In his “Paradox in a Box” review of the iPhone 17 Pro/Pro Max, MKBHD calls it a two-sided marvel: you get industry-leading cameras (with clever sensor shifts and pro-level video tricks) and rock-solid performance that handles anything you throw at it. The design hasn’t really changed—think polished steel frame and ceramic shield front—so it’s virtually tank-proof, but also feels a bit too familiar year after year.
On the battery side, the 17 Pro shines with all-day stamina even under heavy use, and Apple’s A-series chip delivers blistering speeds without overheating. It’s by far one of the best “Pro” phones you can buy, though the real question is whether these incremental gains justify the upgrade (or the Pro Max’s price tag).
