Description
Display and design
- Larger, brighter screen: The iPhone 17 Pro Max features a 6.9-inch Super Retina XDR OLED display, a step up in size from its predecessors. It is also brighter, with 3,000 nits of peak brightness for outdoor viewing.
- Enhanced durability: The back of the phone is protected by Ceramic Shield for the first time, which provides four times more resistance to cracks than previous glass designs. The front is covered by the improved Ceramic Shield 2, which offers three times better scratch resistance.
- Aluminum unibody: In a shift from the titanium frame of the iPhone 15 Pro, the iPhone 17 Pro Max uses a new heat-forged aluminum unibody design. It is available in three finishes: deep blue, cosmic orange, and silver.
Performance and power
- A19 Pro chip: The device is powered by the A19 Pro chip, which features a 6-core CPU, 6-core GPU with Neural Accelerators, and a 16-core Neural Engine. The A19 Pro chip provides up to 40% better sustained performance than the A18 Pro.
- Vapor-chamber cooling: To maintain high performance during intense workloads like gaming and video editing, a new vapor-chamber cooling system is built directly into the aluminum frame to dissipate heat.
- Extended battery life: A larger battery, made possible by the redesigned internal structure, provides the best battery life ever on an iPhone. The device supports fast-charging, offering up to a 50% charge in 20 minutes with a 40W adapter.
- Enhanced connectivity: The iPhone 17 Pro Max includes Apple’s new N1 wireless networking chip, which provides Wi-Fi 7, Bluetooth 6, and improved 5G connectivity.
Camera system
- Triple 48MP rear cameras: The Pro Fusion camera system includes three 48MP lenses: a Main, an Ultra Wide, and a Telephoto. This offers a 16x optical-quality zoom range, with up to 8x optical-quality zoom on the telephoto lens, the longest ever on an iPhone.
- 18MP Center Stage front camera: The new front-facing camera features an 18MP square sensor that enables a wider field of view and higher-resolution photos and videos. It supports features like Dual Capture (recording from front and rear cameras simultaneously) and auto-framing for group photos and video calls.
- Pro video features: The camera system includes advanced features for professionals, such as ProRes RAW, Apple Log 2, and Genlock support, which allows for precise video synchronization.
New and notable features

- Dual eSIM: In supported countries, the iPhone 17 Pro Max is eSIM-only, providing enhanced security and convenience. Removing the physical SIM tray allows for an even larger battery.
- Expanded storage capacity: For the first time on an iPhone, the Pro Max offers a 2TB storage option, in addition to 256GB, 512GB, and 1TB.
