iPhone 17 Pro Max Review — 3 weeks with Apple's flagship
The iPhone 17 Pro Max promises to be the best Apple smartphone ever made. After 3 weeks of intensive use, here is our verdict.
Installation
Unboxing is classic Apple: elegant, minimal. Activation takes 2 minutes. Transfer from an older iPhone is seamless via iCloud. First impressions are immediate thanks to the familiar design.
Daily use
The Super Retina XDR display is stunning. The A19 Pro chip is blazing fast: no latency, even with 20 apps open. Battery life lasts a full day with 5 hours of screen-on time. The camera is outstanding in portrait and night modes.
Issues found
The weight (227g) is noticeable after an hour of handling. The 5x optical zoom is impressive but the camera module protrudes from the body. No charger included, as usual. The price remains very high.
Verdict
An excellent smartphone that packs many strengths: display, performance, camera, battery life. The price is the only drawback. If budget is not an obstacle, it is the best choice in 2026.
Veredicto: The best Apple smartphone in 2026, but the price remains a barrier for many.
