Buying decision

Should you buy it?

Buy the iPhone 17 Pro Max only at a clear discount from a carrier or refurb seller. Apple no longer sells it new, and the iPhone 18 Pro Max is $1,299 (Apple, Oct 8, 2026). It still lasted 17 h 54 min in one battery test, more than four hours longer than the Galaxy S26 Plus, and has an A19 Pro and a 4x 48MP telephoto. Skip it near its old $1,199 price or if 233 g feels heavy, since the 18 Pro Max adds about six hours of video playback (Apple claim).

Best for

iPhone users who want a huge screen and two-day battery and can find it at a clear discount

Not for
