Apple iPhone 17 vs HONOR 600 Pro

Our Verdict: iPhone 17 and 600 Pro split their appeal between ecosystem, price and hardware rather than producing a simple winner. 600 Pro brings a much higher-resolution 200MP main camera, compared with 48MP, while 600 Pro also has the stronger selfie-camera spec, 50MP versus 18MP; iPhone 17 is noticeably lighter at 177g versus 195g. The value tilt goes to 600 Pro, although iPhone 17 still has room to appeal on hardware. iPhone 17 is the choice for those specific extras, but 600 Pro is easier to justify for most contracts.

The 600 Pro is the cheaper one to own: around £681 over a typical contract, £100 less than the iPhone 17.
