Apple iPhone 17 vs Apple iPhone 17 Pro Max

The glass-back condition includes the selected Lavender finish. No measured durability is inferred.

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

These named capabilities are listed for the five-core GPU. No benchmark result is inferred.

Published capabilities, not independent performance measurements.

The complete two-module inventory contains main and ultra-wide only. The 2× mode is main-sensor framing, not a dedicated telephoto lens.

The manufacturer names a 2× optical-quality main-sensor mode; it remains separate from native-lens reach.

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

Fusion Main and Fusion Ultra Wide are explicitly the two physical rear cameras.

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.

Advertised nominal diagonal, not actual viewable area.

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.

Separate streamed-video up-to claim.

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

Labelled height in millimetres.

Manufacturer dimensions; not a preference or quality score.

Device mass, not shipping mass; configuration and manufacture can vary.

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

Labelled width; larger is not inherently preferable.

Labelled depth; camera-bump dimensions are not invented.

UK technical and regional model sections agree. A model identity is not a retailer-availability or carrier-support guarantee.

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

The model index explicitly identifies the US model and its lack of a SIM tray. UK battery and mass claims are not relabelled US.

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

Sensor-shift OIS is explicitly attached to Fusion Main.

No source recorded for this side.

Positive system flag is scoped to Fusion Main, not every rear lens.

No source recorded for this side.

Continuous autofocus video is explicitly listed; no focus-speed score is inferred.

Ultra-stabilised video and auto image stabilisation do not establish an optical mechanism.

No source recorded for this side.

Lithium-ion construction is listed without mAh. Playback duration does not establish capacity.

No source recorded for this side.

40 W is the adapter requirement in a charge-time test; it is not published maximum handset input.

No source recorded for this side.

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.

Nominal diagonal, resolution and adaptive maximum are kept together; this is not measured motion quality.

No source recorded for this side.

The manufacturer does not publish RAM capacity in this specification.

No source recorded for this side.

The retained page names iOS 26 but does not promise a future upgrade count or support end date.

No source recorded for this side.

Not verified for this exact model.

Not verified for this exact model.

This is the technical page wording, not a claim that iOS 26 is currently the newest compatible release. The later AI footnote separately mentions iOS 27.

Resolution, rate and mode are kept together.

Expressly named in the exact model specification.

Named support with language/region restrictions, Siri AI iOS 27 English beta and server-use limits; not successor-exclusive software.

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.

Named support in both inventories; not an audio-quality score.

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.

No audio-duration maximum is given in the checked power section.

No source recorded for this side.

Playback and charge setups are distinct manufacturer claims, not mixed-use battery life or measured sustained input.

No source recorded for this side.

Physical control expressly identified; no absence is inferred on another phone.

No source recorded for this side.

The mobile section names N1 and UWB, but does not identify the cellular modem.

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.

Support is named, without a detection-accuracy or rescue guarantee.

No source recorded for this side.

Directly published pixel dimensions.

No source recorded for this side.

The USB-C capability list explicitly names DisplayPort, separate from its USB 2 data limit.

No source recorded for this side.

Expressly named; shared support does not establish a generational gain.

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

The physical rigid single-display model description identifies the form.

No source recorded for this side.

Explicit HDR maximum, not outdoor peak.

No source recorded for this side.

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.

No source recorded for this side.

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

The checked rear recording list does not establish ProRes; omission is not an absolute negative for every external/app workflow.

No source recorded for this side.

Standard rectangle; rounded corners reduce actual viewable area.

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.

No source recorded for this side.

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.

The checked charging inventory does not establish reverse wireless support. USB-C accessory power is different.

Not verified for this exact model.

Support is named; service and connection limitations remain.

No source recorded for this side.

No source recorded for this side.

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

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.

Explicit typical maximum with a distinct measurement basis.

No source recorded for this side.

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

Omission of 8K is not an explicit non-support statement.

Not verified for this exact model.
