Should you consider this one?
The Pro Max is for people who keep a phone for years and use the camera heavily — the extra battery capacity and the longer telephoto reach are the real reasons to pay more than the base iPhone 17. If you don't shoot a lot of photos or video and don't need the biggest screen, the standard iPhone 17 covers most of the same core experience for less money. Skip it if a smaller, one-handed phone matters more to you than battery life or zoom range.
