Apple iPhone 17 Pro Max

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.

Maximum adaptive ProMotion refresh rate; not a constant rate or measured motion-quality result.

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

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.

Apple-published outdoor peak, not an independent measurement; HDR peak is 1,600 nits and typical maximum is 1,000 nits.

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

Selected 256 GB UK A3526 configuration. The model-specific support page and model index list 256 GB among the available capacities. This states storage, not RAM or retailer stock.

Not published for this exact model.

Published capabilities, not independent performance measurements.

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

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

No built-in memory-card slot is listed. External USB-C storage for supported recording workflows is a separate capability. · Calculated from cited specifications

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.

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

100/120 fps use the Fusion Main camera; this is distinct from Cinematic mode and does not establish recording quality.

Center Stage front camera. Rear Fusion Main and front Cinematic mode have separate limits.

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 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.

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

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

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

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

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.

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

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. · Calculated from cited specifications

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

Not verified for this exact model.

Apple lists MagSafe and Qi2 wireless charging up to 25W.

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

Apple claim with a separately sold 40W-capable adapter or higher; not a sustained charging rate.

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

MagSafe and Qi2 maximum with compatible charging equipment. Apple's MagSafe test requires a 30W adapter or higher; this is not measured charging speed.

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

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.

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

Not verified for this exact model.

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

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

Manufacturer dimensions; not a preference or quality score.

Apple's controlled-lab claim is up to 6m for 30 minutes under IEC 60529; resistance is not permanent.

A USB 3 cable rated for 10 Gb/s is required; the connector shape alone does not establish this bandwidth.

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.

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.

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

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

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

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.

The UK specification lists nano-SIM plus eSIM and dual-eSIM support.

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.

Not verified for this exact model.

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

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