Design and build
The iPhone 17 Pro Max measures 163.4 x 78 x 8.8mm and weighs 233g. It uses an aluminium alloy frame with Ceramic Shield 2 on the front. The back uses aluminium alloy with a glass section. Apple rates it IP68, with immersion up to 6 metres for 30 minutes. Colour options are Silver, Cosmic Orange and Deep Blue.
Display
The 6.9-inch LTPO Super Retina XDR OLED display has 1320 x 2868 pixels, about 460 pixels per inch. ProMotion lets the refresh rate reach 120Hz. It supports HDR10 and Dolby Vision. Brightness reaches 1600 nits in high brightness mode and 3000 nits at peak. Ceramic Shield 2 adds an anti-reflective coating that helps in bright light.
Performance and software
The A19 Pro chip is built on a 3nm process with a 6-core GPU. It is one of the fastest chips in any phone. Storage options run from 256GB up to 2TB, the first time Apple has offered 2TB on an iPhone. There is no memory card slot. The phone launched with iOS 26, and Apple typically supports its iPhones with updates for many years.
Cameras
All three rear cameras use 48MP sensors. The main camera has an f/1.6 aperture, a large sensor and sensor-shift stabilisation. The periscope telephoto offers a 100mm focal length for sharp zoom shots. Video is a major strength. The phone records 4K at up to 120fps, with Dolby Vision HDR, ProRes, ProRes RAW and Apple Log 2 for professional editing. The 18MP front camera supports Center Stage and records 4K video.
Battery and charging
Battery capacity depends on the model. The nano-SIM version has a 4832mAh battery, while the eSIM-only model has 5088mAh. Wired charging reaches 50% in about 20 minutes. MagSafe and Qi2 wireless charging run at up to 25W. You can also charge accessories with 4.5W reverse wired charging.
Connectivity
The iPhone supports 5G on many bands, including n78 for Nigerian networks. It also has Wi-Fi 7, Bluetooth 6.0, NFC and second-generation Ultra Wideband. The USB-C port runs at USB 3.2 Gen 2 speeds with DisplayPort output. SIM options vary by region. US models are eSIM-only. Find out how this works in our guide to eSIM.
Tips for new owners
When you set up the iPhone, use Quick Start to move data from an older iPhone, or the Move to iOS app if you are switching from Android. Turn on iCloud Backup and Find My straight away. Next, check whether your network supports eSIM if you have an eSIM model. For video creators, explore the camera settings to enable ProRes or Apple Log only when you need them, because these files are very large. A case with MagSafe magnets keeps wireless charging fast. Finally, set Optimised Battery Charging on to help protect long-term battery health.
How it compares
Compared with the newer iPhone 18 Pro Max, the 17 Pro Max uses the older A19 Pro chip and a fixed-aperture main camera. However, it still offers a large screen, excellent video and long software support. As prices drop after the newer model’s launch, it can be a smart buy for many users.
Price and availability
iPhone prices vary greatly by country, storage and seller. Check the price table on this page, and buy from authorised resellers to avoid fake or refurbished units sold as new.
Should you buy the Apple iPhone 17 Pro Max 5G?
