IPHONE 17 PRO MAX REFINED WITH POWER, POLISH, AND ALL-DAY ENDURANCE

The 17 Pro Max introduces a more rugged, aluminium-heavy design that shifts away from the glossy titanium aesthetic of the 16 Pro Max.

Rounded edges make the large frame surprisingly comfortable to hold, reducing the "sharp" discomfort of earlier generations. The wider camera plateau not only looks distinctive but also reduces wobble on flat surfaces. Colours are excellent this year, with the Cosmic Orange making a bold statement. It was so similar to the Mercedes-Benz AMG G63's Copper Orange Magno paint job that I just had to reserve an evening for a photoshoot with the two. And you can see the results of it yourself.
