What Customers Say

Reviewers hail the iPhone 17 Pro Max for its tougher Ceramic Shield 2 glass, new vapor‑chamber cooling that keeps the powerful A19 Pro chip running smoothly, and a beautiful 6.9‑inch display that reaches up to 3,000 nits brightness. They also admire the improved camera system, which replaces the old 12‑MP telephoto with a high‑resolution 48‑MP lens, and say battery life is better than previous models. Conversely, many complain that the phone is bulkier and heavier than last year’s version and that the extended camera bar design looks odd. Some also question whether the higher price is justified when the regular iPhone 17 Pro offers a similar feature set. Overall, it's seen as a feature‑packed powerhouse with a polarizing design.
