iPhone 17 Pro Max Iphone 17 pro max gets mistaken for previous gen iphone

[MatthewUT44]

First world problems I know. But a few people at work mistake my 17 PM for a previous gen iPhone. They thought I downgraded from my 15 pro max. It’s a little frustrating at this point. Either they aren’t technically savvy or the pro max doesn’t look premium

Uhm who cares about what others think?

Depending on the case you have, it'll appear as a 16 pro model. Sadly it'll feel that way, too. Once used to it the only noticeable different will be in the camera app, zooming. Should have gotten the Air if you wanted a new feel/look.

Return it and quit your job so no one else can shame you about your boring phone.

1. Print out "iPhone 17 Pro Max" in large letters on an Avery mailing label and slap it on the back of your new phone.
2. Leave phone on desk with back side facing coworkers.
