Choose the Apple iPhone 17 if…

The iPhone 17 is a solid, polished phone with the best software support and resale value in the market. However, for your budget, it costs significantly more than the Xiaomi while offering a smaller screen, a much smaller battery, and no dedicated telephoto lens. It's a good phone, but it doesn't use your budget as effectively.

Choose the Xiaomi 15T Pro if…

For your budget, the Xiaomi 15T Pro is the smarter buy. It delivers the same top-tier flagship performance as the iPhone 17, with a significantly larger battery, a higher refresh rate screen, and a dedicated 5x optical telephoto camera for better zoom. You get more hardware for your money, and it stays well under your budget.
