Our take

The Apple iPhone 17 Pro Max 512GB in Deep Blue is the pick for buyers who want the biggest screen, the longest battery life and the most headroom Apple offers. The 6.9-inch ProMotion display is superb for video, gaming and editing, the A19 Pro chip sustains heavy workloads without throttling, and the 48MP camera system produces outstanding stills and video. Battery life is genuinely the best of any iPhone to date, comfortably stretching into a second day for lighter users. It is big and expensive, but if you want the ultimate iPhone, this is it.
