iPhone 17 Pro Max debuts a heat-forged aluminium unibody that boosts durability, thermal efficiency and battery capacity. A laser-welded vapour chamber pulls heat from the A19 Pro for higher, longer sustained performance. The Pro Max camera system stretches to an iPhone-longest 200 mm with next-gen tetraprism optics, a 56% larger sensor and a 16× optical-quality zoom range. With ProRes RAW, Apple Log 2, genlock/time code and iOS 26 with Apple Intelligence, this is a pocket-sized production rig — now with the best battery life ever on iPhone.
