DESCRIPTION
Get the inside scoop on the iPhone 17 Pro Max! This powerhouse boasts the cutting-edge A19 Pro chip, an enhanced triple-48MP camera system with an impressive 8x optical zoom, and the biggest battery ever seen in an iPhone. Plus, check out the new 2TB storage option, lightning-fast Wi-Fi 7 connectivity, and a sleek redesigned aluminum unibody.
DESIGN AND DISPLAY
The iPhone 17 Pro Max has taken a bold step forward with its redesign, breaking away from the look of its predecessors. It features a new, somewhat controversial camera “plateau” and a sleek aluminum unibody frame. The standout design element is a wide, horizontal camera bar that stretches across the back of the phone, allowing for more room inside for things like a bigger battery and better thermal management. Crafted from a lightweight aerospace-grade 7000-series aluminum alloy, this new structure is built to be tough and help with heat dissipation. Plus, both the front and back are shielded by Ceramic Shield 2, which is touted to be more durable and scratch-resistant than earlier versions. Critics have been raving about the display on the iPhone 17 Pro Max. It boasts a generous 6.9-inch Super Retina XDR OLED screen with ultra-slim bezels. The display supports a ProMotion adaptive refresh rate of up to 120Hz and features an Always-On display. One of the most impressive upgrades is the peak brightness, which now hits a remarkable 3,000 nits, a jump from the 2,000 nits of the previous model. This enhancement makes the screen much easier to see in bright sunlight. Additionally, it comes with a new anti-reflective coating to minimize glare, making it even more user-friendly outdoors. And let’s not forget the Dynamic Island feature, which adds a fun touch for interactive notifications and alerts.
CAMERA
The iPhone 17 Pro Max boasts an impressive and adaptable camera system that brings several exciting upgrades, making it one of the top contenders in the smartphone photography arena. Unlike its predecessors with the square camera bump, this model showcases a sleek “camera plateau” design—a raised bar that stretches across the entire back of the phone. This fresh look accommodates a triple-camera setup, with each lens featuring a remarkable 48-megapixel sensor, a first for the iPhone series. The rear camera system includes a 48MP Main camera, a 48MP Ultra Wide camera, and a 48MP Telephoto camera. The telephoto lens sports a new tetraprism design with a sensor that’s 56% larger, enhancing detail and sharpness in various lighting conditions. This innovative design allows for a 4x optical zoom, perfect for capturing portraits, along with an impressive 8x optical-quality zoom, the longest ever seen on an iPhone. The new A19 Pro chip powers the upgraded Photonic Engine, which leverages machine learning to maintain natural detail, minimize noise, and enhance color accuracy. For those in the creative field, the phone offers advanced video capabilities, including 4K video recording at up to 120fps, ProRes RAW, and Apple Log 2. The front-facing camera has received a significant boost as well. The iPhone 17 Pro Max features an 18MP “Center Stage” camera. Its unique square sensor allows for wider landscape selfies without needing to turn your phone, making it ideal for group photos. Plus, this camera automatically centers you during video calls, a feature that first made waves on the iPad.
PROCESSOR
The iPhone 17 Pro Max is driven by Apple’s latest A19 Pro chip, a cutting-edge 3nm processor crafted for top-notch performance and efficiency. This system-on-a-chip boasts a hexa-core CPU, featuring two performance cores and four efficiency cores, along with a powerful 6-core GPU. Plus, the A19 Pro is equipped with a 16-core Neural Engine that handles on-device machine learning tasks seamlessly. When you stack it up against its predecessor, the A18 Pro, this new chip delivers a remarkable performance boost, with some reports suggesting it can achieve up to 40% better sustained performance, thanks in part to an innovative vapor chamber cooling system that effectively manages heat. But it’s not just about raw power; the A19 Pro chip comes packed with several impressive advancements. Its GPU includes “Neural Accelerators” in each core, specifically designed for machine learning tasks, allowing for up to four times the peak GPU compute performance compared to the A18 Pro. The chip also supports enhanced memory options, featuring 12GB of LPDDR5X RAM, and has a larger system-level cache that enhances overall responsiveness. For connectivity, the iPhone 17 Pro Max uses a Qualcomm modem to ensure full 5G capabilities, along with Apple’s own N1 wireless chip for Wi-Fi 7 and Bluetooth 6.0 support. This powerful combination of a robust CPU, an advanced GPU, and dedicated AI and wireless hardware makes the A19 Pro a vital part of the iPhone 17 Pro Max’s capabilities, whether you’re gaming, tackling professional tasks, or enjoying advanced photography and on-device AI features.
