With the iPhone 17 Pro Max, Apple has set a new standard for premium smartphones in 2025. We tested the device for a week — the camera system with the A19 Pro chip, battery life, and the new titanium design.
Design and materials
iPhone 17 Pro Max comes in four new titanium finishes. The device is lighter than ever thanks to the new Grade 5 titanium frame, which is twice as strong as the previous generation. The matte glass back is incredibly pleasant to the touch, and the Action button now comes with haptic feedback that clearly signals every activation.
Camera system — real jump
A triple camera system of 48MP + 48MP + 12MP with a Tetraprism telephoto lens offers 5x optical zoom more stable than ever. The new Photonic Engine processor combined with the A19 Pro chip allows shooting 4K ProRes video directly to iCloud.
Macro photography now works on all lenses, and the new Portrait mode automatically detects people, animals, and objects without special activation.
Performance and battery
The A19 Pro chip brings 15% better CPU performance and 20% better GPU performance. The 4,685 mAh battery realistically lasts 2+ days with moderate use. MagSafe charging now goes up to 25W, and wired charging up to 45W.
Conclusion
The iPhone 17 Pro Max is undoubtedly the best iPhone to date. If you're coming from an iPhone 15 Pro Max or older models, the upgrade is dramatic. The price of €1,499 is premium, but the long-term Apple support of 7+ years makes it a worthwhile investment.
