MobiCircuit Verdict
The iPhone 17 Pro Max is a big step up from last year. The telephoto and selfie cameras are better, the A19 Pro chip stays cool under load, the screen is brighter and the battery lasts longer. Reviewers also like the faster 40W charging, but it needs a separate charger. It is heavy, the design divides opinion, and the price is very high.
What’s Good
- 1Excellent sustained performance, helped by vapour-chamber cooling
- 2Strong battery life, among the best on an iPhone
- 3Better 48 MP 4x telephoto and a sharper selfie camera
- 4Top-class video recording
- 5Bright 6.9″ display (up to 3000 nits) with tougher Ceramic Shield 2
What’s Not
- 1Very high price
- 2Heavy at 233 g, and the design divides opinion
- 3Digital zoom still trails the Galaxy S25 Ultra and Pixel 10 Pro XL
