Other iPhone 17 Pro vs. Pro Max - Which One Are You Picking?

[Djones96]

Hey everyone,

With the iPhone 17 series dropping soon, I’m torn between the iPhone 17 Pro and the Pro Max, and I’d love to hear your thoughts!
I’m a heavy user, so the Pro Max’s battery is tempting, but is the size trade-off worth it? What’s your take on battery life vs. portability? I’m coming from a 16 pro max and would like a smaller phone for one hand usability, but am concerned that I may miss the battery life and screen size of the max.

What is everyone going for this year?

For me neither one. I’m going with the iPhone 17 Air if it’s released like rumors say.


Why because the screen will be close in size to the larger Max size iPhone. It will be a lot lighter and thinner. I thought about going to the regular iPhone (same size as the Pro) but I like the larger screen.

Trade off will be camera. Clearly you can’t put a huge camera bump onto a thin phone.

I don’t take that many pictures. Who knows this might be an excuse for me to buy a DSLR.


Also battery life because thinner phone means less space for a battery.

I’m coming from a 14 Pro Max so I’m probably not giving up that much in the battery life department. If you’re coming from a 16 Pro Max, then you have to ask yourself. Do I need this much battery?

17 Pro. My 16 PM is too big and heavy.
