How long does the iPhone 17 Pro Max battery last?

The iPhone 17 Pro Max lasts up to 37 hours of video playback, the best battery life of any iPhone ever. You also get up to 33 hours of streamed video. With a 40W adapter, fast-charging takes the phone to 50% in around 20 minutes. Apple's aluminium unibody and built-in vapor chamber help manage heat during sustained use, so the battery holds up even under pressure.

What cameras does the iPhone 17 Pro Max have?

The iPhone 17 Pro Max has a triple 48MP camera system covering 5 optical-quality focal lengths (13mm, 24mm, 48mm, 100mm, and 200mm): Main camera (24mm, f/1.78): macro photography and macro video supported Ultra Wide (13mm, f/2.2) Telephoto (100mm, f/2.8, tetraprism): 8x optical-quality zoom 18MP Center Stage front camera with autofocus and Focus Pixels ProRes RAW, Apple Log 2, and 4K Dolby Vision at up to 120fps Can't make heads or tails from these specs ?

Is the iPhone 17 Pro Max worth it?

The iPhone 17 Pro Max is the most capable iPhone Apple has made. The A19 Pro chip brings up to 40% better sustained performance vs the previous generation, the triple 48MP camera covers 5 optical-quality focal lengths, and the 37-hour battery is the longest ever in an iPhone. Apple Intelligence is built in, with on-device privacy. It's a strong upgrade if you're coming from an iPhone 14 Pro Max or older. Not sure yet? Find the right iPhone for you.

What does Apple Intelligence do on the iPhone 17 Pro Max?

Apple Intelligence is built into the iPhone 17 Pro Max and works across your apps. It helps you write and summarise messages, edit photos, create images, manage notifications smarter, and get more from a context-aware Siri. Privacy is central: data is processed on-device, so no one else can access it, including Apple. It's all powered by the 16-core Neural Engine on the A19 Pro chip.

Is the iPhone 17 Pro Max waterproof?

The iPhone 17 Pro Max is water resistant, not waterproof. It carries an IP68 rating under IEC standard 60529, which means it can handle submersion to 6 metres for up to 30 minutes. The front is protected by Ceramic Shield 2 (3x better scratch resistance than standard glass), while the back uses Ceramic Shield — the first iPhone with Ceramic Shield on both sides. Impressive, though best not to test it beyond those limits.

Every refurbished iPhone 17 Pro Max on Back Market is 100% functional, fully unlocked, and passes an up-to-100-point professional inspection. Differences between condition grades are cosmetic only: Fair: works perfectly, with visible signs of wear Good: works perfectly, with light cosmetic marks Excellent: works perfectly, near-pristine condition Premium: closest to new in appearance

Does buying a refurbished iPhone 17 Pro Max help the environment?

Choosing a refurbished iPhone 17 Pro Max means one fewer new device manufactured, and manufacturing is where most of a smartphone's carbon footprint is generated. Based on Back Market's calculations (ADEME 2022 study), buying refurbished avoids around 77 kg of CO2e and 89% less e-waste per device compared to buying new (manufacturing phase, use-phase excluded). That's the impact of putting an existing device to work instead of triggering all the materials and energy needed to build a new one.

I’m over the moon with my ‘new’ iPhone. This is the 4th refurbished device I’ve had from you and I’ve never been disappointed yet. My previous apps were really easy to transfer from my old iPhone to this one. I couldn’t be more pleased.

The ordering process was so seamless. I can't believe I got an unscathed second hand iPhone 17 pro max 512 GB. I checked the manufacturing date and it was April 2026. First use is July 2026. I got mine July 2026. So almost brand new! The downside is it doesn't come in the original box but does come with original and unused accessory like the C-type cord. All in all, I would take a look at their products again before buying brand new. Cheers!

I think it’s all ok, a few calls I’ve received on the device have got cut off or don’t connect too well, I’m not sure if it’s the device or my network! The device seems good and I would recommend back market to sell old devices and buy reconditioned ones, helps the planet and saves the pennys

Phone itself was absolutely great, however didn’t like the colour so returned. The return process is prehistoric to say the least, no QR code, faulty web pages, unclear instructions, must print your own label, so good luck if you don’t have a printer. Besides one Customer Service rep on Instagram Halle who was absolutely amazing, the rest were not super helpful and just came across patronising or gave misinformation rather than providing solutions. Overall phone seemed refurbished perfectly but weird for a tech resale company to be so behind the status quo when it comes to returns.

The iPhone 17 Pro Max is Apple’s large-screen Pro flagship for 2025. Released in September 2025, it offers a 6.9-inch Super Retina XDR OLED display, the A19 Pro chip, and a triple 48MP Pro Fusion camera system with new pro-grade video tools—all in a durable aluminium unibody with Ceramic Shield front and back.

Key features:

Release date: September 2025 (pre-orders opened 12 September; availability began 19 September).
Display: 6.9-inch Super Retina XDR OLED, 2868×1320 resolution at 460 ppi, ProMotion up to 120Hz, Always‑On, and up to 3000 nits peak outdoor brightness.
Processor: A19 Pro with 6‑core CPU, 6‑core GPU with Neural Accelerators, and a 16‑core Neural Engine.
Main cameras: 48MP Fusion Main (24mm), 48MP Fusion Ultra Wide (13mm, 120°), and 48MP Fusion Telephoto (100mm, 4x optical) with up to 8x optical‑quality reach and digital zoom up to 40x.
Video features: 4K up to 120 fps (Dolby Vision), ProRes (with external recording up to 4K120), ProRes RAW, Apple Log 2, genlock, and Dual Capture.

Who is this for?

The iPhone 17 Pro Max suits creators, mobile videographers, and professionals who want a large 6.9-inch canvas, top-tier performance, and advanced camera/video controls. If you prefer a smaller phone with the same A19 Pro chip and triple 48MP system, the iPhone 17 Pro offers a similar experience in a more compact 6.3-inch body. Gamers and power users will appreciate the 120Hz display and hardware‑accelerated ray tracing, while commuters and travellers benefit from Wi‑Fi 7, Bluetooth 6, and precise dual‑frequency GPS.

Pros & Cons: Pros Cons Large, bright 120Hz OLED (up to 3000 nits) ideal for editing, gaming, and media. Big and heavy form factor; less comfortable for one‑handed use. 48MP triple‑camera with 4x optical telephoto and up to 8x optical‑quality reach; flexible focal lengths. eSIM only; no physical SIM support, which may require carrier eSIM compatibility. Pro video toolkit (ProRes RAW, Log 2, genlock, Dual Capture) for advanced workflows. No expandable storage; consider cloud or external workflows if you shoot a lot of Pro content. Modern connectivity with Wi‑Fi 7, Bluetooth 6, USB‑C (USB 3), and UWB for accessories and data. Advanced camera features have a learning curve; casual users may not need every pro option. Durable build with Ceramic Shield front and back; IP68 protection.
