It's a top performer, lasts ages, has competitive cameras, and looks every bit the flagship.

Only the most serious of photographers will be left wanting, but they'll have to spend a lot more to get significantly better snaps. Everyone else will struggle to find much to grumble about.

With a supreme spec sheet including an amazing 8x zoom cam, there's little that can be argued against the 17 Pro Max.

Of course, it's expensive, but you're getting a phone that can do everything: in use, this model sits head and shoulders above anything else in Apple's range.
