Body & Design
Finally, a new camera module design has been introduced in the iPhone 17 Pro Max. The wide camera module is the first thing I noticed and it really looks good, maybe because I have seen something new in the iPhone design in years.
Apple has gone with an aluminum unibody this year, which makes the phone look cleaner and a little lighter compared to last year’s titanium build. It’s bold, different, and honestly makes the phone look more balanced. The fresh Cosmic Orange and Deep Blue finishes also give it a personality we haven’t really seen on an iPhone before, or at least, I don’t remember it.

| Weight | 233 g (8.22 oz) |
| Build & Protection | Glass front (Ceramic Shield 2), aluminum alloy frame, aluminum alloy back/ glass back (Ceramic Shield) |

Display
The iPhone 17 Pro Max’s display might look similar to its predecessor, the iPhone 16 Pro Max, but its brighter, tougher, and screen to body ratio has improved as well. The display is still a massive 6.9-inch Super Retina XDR, but what really impressed me is the jump in brightness. It can hit up to 3,000 nits, so even outdoors under strong sunlight, the screen remains crystal clear.
ProMotion is here too, which keeps everything feeling smooth whether I’m scrolling, gaming, or just flicking through apps.
| Display Size | 6.9 inches, 115.6 cm2 (~90.7% screen-to-body ratio) |
| Resolution | 1320 x 2868 pixels, 19.5:9 ratio (~460 ppi density) |
| Display type | LTPO Super Retina XDR OLED, 120Hz, HDR10, Dolby Vision, 1000 nits (typ), 1600 nits (HBM), 3000 nits (peak) |
Camera
The new camera setup is where Apple made a real statement. Instead of the old square bump, the lenses now sit in that full-width plateau, housing three 48MP cameras. Yes, the telephoto camera is also 48MP now and stands out with up to 8x optical-quality zoom, the longest we’ve seen on an iPhone.
On the front, the company has increased the pixel count to 18MP. Due to this, the selfies photos and videos look sharper and more dynamic, especially in video calls. From low-light shots to ProRes RAW features, the 17 Pro Max feels built for creators.
| Rear cameras | 3 |
| Main Camera | 48 MP, f/1.6, 24mm (wide), 1/1.28″, 1.22µm, dual pixel PDAF, sensor-shift OIS |
| Telephoto Camera | 48 MP, f/2.8, 100mm (periscope telephoto), 1/2.55″, 0.7µm, PDAF, 3D sensor‑shift OIS, 4x optical zoom |
| Ultrawide Camera | 48 MP, f/2.2, 13mm, 120˚ (ultrawide), 1/2.55″, 0.7µm, PDAF |

Performance
Coming to the performance, It’s definitely improved with the introduction of Apple A19 Pro chipset. The iPhone 17 Pro Max comes with iOS 26 that offers many UI enhancements. Moreover, Apple has added a vapor chamber cooling system inside the aluminum body, which should help keep performance steady during long gaming sessions or heavy editing. Also, you will see a 2TB variant so you don’t run out of the memory anytime soon.
| OS | iOS 26 |
| AI | Apple Intelligence |
| Chipset | Apple A19 Pro (3 nm) |
| CPU | Hexa-core |
| GPU | Apple GPU (6-core graphics) |
| Storage/Memory | 256GB, 512GB, 1TB, 2TB |
| Storage/Memory Type | NVMe |
Apple Intelligence (AI)
Apple is leaning hard into AI this year, and it’s not just a buzzword. With iOS 26, the iPhone 17 Pro Max brings features like Live Translation, smarter Siri responses, and even built-in image creation tools. What I like is that these features are integrated naturally, they don’t feel like add-ons, but more like thoughtful touches that actually make daily use easier.
Battery & Charging
Apple claims this is the longest-lasting iPhone yet, with up to 39 hours of video playback on the Pro Max. That’s a huge jump, and paired with the new 25W MagSafe charging on the Qi 2.2 standard, it feels like a more reliable all-day device. The bigger battery capacity definitely shows, and it’s reassuring to know the phone can handle heavy use without constantly hunting for a charger.
| Battery | Li-Ion 4832 mAh – Nano SIM model Li-Ion 5088 mAh – eSIM only model |
| Charging | Wired, PD2.0, 50% in 20 min 25W wireless (MagSafe), 50% in 30 min 15W wireless (MagSafe) – China only 25W wireless (Qi2) 4.5W reverse wired |
Final Verdict
In the end, the iPhone 17 Pro Max is the real upgrade this time, at least if I see the new design, better performance, enhanced durability, improved cameras, and bigger battery. But the charging speed is still on the lower side. Also, in the start, the iPhone 17 Pro Max price in Pakistan will be much higher than the actual price. So, let’s see how it performs in the local market.
