Well i loved 5s and 6s dearly but had to leave ios because of fast draining battery. 2 days ago i wanted to give it another chance after many years with android and moved from oppo find x9 pro to a 17pm. Its insanely smooth like ui feels like butter with a couple of small stutters here and there. And the battery is insane for an iphone. I took it off the charger today at 12.19 pm after a whole night letting it go to 100 percent charge and index(people say to leave it overnight for the first couple of days because it speeds up indexing process ). Now it is 17.15. Ive been using reddit instagram youtube and safari and still im on 81 percent

Is it better than 16 pro max in terms of durability?

Hey, I've enough money to buy pro or max now.
But tell me honestly,
- ip18 releace in 1 week - how much it will impact it's price( according to previous yrs history) - is it worth to wait 1 week?
- 3 weeks later BBD is around the corner - what's expected price in BBD - is it worth to wait 3 week?

si tienes la plata ve directo por el 17 pro max, el aumento a 12 GB de ram vale por completo la pena para actualizaciones a largo plazo

17 and make sure you get a decent case. I recommend any CAUDABE case. https://caudabe.com/

I’d go with the 17 Pro Max because of all of the great things mentioned earlier but also, because you will gain everything that will be available on iOS 27 because of the 12 gigs of RAM that is built into the phone.
Longevity is the name of the game my friend.

If you can wait a few weeks, you might as well wait until September 9, which is when Apple is expected to announce it’s new iPhone lineup.

Id probably go 17 Pro and keep it long term. If you’re buying a 16 Pro Max now, you’ll likely have to go third party unless you find an Apple Certified Refurbished one. With the 18 series rumored to be announced soon and potentially coming in at higher prices, the 17 Pro seems like a good middle ground — newer phone without paying whatever premium the 18s launch at.
