Who needs a terabyte on an iPhone 17 Pro Max?

Is the iPhone 17 Pro Max comfortable to hold?
It weighs 233 g and measures 16.30 × 7.79 × 0.87 cm: the weight is noticeable over a long session, and the size calls for a suitable pocket. Its chassis is a heat-forged aluminium unibody, which makes it rigid.

Yes, it has the always-on mode: the time and key information stay displayed at very low brightness, without waking the phone. This panel also reaches 3,000 nits in HDR.
Do the three cameras of the iPhone 17 Pro Max have the same resolution?
Yes, all three are 48 MP: the Fusion wide, the ultra wide and the periscope telephoto. This consistency avoids the drop in quality you notice when switching cameras on a phone with unequal sensors.
Does the iPhone 17 Pro Max come with a power adapter?
No: the 20 W USB-C power adapter is sold separately. Without it, fast charging — 50% in 20 minutes — is out of reach. Any sufficiently powerful USB-C charger will do, whether wired or on a MagSafe charger.
What does the Thunderbolt 3 port of the iPhone 17 Pro Max offer?

Is the iPhone 17 Pro Max new and under warranty?
Yes, new equipment, with the invoice serving as the warranty document for 1 year. Keep it: it is the document you will be asked for when making a warranty claim.
