Apple iPhone 17 Pro Max 1TB, 5G mobile phone with Apple Intelligence, camera control, A19 Pro chip, Cosmic Orange

The Max version brings together three hard-to-imitate trump cards: 7000 series aluminium unibody chassis with integrated vapour chamber, 6.9″ Super Retina XDR OLED display at 120 Hz and 3 000 nits, and a three-sensor 48 MP photographic array with 4× optical zoom / 8× hybrid zoom. The result is increased thermal dissipation, outstanding brightness and professional optical versatility.

Sustained performance

The new Apple A19 Pro (3nm) performs up to 40% longer under full load thanks to vapour cooling, while the 16-core Neural Engine accelerates AI functions and ray-traced games.

Immersive display

The LTPO panel adapts frequency from 1-120 Hz, delivers 460 dpi and maintains readability in direct sunlight with 3,000 nits peak. Ceramic Shield 2 protects front and back, tripling scratch resistance.

48 MP Pro cameras

The main/ultra wide-angle/tele trio (tetraprism 100-200 mm) share resolution, sensor stabilisation and access to ProRes RAW 4K 120 fps. The Photonic Engine refines colour and detail even at 8×, while the 18 MP front-facing camera features Focused Framing.

Battery life and charging

With up to 37 hours of video streaming, it's more than a demanding day and a half. The USB-C port supports 40W fast charging; with the compatible adapter it reaches 50% in about 20 min.

Construction and connectivity

Weighs 231g, maintains IP68 and Face ID reader, and features the N1 chip for Wi-Fi 7, Bluetooth 6, UWB 2 and Thread, plus 5G, NFC and USB-C.

Our expert opinion

The iPhone 17 Pro Max strengthens its lead over the iPhone 17 Pro with a larger screen and +6 h of battery life, and beats the Galaxy S25 Ultra in maximum brightness and native ProRes video, though its top zoom remains at 8× versus Samsung's periscopic 10×. Compared to the Pixel 9 Pro XL, it shines in sustained power and seven-year support, which is key for those looking for the best performance-to-longevity ratio. If you prioritise screen size, battery and professional workflow, the iPhone 17 Pro Max is today's benchmark in the premium range.
