iPhone 17 Pro Max key features
The iPhone 17 Pro Max is the flagship device of Apple’s 2025 lineup. With its expansive 6.9-inch display, cutting-edge performance, new 2TB storage option and new 48MP ‘Fusion’ camera array, this model pushes the iPhone experience to new heights.

- 256GB: £1,199
- 512GB: £1,399
- 1TB: £1,599
- 2TB: £1,999
It was available for pre-order on Friday, 12 September, and officially went on sale (or arrived if you pre-ordered it) on Friday, 19 September.
Design
The iPhone 17 Pro Max has levelled up its design, with Apple opting for an aluminium frame for one of the lightest iPhone Pro phones ever.
The iPhone 17 Pro Max retains Apple’s iconic look, but with a new ‘aluminium unibody’ frame and ‘forged plateau’ bump surrounding the triple-lens camera display on the back.
New colours set the iPhone 17 Pro and Pro Max models apart from the rest: Deep Blue, Silver, and a relatively new colour for Apple, Cosmic Orange.
With a huge 6.9-inch screen, the Pro Max stands out as the boldest and most premium-looking iPhone in the new range.
Display
At 6.9 inches, the iPhone 17 Pro Max’s Super Retina XDR display is once again the largest available on any iPhone from the new range. It has another incredibly bright and sharp screen, with ProMotion 120Hz refresh rates that scale for smoother performance and improved battery efficiency.
3000 nits of brightness make outdoor use easier than ever, while HDR support ensures that videos, photos, and games look incredibly vibrant and lifelike.
Camera array
Apple’s camera capabilities have been upgraded even further with the iPhone 17 Pro Max. Like its smaller compatriot, the 17 Pro, all three cameras on the back of the model are new 48MP ‘Fusion’ cameras, and the selfie camera has been upgraded to an 18MP ‘Center Stage’ lens with added functionality. Here’s a full list of the cameras sported by the iPhone 17 Pro Max:
- 48MP Fusion main camera
- 48MP Fusion Ultra Wide
- 48MP Fusion Telephoto
- 18MP Center Stage (selfie)
Features like High-Resolution Portraits and AI-assisted editing have expanded, giving photographers and content creators a reason to opt for the Pro Max over smaller models.
Video
Apple has made sure to improve the filmmaking qualities of the iPhone with the latest model.
Its Dolby Vision HDR and 4K120 video capturing capabilities have been complemented with ProRes RAW, which will make films shot on the iPhone 17 Pro Max look more professional than ever for a smartphone.
iPhone 17 Pro Max AI features
Apple didn’t announce any specific new AI features for the iPhone 17 Pro Max, as those announcements came with the launch of its latest operating system, iOS 26.
Performance and battery
At the heart of the iPhone 17 Pro Max is the new A19 Pro chip, featuring a six-core CPU and six-core GPU. It’s designed to power Apple’s most advanced AI features and deliver faster overall performance than ever before.
A new thermal system and vapour chamber further improve the phone’s performance, ensuring it doesn’t overheat when used for big computational tasks (like mobile gaming).
There’s also an improved battery capacity to offset the larger screen size, but Apple isn’t usually specific about the size of the battery it uses in its phones. With Apple continuing to refine energy efficiency, the 17 Pro Max could be the longest-lasting iPhone yet, despite its powerful hardware.
iPhone 17 Pro Max vs 17 Pro
This year, there isn’t much difference between the iPhone 17 Pro Max and the standard Pro model. Here’s a brief list of the differences you may see:
- Display size: 6.9 inches (17 Pro Max) vs 6.3 inches (17 Pro)
- Battery life: Maximum 37 hours’ video playback (17 Pro Max) vs 31 hours (17 Pro)
- Internal storage: Up to 2TB (17 Pro Max) vs Up to 1TB (17 Pro)
- Price: Up to £1,999 (17 Pro Max 2TB) vs Up to £1,499 (17 Pro 1TB)
Why choose the iPhone 17 Pro Max?
If you’re a serious smartphone power user (content creator, filmmaker, designer, competitive gamer) and have a big budget for your next smartphone, then the iPhone 17 Pro Max is likely the right option for you.
However, if you’re more of a casual phone user, you could absolutely get away with a cheaper version of the iPhone 17 range if you’re looking for a brand-new iPhone. Even better, many of the previous iPhone ranges are still readily available at decent prices now that they’re not part of the newest range.

iPhone 17 Pro Max alternatives
For all the hype it gets, the Pro Max isn’t necessarily the only flagship smartphone you could enjoy. Both Samsung and Google Pixel have equally impressive top-end phones in the Samsung Galaxy S25 Ultra and the Google Pixel 10 Pro XL.
Smaller smartphone brands will also offer handsets with comparable features to the 17 Pro Max, but the above two options are probably the most readily available like-for-like alternatives.
Which networks offer iPhone 17 Pro Max deals?
The iPhone 17 Pro Max is available to pre-order from Friday, September 12. At that point, several prominent UK mobile networks will start offering handset contracts for each phone in the new range.
