For a long time, Apple had the best premium smartphones and the iPhone 17 Pro Max is no exception. The iPhone 17 Pro Max advances Apple’s innovations when it comes to smartphone design, power and endurance. Apple introduced the iPhone 17 Pro Max with the new design on 9 September 2025 under the caption “Awe Dropping”. Pro Max iPhone 17’s most advanced features include a slimmer design, improved performance and advanced AI cinematic photography. The iPhone 17 Pro Max has started dominating the mobile market and is the main trending topic on X. Customers have seen the new vibrant colours and have commented on the improved battery life and the new eye-catching orange. The starting price is £1,199 for the 256GB model, which is £100 more than the previous model. This is a unique mobile.
A Striking New Design: Sleek, Sustainable, and Scratch-Resistant
Apple iPhone 17 Pro Max has also made modifications to the previously used titanium material and uses an aluminium unibody frame that is hybrid glass-aluminium. It weighs 7.7 ounces, which is lighter and also environmentally better. It measures 6.37 inches tall by 3.06 inches wide, and the only reason it is slightly thicker is to fit a larger battery. Thinner phones might be the trend, but a full aluminium unibody with a hybrid glass back deserves to be called premium. The full horizontal plateau with the 3 “48-megapixel” camera lenses seamlessly integrates into the chassis and the chassis black camera bump has the larger bump.
The corners of the “Ceramic Shield 2” are protected and covered with an anti-reflection material which means it has better scratch resistance and visibility. The overall visibility is better even in direct sunlight. The 4 available finish colours are titanium: Natural, Black, Teal, and the bold Orange. Orange has made headlines on X by “turning pink” and has also motivated people in their fitness journeys. The IP68 rating means it is dust and water-resistant and it also supports MagSafe 2 charging with a 25W. Fast wireless charging is a must in our everyday lives.
Display: Bigger, Brighter, and Always Smooth
Measuring 6.9 inches diagonally, the Super Retina XDR OLED display offers 120Hz ProMotion and adaptive refresh rates. For the first time, this feature is available throughout the entire iPhone 17 lineup. Hence, all your scrolling and animations are buttery smooth. Brightness peaks at 2,000 nits for HDR content, which is further made to be outdoor-friendly because of the anti-reflective feature which reduces glare. The Always-On display feature persists in dimmed efficiency. The smaller Dynamic Island still holds the Face ID sensors without sacrificing the edge-to-edge design. Reviewers appreciate the extra care received in the packaging and state that the display is more scratch-resistant than anticipated.
Power Under the Hood: A19 Pro and AI Supremacy
The A19 Pro chip works with an 8-core CPU, a 6-core GPU and a 16-core Neural Engine optimised for Apple Intelligence which offers breakthrough performance within the 3nm process, since this is one of the first chips used with TSMC’s second-generation 3nm wafer. Paired with 12GB of unified RAM—up from 8GB in the iPhone 16 Pro Max—it handles 8K video editing and other demanding tasks with on-device AI features like enhanced Siri and real-time photo editing. Apple’s custom Wi-Fi 7 chip offers fast connection and, coupled with vapor chamber cooling, prevents overheating during long gaming or AR sessions.
The storage capacity for the new phone starts at 256GB and can go all the way to 2TB. It has also removed the physical SIM card slot and has eSIM only. They reveal Apple’s iOS 19 will include these updates seamlessly. One feature will enhance the experience for vloggers by allowing you to record videos simultaneously on different sides of the iPhone.

For all the selfie lovers out there, you will get a new 24MP selfie camera! It takes 4k videos at 60fps and has new features that allow you to record in 8k and capture videos in dual mode. Creators are especially keen on the new feature where it allows you to film front and back at the same time.
