One Month with the iPhone 17 Pro Max
After using Apple's latest iPhone for four weeks, I have developed a clearer perspective on its performance. Judging a phone after only a day or two is often premature. Now, having spent an extended period with the Cosmic Orange iPhone 17 Pro Max, it’s time to evaluate its strengths and shortcomings.

The iPhone 17 Pro Max remains highly capable and enjoyable, not showing any signs of wearout in its appeal. The device features significant improvements in key areas that have seen little change in recent years, delivering a more refined experience.
- Enhanced camera system with 48MP high-resolution sensors on all rear cameras.
- Upgraded selfie camera with increased megapixels and a larger sensor.
- Superior photo processing that keeps it competitive with the latest Android phones.

Apple's decision to equip all iPhone 17 Pro models with 48MP sensors and enhance selfie camera capabilities has closed the gap with top-tier Android devices. The advancements result in notable leaps forward in iPhone photography quality.

Most of my photos capture London's green and historic settings along with moments at local coffee spots, showcasing the camera’s strength in diverse environments.
