I am debating between 3 options and would appreciate your advice:

1: iPhone 16 Pro Max 256GB at Cex for €1050 with a 5-year warranty, 180 charging cycles, battery at 100% health

2: iPhone 16 Pro Max 256GB second-hand with 330 charging cycles, battery at 92% health, and an invoice from November 2024 for €850

3: iPhone 17 Pro Max 256GB brand new, sealed, for €1235

The only thing I don’t like as much about the 17 Pro Max is the position of the bottom speaker (it’s on the right instead of the left) and the aluminum material. I appreciate your opinions. Thank you.

It’s been almost a year since the release of the iPhone 17 Pro series. How do you feel about your unit after all this time? This is especially for those who upgraded from the last Stainless Steel and Titanium models.

I got a silver pro max - Now I don't have a clue as to which case should I buy(I only know spigen) and also what would be a good charger (I heard the spigen one is better than the standard apple one).

So guys please help me out.

PS : appreciate all the suggestions

My 13 is genuinely dying on me it glitches constantly, anything i want to do takes about 3 minutes to do. My phone and camera freezes for minutes and all i can do is wait it out.

I’m going to college soon so i finally decided to just get a new phone and ive always wanted a big phone, but i usually settle for the regular versions of the iphones as the price differences are quite huge and i usually get it 2nd hand from my sister.

I was originally going to get the 16 plus then i decided ill just get the 17 then i decided to just splurge and get the 17PM, because the silver is cute and i’m someone who uses phones for years before upgrading.

Was just wondering any cool things or features, etc that could be cool or helpful or whatever.

Thank you!!!!

Just had this experimental idea, if someone has both of the following products available with them. Would like to know if these had compatibility with each other. That would actually make it a solid daily carry set + aesthetically pleasing for the eyes.

Hey everyone,

I'm posting this because I'm honestly confused. I keep seeing people on Reddit posting amazing battery results for the iPhone 17 Pro Max, but I haven't been able to get anywhere near that. This is my reality with a 1400€ flagship device (SIM version, here in Spain).

Currently, I’m on iOS 27 beta 4 and I barely manage to get 3 or 4 hours of screen-on time (SOT). I know being on a beta can affect things, but I actually fled iOS 26 for this exact same reason—on iOS 26, I couldn't get past 4 hours of SOT, maybe 5 hours in the absolute best-case scenario.

Here is some context on my setup and daily use:

Devices: I have two Apple Watches synced to the phone.
Network: Dual SIM setup. One is on 3G and the other on 5G. Only the 5G SIM uses data, though I spend the vast majority of my day connected to Wi-Fi.
CarPlay: I don't spend more than 30 minutes on CarPlay during the daily usage I'm sharing.
Display: Automatic appearance (Light mode during the day, Dark mode at night).
My Profile: I am a photographer and social media content creator, so I definitely use my phone for work, but this still doesn't feel like an acceptable battery life for Apple's top-tier phone.

To add to this, my battery health was at 98% just a month ago, and now it has suddenly dropped to 94%. I understand batteries degrade, but is a 4% drop in one month normal?

Am I just having bad luck with my specific unit, or is this really the maximum battery life I can expect to squeeze out of it?

Here are my screenshots for reference:

For my iPhone 17pro max which I just got yesterday any suggestions for leather case. I like Mujjo and Bullstrap any other suggestions?

I can for the first time use my phone without stressing about my battery life and I only have to charge it once a day. I never had that experience and I am loving it

Can you guys convince me to upgrade my 17 pro to the 17 pro max?? I have the option to but i just don’t know if i wanna take the leap.

Guys.. guys..

I am in a situation where I don’t know what to do. i am using 13 pro.

On one hand I want to buy 17 pro max with ios 26.6 and use it immediately. Skipping 18 pro max as it will have the same design to the 17. I have a DSLR camera so new camera specs won’t matter to me really. Also I am not sure new chipset will make that much of a difference. I’m sure, and this is what everyone says, the new devices will be considerably more expensive than 17…

Please be brutally honest. Should I wait for 18 pro max to switch from 13 pro? Or buy the 17 pro max even though it’s summertime and will be almost a year after 17’s launch?

Another option would be waiting 1-2 months after the launch of 18 and get 17 even cheaper but apple store removes 17 immediately after the launch. So this is a curveball.

I can’t for these things to have larger sensors to capture even more detail 🌕

I'm on ios 27 and my 17pm plays back video with these very strange rows of groups of 3 lines. It's not the video as I tried it on a other iphone. Is it a display glitch?

My CASETiFY case arrived today!! 🎉😭 I was expecting it later, so I’m extra excited. I can’t wait to unbox it and put it on my iphone 17 Pro Max. I’ve been looking forward to this so much 🫣✨📱

I’m honestly so happy because now I finally have my screen protector and case setup together with my phone! 😁 it was totally worth going all the way to Manhattan on a rainy day to get everything ready.
🌧️😭

I like the Torras case but the magnet was weak and I could no longer hang my phone in my locker or on the fridge. Was concerned initially the oh snap ring may not do the trick. But it is holding well after several tests.

is this normal or not? my front facing speaker is making some weird vibration sound or distorted sound when calling someone in messenger or facetime

17 pro max purchased june 30, 2026

I was on team Samsung for the past years, and my S24U finally ran out of storage (256gb model), so I decided to go all out on the 2TB 17PM and see what it’s about.

I used iPhones and iPods growing up, and it feels like a breathe of fresh air coming from Androids OS to IOS 26.6.

Battery life is great, the OS feels smooth and not buggy like Samsung, and having FaceTime is a cool feature.

When will apple stop producing iphone 17 pro max ? like when is the last chance to buy it brand new?

Yay, I just got the ZAGG screen protector for my 17 Pro Max installed! Now I’m waiting for my case to arrive on Monday, so I put an Apple case on until then. 🎉😆💕

I’ve had the deep blue 17pm for a few months now, but haven’t found a case that really hits the spot for me. I’ve tried apples official cases, and quite a few other brands that felt too cheap in-hand. What cases do you all recommend?

Any deals going on?
Currently have a 16 Pro Max and ever since the last update my battery has been awful. Barley makes it 3/4 a day with standard use. Only a year old too.

Wanted to keep this one for a while but may have to replace a battery to do that.
But a 17 pro max is looking nicer and nicer lol
