Is it worth buying the iPhone 17 Pro Max?

I wouldn't buy it purely on principle. Why overpay when you can get a phone with the same performance for three to four times less?

Got to take it.

You can weigh the Pros and Cons, and then decide whether the phone suits you and if the cost is justified.

**Advantages.** The Pro Max battery lasts up to 39 hours for video playback, solving your main issue. The cameras with 8x optical zoom and new sensors guarantee top-tier photos and videos. The performance of the A19 Pro chip with improved cooling eliminates any lag.

**The main drawbacks are the high price.** Additionally, there is no official service in Russia. Some useful features for Russian operators do not work.

Buying right now only makes sense if you critically need the maximum technology available today and are willing to pay a premium for the status of being an early adopter.

However, it is wiser to wait 2–4 months after the sales launch. By then, the initial hype will have subsided. The first long-term reviews and feedback from real users will appear. On the grey market and from resellers, prices will gradually begin to drop and stabilise.

Well, no one's offering it to you anyway. Go ahead and embarrass yourself in front of the girls with your cheap Android.

Yes, it's very expensive. But I think it's worth it. The battery, the camera—they're in a league of their own. As for the timing of the purchase, I'd suggest waiting a little while. If you really can't bear to wait any longer—go for it, you won't regret it.

I was also considering the "Seventeen" (iPhone 17 Pro Max), but in the end, I went for the iPhone 15 Pro Max. The claimed improvements in the 17 Pro Max are certainly there, but they aren't revolutionary for the average user. Yes, the battery is a bit better, the processor is a bit faster. But in practice, the iPhone 15 Pro Max is incredibly powerful, and now you can get it for much cheaper. Right now is the perfect time to buy an iPhone 15 Pro Max.

Okay, your opinion is very important to us, thank you for sharing.

You made me laugh, you cheap, insecure village poser. Besides an iPhone, what achievements do you actually have? And why do you have such a complex about phones?
I've known men with millions in their accounts who used Redmi or Huaweis, because it's just a phone for making calls.

Absolutely worth it. My husband surprised me for my birthday and gave me an iPhone 17 Pro Max. I'm very pleased. It's truly a great phone. Get it now, you won't regret it!

Oh, let the little man feel important. After all, he's got an iPhone)))
Funny, innit.

No, it's really crap. I regret buying it.
The best one is the 15 overall.

Dear, what's the problem with applying a 146% effective method and sending an SOS about it?!

I agree with you, and another huge downside—the 17 is flimsy as hell.

At the beginning of the year, I bought two iPhones on Ozon. It's much more cost-effective there. Throughout the autumn, I accumulated points (I made a point of searching for things I needed that could be purchased with points, and I ordered a lot from China, as they often give points worth several times the product's value). You can later use points to deduct 25% of the product's price. So, I first bought an iPhone 16 for 56 thousand with points. Then I bought an iPhone 16 Plus for 63 with points. Take a closer look at this option—it's much more advantageous. As for when to buy, I would wait at least until November. And then keep an eye on the dollar exchange rate.

Wait, of course, after the New Year, the prices for the new iPhone should drop, as usual.

I wanted to buy the 16 Pro Max, but the 17 is practically the same, and with the 16 version after the 17 was released, suddenly the photo quality got worse. So I don't need that, I'll get something from Samsung.

Could you please take a look at the iPhone 16 Pro Max?

If it's 13/14 years old, it's worth it. But if it's 15/16, then no.

Choose the 16 Pro or Pro Max, I got it when it was released a year ago, the phone is great, I don't think they differ that much from the 17, but it's much cheaper in price.
Well, actually, it's better to get the 17 when the 18 comes out, or at least closer to the release of the 18)) That's when prices drop the most, but if you want it now, then go for the 16, it looks nicer in my opinion, and it will last a long time too.

To put it briefly, without explanations and so on, I had the same question, and overall, I recommend the iPhone 15 Pro Max—it's the sweet spot in terms of both price and general specs. For example, have you seen how easily the 17 Pro Max scratches? Or have you noticed any particularly impressive changes between these two models? Honestly, as an electronics engineer, I haven't.

