Apple iPhone Duo vs Apple iPhone 17 Pro Max

Manufacturer crop-mode claim; not a separate lens.

Apple's sensor-derived optical-quality mode is not a separate native 8x lens.

Apple publishes 460 ppi directly for this model; no rounded-diagonal calculation is substituted.

The existing capability model counts RAW stills, professional codecs, log capture and external production tools. Apple does not list these four workflows in the complete Duo photo/video specifications.

Four defined classes: RAW stills (ProRAW), professional video codecs (ProRes/ProRes RAW), log capture (Apple Log 2), and external timing (Genlock). Compatible apps and third-party hardware/software may be required. This calculated inventory is not a camera-quality result.

Apple's model-identification page explicitly lists three rear cameras: Fusion Main, Fusion Ultra Wide and Fusion Telephoto. The 2× and 8× crop modes are not extra modules.

Inner display when open; outer display is 5.4 inches.

Nominal diagonal. Apple UK sources disagree on the standard-rectangle measurement (6.86 versus 6.85 inches); actual viewable area is smaller. See the separate rectangular-diagonal evidence.

Manufacturer dimensions; not a preference or quality score.

Exact UK specification. Weight can differ by configuration; no relative US weight is inferred here.

Dual eSIM (two active eSIMs); no physical SIM slot; 5G (sub-6 GHz). Carrier eSIM support needs confirming with your network.

The comparison retains the UK configuration when the retailer market changes. A model specification does not establish stock or support from a particular network.

A different regional model. US weight and battery claims are not substituted into the UK comparison; domestic US listing availability remains a retailer check.

No source recorded for this side.

Main camera only; the telephoto and ultrawide have different apertures.

Sensor-shift OIS is stated for the 48 MP Fusion Main (including its 2× mode); the Ultra Wide lists no OIS.

No source recorded for this side.

Rear-camera Cinematic mode. Ordinary 4K and front-camera recording are separate modes.

Apple UK local-video claim; inner display. The 44-hour outer-display claim is a different mode. Different mode from the 31-hour inner-display claim. Published per display. Neither figure is a like-for-like match for a single-screen phone's claim, so it is not ranked against one.

Manufacturer up-to local-video claim, not independently measured mixed-use endurance. Apple's playback method differs from Samsung's.

No source recorded for this side.

The checked specification lists Camera Control exposure, depth, zoom, cameras, styles and tone; it does not establish the full aperture/shutter/white-balance/histogram workflow listed for iPhone 18 Pro.

No source recorded for this side.

Digital video zoom; not optical lens reach or a claim about image quality.

Inner 430 ppi, cover 460 ppi; ProMotion adaptive refresh on both displays.

Checked 13 September 2026: Apple lists iOS 27 for release on 14 September. Siri AI starts in English beta on supported devices, with regional restrictions and daily limits for some server features. It is not an iPhone 18-exclusive capability or a promise of every feature in every language.

Apple says support arrives later this year on either display, so it may not be available at launch.

Named in the rear and front recording specifications. The checked material does not establish the newer music-isolation feature or a measured audio-quality result.

Apple does not publish battery capacity in mAh. Up to 50% in around 20 minutes with a separately sold 60 W-capable or higher USB-C adapter; MagSafe and Qi2 up to 25 W. Apple claims, not independent tests.

No source recorded for this side.

Listed in the UK Mobile and Wireless section for model A3720.

The checked specification does not identify the cellular modem. The Apple N1 wireless networking chip is a separate component.

No source recorded for this side.

The checked A19 Pro specification and launch article do not state the process node. A specification for another A19 variant is not substituted.

No source recorded for this side.

The checked specification lists Cinematic recording but does not establish the newer ordinary-video conversion feature. Editing footage already recorded in Cinematic mode is a separate capability.

No source recorded for this side.

Materials and coating names do not establish comparative drop or scratch resistance.

No source recorded for this side.

Simultaneous front and rear capture. This is separate from ordinary single-camera 4K recording.

No source recorded for this side.

The checked specification names Dynamic Island without a maximum count of simultaneous activities. No absence of an activity feature is inferred.

Derived from Apple's exhaustive connector specification, which lists USB-C and no 3.5mm connector.

No source recorded for this side.

MagSafe charging, magnet array and alignment magnet are expressly listed. Generic Qi charging on another product does not by itself prove MagSafe support there.

Apple does not publish RAM capacity.

Apple's specification does not identify the Styles 3 feature set listed for iPhone 18 Pro. No exclusive software feature is inferred.

Requires external recording; not a claim that every lens or the front camera supports this rate.

The exact UK specification separately lists Qi2 wireless charging up to 25 W. This is a protocol-specific published maximum with compatible equipment, not a measured or sustained charging rate.

No source recorded for this side.

Apple UK support and model identification state 6.86 inches; the UK launch article states 6.85 inches. The nominal 6.9-inch size remains separate. This unresolved difference is excluded from numeric comparisons.

This named feature is not established by the checked iPhone 17 Pro recording specification. Its absence from that page is not proof that all reference-image workflows are impossible.

Not named in the checked iPhone 17 Pro specification. This does not establish that all subject tracking is absent.

Inner display. Published per display. Neither figure is a like-for-like match for a single-screen phone's claim, so it is not ranked against one.

Apple UK claim; not a mixed-use endurance measurement.

No source recorded for this side.

Apple's published construction. The cited sustained-performance claim is not an independent measurement and does not establish superiority over another cooling design.

No source recorded for this side.

The checked recording list does not state a time-lapse resolution. Ordinary 4K recording does not prove 4K time-lapse.

Apple typical-use claim based on equal use of the inner and outer displays; distinct from video playback and not a cross-brand endurance test.

The checked UK specification publishes local and streamed video playback, not a comparable mixed-use hours claim.

8K recording is not mentioned.

Networking chip identity; not the cellular modem or a measured throughput result.

No source recorded for this side.

UWB is Apple's second-generation Ultra Wideband chip. The exact UK source explicitly lists these capabilities. Wi-Fi 7 and Ultra Wideband remain subject to regional availability; compatible equipment, provider and service conditions apply. This is not measured throughput or a new-generation-only advantage.