RAM AND STORAGE
The iPhone 17 Pro Max has received some impressive upgrades, particularly in the RAM department and its maximum storage capacity. It now boasts 12GB of LPDDR5X RAM, which is a notable jump from what we’ve seen in earlier models. This boost in memory is tailored to handle the heavy lifting required by the A19 Pro chip, enabling advanced on-device AI capabilities and professional tasks like 4K and ProRes RAW video editing. Thanks to the LPDDR5X standard, users can expect quicker data transfer speeds and better power efficiency, which enhances the phone’s overall responsiveness and battery performance. When it comes to internal storage, the iPhone 17 Pro Max offers four different tiers to cater to a variety of user needs. It starts at 256GB, with options for 512GB and 1TB. For the first time, Apple has also rolled out a whopping 2TB storage option, exclusively for the Pro Max model. This new tier is perfect for professionals and content creators who need ample local storage for their high-resolution photos, 8K videos, and other sizable files. The storage utilizes NVMe technology, ensuring rapid read and write speeds, which is essential for managing large files and running demanding applications smoothly. As with all iPhones, there’s no option to expand the storage with a memory card.
BATTERY & CHARGING
The iPhone 17 Pro Max features a sturdy battery designed for prolonged use, boasting an official capacity of 5,088 mAh for the eSIM-only version and 4,823 mAh for models equipped with a physical SIM tray. This marks a significant improvement over the iPhone 16 Pro5 Max. Apple claims that the iPhone 17 Pro Max can provide up to 39 hours of video playback and may even last up to two days with light to moderate usage, thanks to its larger battery, the efficient A19 Pro chip, and optimized software. For charging, the iPhone 17 Pro Max supports fast charging via USB-C. With a compatible 40W adapter or higher (sold separately), you can reach 50% charge in just 20 minutes. If you use a 30W adapter with a MagSafe Charger (also sold separately), you can achieve 50% charge in 30 minutes. The device also supports MagSafe wireless charging and Qi2 wireless charging, both up to 25W.
CONNECTIVITY
The iPhone 17 Pro Max is packed with cutting-edge connectivity features that take things up a notch from earlier models. It boasts Wi-Fi 7, the newest wireless standard that promises faster speeds, lower latency, and better reliability. This device runs on Apple’s latest N1 chip for both Wi-Fi and Bluetooth, although it’s worth noting that the Wi-Fi 7 implementation is capped at a 160 MHz channel bandwidth, which falls short of the maximum 320 MHz that the standard allows. For cellular connectivity, the iPhone 17 Pro Max is equipped with a Qualcomm Snapdragon X80 modem, which enhances 5G data speeds, coverage, and power efficiency, thanks in part to its built-in AI accelerator hardware. In some international markets, the phone adopts an eSIM-only design, while in other regions, it may still offer a physical SIM tray alongside eSIM support. This aligns with Apple’s ongoing shift towards a fully digital SIM experience. Additionally, the iPhone 17 Pro Max includes a second-generation Ultra Wideband (UWB) chip, which boosts spatial awareness and accuracy for features like Find My and AirDrop. One of the standout features of this connectivity suite is the enhanced satellite functionality. The iPhone 17 Pro Max continues to support Emergency SOS via satellite and has added new capabilities like Messages via satellite and Find My via satellite, allowing users to stay connected even in remote areas without cellular or Wi-Fi service. In certain countries, such as the U.S., iPhones running iOS 26 can now also receive satellite data through services like T-Mobile’s T-Satellite, giving access to a limited selection of mobile apps.
