away from electricity, it's just nice to know that the watch can handle it better than the previous generation without any problems.
However, this is where the list of news ends, which might seem strange at first glance. But to some extent, I think that Apple Watch are not a product that should Apple somehow fundamentally update every year, because in the form they are in now, they are really well made, except for the worse battery life compared to the competition. After all, for the vast majority of us this is an accessory to the iPhone, which they fulfill Apple Watch thanks to the perfect connection to the one with the star.
What do I mean by that? Actually, mainly that even though they can Apple Watch 11 may look quite boring at first glance, you definitely won't regret buying them, because in my opinion, they are the best watches you can connect to your iPhone. Pro For Series 10 owners, this would of course be a pointless purchase, while Series 9 owners will have to ask themselves whether a redesign is enough to make the switch. Owners of older Apple Watch but in my opinion they may experience quite noticeable battery degradation and in that case I would not hesitate to buy them over any other than the latest model due to the long software support. So buying the Series 11 is definitely not a bad idea, although they certainly won't make you sit on your ass or make you miniThey will not impress as much as the Series 10 was able to thanks to the redesign combined with the beautiful piano black jacket in which the Watch arrived for the first time, even in the aluminum version.

AirPods Pro 3
After reading the previous lines, it can be said with a bit of exaggeration that the score of satisfaction or, if you prefer, enthusiasm vs. cold reception is 1:1. Headphones AirPods Pro However, 3 definitely tips this score towards enthusiasm, because it is something that, quite frankly, I cannot imagine my daily life without.
Magic AirI fell in love with Pods years ago and, unsurprisingly, I've replaced several models from both the Pro, so also from the basic one. And honestly, the basic one Air4nd generation Pods with ANC I liked them so much in the past that I was almost convinced that I would remain loyal to them for many years to come. AirPods Pro 3, however, take user comfort to a whole new level, both through sound, the quality of which is significantly higher than that of AirPods 4, but also at AirPods Pro 2, mainly through the absolutely phenomenal ANC.
Once you manage to choose the right earplugs (which, by the way, are a little harder than the previous generation, but will soften slightly over time and fit better in your ears), during active use ANC you literally and figuratively shut yourself away in your own world, where there is only you and your thoughts. Sometimes outside noise seeps in, but when it does, it is usually a really loud sound like a car honking, a tram ringing, a dog barking or a train braking. But when you walk through the city, the usual sounds of the surroundings pass you by in a flash.
Honestly, AirI use the Pods primarily for calling, which I spend several hours a day on, and to concentrate when I need peace and quiet even in places that aren't exactly conducive to it (which isn't even our apartment with a seven-month-old baby). However, these headphones excelThey excel in both of these respects, both thanks to the high-quality microphones that transmit your voice during FaceTime calls in such a quality that the other party almost feels like they are standing next to you, and thanks to the aforementioned ANC. Then when I play music on the way to training, for example, and combine it again with ANC, thanks to the high-quality sound, I can enjoy each song more than I was able to with previous ones AirSubs.
AppIn addition, there is AirPods Pro 3 managed to extend the endurance with ANC, thanks to which you will absolutely not have to worry about your headphones running out of battery even when you have them in your ears for a really long time. Of course, they are also resistant to sweat and basic wetness, so you can safely go to the gym with them, light rain, and so on. By the way, one of their main functions is heart rate monitoring, which can definitely come in handy in the gym, although I as a user Apple Watch leaves this feature completely cool.
In general, however, it is possible AirPods Pro 3 to say that even though these are actually "just" better headphones, Applu has managed to take the features for which he had previously received praise to a whole new level. I deliberately don't want to say that to perfection, because I believe that in a few years I will put it in my ears AirPods Pro 4 and you will blast me into space again with your quality, but what you can get from now Applu to buy, for me personally it is the definition of brilliant headphones for Apple user.
TIP: With discount code LSA you can now AirPods Pro 3 can be obtained for only 5555 CZK.