But they say the camera is better on the Samsung Ultra 25. Is that true or not? I'm struggling with the choice myself right now.

No, it's not worth it. I use a regular mid-range Android. The important thing is that it does what it needs to do. One should live within their means.

I don't know about the iPhone, but I have the S25 Ultra, and the photos are just incredible, the camera is really awesome.

You go ahead and embarrass yourself with your little fruit slice

How on earth did you manage to get a 15 Pro Max? They've been discontinued for ages. I bought one from the Megafon online shop in May, and it turned out to be a grey import, barely got my money back, they dragged it out for four months. And officially, they're not in shops anymore.

Hello! Please could you tell me where to download all the apps (for shops, banks)?
I'm thinking of buying one and I'm in two minds. I've always used Samsung.

16 Pro or Pro Max – I exchanged 2 phones, on both the screen often goes dark during calls, impossible to use them. Returned both to the shop and got a 15. Asked around friends about the 16, same thing, everyone's struggling, can't make or answer calls.

That's odd, mine works perfectly fine.

Hello! I would tell you, but unfortunately my brother downloaded everything for me. I gave it to him, and he returned it with all the apps already installed. So I don't know...

Well, not everyone's as much of a moron as you, buying things on instalments or on credit

It's a status thing that's not accessible to everyone, and it's not just about the money. Sit there with your Xiaomi for 11,500, you principled one

Is that really what matters in life? For example, I couldn't care less what phone someone has, as long as they're a good person and there's a connection. It doesn't matter what phone, who earns more or less, what flat they have, whether they own a car, etc. Unfortunately, those aren't the values you hold in life.
It's insane, people have truly lost their minds, I'm speechless, just emotions. Yes, there are plenty of dishonest men and women, but it's not for us to judge who's who. We're not Gods. Everyone will answer for themselves, and God doesn't care what iPhone you have, what car, what flat, or how much money.

The iPhone hasn't been a status symbol for ages, every other person has one)))
A status symbol is a Birkin bag, a Bulgari bracelet, a ring with a boulder-sized diamond on your finger.

The 17th is currently priced on hype.
And the 16th hasn't fully dropped yet. Here's the 15th at 65k. Take it, the 16th is 80-90k. Not a chance.
And anyway, the 17th... do you even like it? Such an eyesore, and the body looks cheap, like plastic.

Personally, my advice isn't worth taking. Because there are much better smartphones, for example. The iPhone 15 Pro Max is a very good phone, no different from the 16 and 17. And I'd say it's much more beautiful than the 17, but that's your choice, and the price of the 17 isn't exactly pleasing either. If you're buying to enjoy it calmly, go for the 17. If it's for yourself, for pure pleasure, get an Android—though it depends on your goals. If you need a camera, then the VIVO X200 ULTRA or XIAOMI 15 ULTRA. If you need a powerful processor for demanding games or tasks, the REDMAGIK 10 or IQOO 10 NEO. If you want balance, consider the XIAOMI 12X, SAMSUNG S22, SAMSUNG S25U, or IPHONE 13 PRO MAX, 14 PRO MAX.

If you need an iPhone to impress a girl, then screw that kind of gold-digger. There are Androids more expensive than iPhones, it's just that those brands don't pump as much money into advertising. Top-end Samsungs, Rog phones or Vertu for example

Лично я на Q6 катаю и у меня самсунг 23, думаешь девкам важен какой у меня телефон?

У моего мужа тоже Самсунг s25 ультра , самая лучшая камера в мире считается, мы снимали луну на нее , увеличивает невероятно и качество супер ,видно все катетары Луны

Вообще *** на чём ты катаешь, *** какая у тебя трубка... Главное чтобы чувак реальный был и в штанах всё чётко было.Странно что девушки смотрят на машины и трубки... А если он старый, толстый , а если пустышка в штанишках... Странные тёлки..

Вы чего тут разпетушились голубанчики?

Ебень

Сейчас 16 стоит дороже 17

Я считаю что любой человек,должен осуществлять свои мечты.
Айфон 17 про Макс,это идеальная цена для телефона,я зарабатываю 500 тыс в месяц.(мои траты отразятся на своих покупках.)
