One Month with the iPhone 17 Pro Max
After using Apple's latest iPhone for four weeks, I have some reflections to share. Judging a phone’s quality in just a day or two is premature, so reaching the one-month mark offers a clearer perspective.
The Cosmic Orange iPhone 17 Pro Max remains fresh and engaging. It is both highly capable and enjoyable, showcasing significant improvements in key areas Apple has left unchanged in recent years.
Camera Enhancements
Apple upgraded all iPhone 17 Pro models’ rear cameras to 48MP sensors, while the selfie camera received improvements in megapixels and sensor size. This narrows the gap between iPhone and the latest Android phones.
"Combined with Apple’s already strong photo processing systems, we've wound up with another leap ahead for iPhone photography."
My photos mostly capture London’s green and historic locations, as well as moments enjoying coffee in these spots.
Final Thoughts
The iPhone 17 Pro Max does not feel outdated after a month; rather, it has matured into one of the best iPhones yet, especially due to its camera and usability improvements.
"A phone's success or failure can't be fully decided after just a day or two of use."
If you're interested in more updates about my experience over time, please let me know in the comments.
Author’s summary: After a month with the iPhone 17 Pro Max, its camera upgrades and overall performance stand out, making it one of the most enjoyable iPhones to date.
