Our take on the Apple iPhone 17 Pro Max

The iPhone 17 Pro Max is Apple's largest flagship, with a 6.9-inch OLED display, the A19 Pro chip and an all-48MP rear camera system with 8x optical-quality zoom. It moves to a heat-forged aluminum unibody with Ceramic Shield on both sides and adds vapor cooling for better sustained performance. Apple rates battery life at up to 39 hours of video playback, with 50% charge in about 20 minutes. At $999.97 at Walmart as of November 4, 2026, the 256GB model sits at the bottom of its recent range, with four stores listing it new.
