Among the new iPhone 17 Pro Max, the early users are able to see some of its practical improvements over its previous variant. BHPian mobike008 posted the first impressions after two long days of using it.
The phone was bought at an Apple Store in Portland during a weekend shopping tour for electronics. The in-store pick-up process still managed to be done quickly even with lots of people around, which reflects on the company’s efficient method of giving out devices.
It was very easy and smooth to switch over from the iPhone 16 Pro Max. Mobike008 stated that the transfer of all personal data and settings took less than ten minutes, thus proving Apple’s fast setup system again.
Key Observations from First Use:
Camera Upgrade: The new telephoto zoom improves the clarity of pictures greatly, a big step forward if compared to the previous model.
Battery Performance: Battery life demonstrates noticeable advancements over the iPhone 16 Pro Max. The first tests conducted were followed by discharging the battery down to 90% so as to monitor battery stability over time.
Design Changes: The iPhone 17 Pro Max is presented in a completely new form, thus changing the appearance and tactile feel considerably.
Color Options: The orange one is the most attractive among all colors and even the classical blue and silver seemed dull. The bright color really makes the phone very easy to spot.
Video Capture: The camera can record from two angles at the same time which is a very creative way of capturing video.
Data Transfer: The transfer of the whole apps, photos, and settings was done in no time, which added to Apple’s reputation for hassle-free device transitions.
Mobike008 pinpointed the delight that one feels when unboxing a new Apple product and called the whole thing “soothing,” the design, and color giving out the signal of the latest model at once. Things like a clear orange cover were pointed out as accessories that go well with the phone’s unique color.
The iPhone 17 Pro Max seems to be a bit more powerful than ever from the hardware and user experience point of view and the fact that it is a good choice for the previous iPhone owners to switch to it. The users will be very curious to find out the device’s battery and camera performance in the next few months.
