Camera – The camera is one of the first things I noticed. The difference in sharpness, color, and low-light shots compared to my older iPhone is huge. The triple 48-megapixel setup captures incredibly detailed photos with realistic tones, and videos look crisp and smooth. Whether I’m taking quick everyday pictures or trying to be a bit more creative, the results have been consistently impressive.
Battery and Performance – The battery life has honestly surprised me. It easily lasts me a full day, and sometimes well into the next without needing a charge. The new A19 Pro chip makes everything feel faster and smoother — from multitasking to gaming — with no lag or overheating. It just runs effortlessly, no matter what I’m doing.

A surprising upgrade

Coming from the iPhone 15 Pro Max, I wasn’t expecting much of an upgrade. This phone surprised me. Not only is it more stable (essentially no stuttering), but the battery life is better than advertised. No matter how much I use my phone it lasts the entire day. The color is controversial but I love the orange. The screen is bigger (noticeably) than my 15 Pro Max and the camera control is actually more useful than I expected. Overall this is a phenomenal package by apple that doesn’t add too many new features, but polished the experience in ways that were much needed

I recently purchased the iPhone 17 Pro Max from Best Buy, and the overall experience has been excellent—from both the device itself and the in-store service.
The performance is outstanding. Everything feels incredibly smooth and fast, whether I’m multitasking, streaming, gaming, or using the camera. The large display is bright, sharp, and immersive, making videos and photos look amazing. Battery life easily lasts all day with heavy use, which is a big plus for daily productivity and entertainment.
The build quality feels premium, and the phone is comfortable to use despite the larger size. Camera performance is impressive, especially in low-light conditions, producing clear and detailed photos and videos.
My Best Buy in-store experience was smooth and efficient. The staff was helpful, knowledgeable, and made the activation process easy. I appreciated being able to see and compare devices in person before purchasing.
Overall, the iPhone 17 Pro Max delivers top-tier performance and reliability, and Best Buy made the purchase process simple and convenient. I would confidently recommend both the phone and Best Buy to anyone looking for a premium smartphone upgrade.

I love the new iPhone 17 Pro Max and how it feels and operates. The way it is build it feels solid. Apple really made
a good phone this year and I hope to keep this phone for a
while. Some thought went into this phone at apple lab. I tried Android S25 but could truly could not enjoy it and do all the things I wanted to do that I could not with iPhone 17 Pro max. I have so much money invested in apple.

iPhones are great and I have had an iPhone for about 10 years or so. What I was looking for was a good camera on
the phone and iPhone 17 delivered it. The zoom on this camera is very good compared to my iPhone 14. My shot of the Super moon was very good. No need to lug my big camera anymore on my travels. iPhone 17 is all I need now.

The iPhone 17 Pro Plus has impressed me on every level — it’s fast, intuitive, beautifully designed, and truly feels like a creative powerhouse in my hands. The camera captures rich, true-to-life detail (even in low light), the battery lasts comfortably through a full day of work and travel, and the upgraded display and audio make content creation, calls, and presentations feel seamless and elevated. More than a phone, it’s become my go-to productivity tool — keeping me connected, creative, and organized with zero friction. A meaningful upgrade for leaders, creators, and anyone who values innovation with purpose.

Back to iPhone. Traded in my Pixel 9 pro for the iPhone 17 Pro Max! Best Buy and Verizon gave me a great value for my trade in. Spent the time with me moving from android to iOS. Got a great deal/value in service. Phone battery has been great with no operating issues at this time. Camera is great. The apple call screening is a wonderful and well done addition. No stuttering from the display with video or games that are played. I will update if anything changes.

The iPhone 17 Pro Max feels very premium to use. The camera quality is outstanding with sharp details and natural color tones, especially in low light. The battery lasts all day easily, and the performance is extremely fast with no lag. The display is bright and smooth. Overall, this phone has exceeded my expectations and I’m very happy with it.

This phone is amazing! I love the color cosmic orange. It’s the reason why I upgraded my old iPhone. Better enhanced camera, super long battery life, not too big and bulky. I just love it!

This is the best iPhone yet. I have upgraded from the 15 Pro Max. While the improvements are minor, the new camera button, battery life and 8x camera zoom increase the usage and flexibility of the phone. Downgrading from a Titanium frame back to the original Aluminum frame does help with the heat dissipation from the faster processor and the new vapor cooling chamber helps keep the phone very cool. The downside is that the Anodized Aluminum OS much easier to scratch so keep a case on it.

The iPhone 17 Pro Max is absolutely incredible. From the moment I started using it, everything felt fast, smooth, and premium. The display is stunning with vibrant colors and excellent brightness, making videos and everyday use a pleasure. Performance is flawless — apps open instantly and multitasking is effortless.

I really like this new phone. I updated from the 15 pro max so there's not a lot to the day to day speed wise. The big change is the battery life. Wow! i could go 2 1/2 days without charging if did my normal day to day things. I like the new design and i understand why everything was done the way it is. i also notice the extra brightness outside with 3000 nits, very bright. i don't ever go without a case and screen protector so the while scratch gate thing i dont worry about
