This year I went bigger and brighter - unboxing the iPhone 17 Pro Max in Silver. It’s the largest of the Pro models, and probably the most understated color Apple offers. First impressions? Surprisingly comfortable to hold for such a big device, though I’m still not entirely sure how I feel about that dual-tone finish 🙂
The model I picked up is the 512 GB version, and here’s what it comes with:
→ Display: 6.9-inch Super Retina XDR OLED with ProMotion up to 120 Hz, hitting peak outdoor brightness around 3,000 nits.
→ Build: Silver aluminum frame, matte glass back, IP68 water and dust resistance.
→ Chip & Memory: A19 Pro with 12 GB of RAM for effortless multitasking.
→ Cameras: Triple 48 MP system — Wide, Ultra-wide, and Telephoto with a tetraprism design for up to 8× optical-quality zoom. Front camera is 18 MP with Center Stage.
→ Battery: Around 5,000 mAh with 40W fast charging (50% in about 20 minutes) plus MagSafe and Qi2.2 wireless charging.
→ Connectivity: 5G, Wi-Fi 7, Bluetooth 6, NFC, and faster USB-C on the Pro models.
→ Dimensions & Weight: 163.4 × 78 × 8.75 mm, weighing in at 233 grams.
