iPhone 17 Pro vs iPhone 17 Pro Max: Which should you watch, the iPhone 17 Pro or the iPhone 17 Pro Max? Continue reading for more details.At Apple’s eagerly awaited display on September 9, the iPhone 17 Pro versions will be revealed. Given that Apple has previously changed features between the larger Pro Max versions and the standard-sized Pro, it makes sense that many users frequently become confused between the two. The top-end camera features of the Pro Max have occasionally been absent from the ordinary Pro, but in previous years—like the iPhone 16 Pro series—both models shared these features. Let us examine the potential changes between the iPhone 17 Pro and iPhone 17 Pro Max at launch, based on current leaks and reports.
Difference in size
The size difference between the Pro and Pro Max is obvious. While the iPhone Pro Max may keep its 6.9-inch screen, like the iPhone 16 Pro Max, which is also probably OLED, the iPhone 17 Pro is expected to have a 6.3-inch OLED display. The 17 Pro is the superior option for people who want smaller phones because it will have a much smaller display and overall footprint.
Variations in batteries
It is expected that the Pro Max will hold a larger battery because of the size difference. In line with reports, the iPhone 17 Pro Max may have a battery cell with a capacity of 5,000 mAh, which would be a boost over the 4,676 mAh unit seen in the iPhone 16 Pro Max. In contrast, the normal iPhone 17 Pro may include a battery that has a capacity of 3,700 mAh to 4,000 mAh.
Cameras
In terms of optics, the two models can be very similar. It is expected that the iPhone 17 Pro will have a 48-megapixel primary sensor in addition to a 48-megapixel ultra-wide-angle lens. It is possible that the telephoto camera will be improved to match the capabilities of top Android flagships.
As per reports, Apple might employ a higher-resolution sensor that has a focal length of between 3.5x and 3.7x, allowing for an 8x zoom. This information is yet unknown, though. Crucially, there are no signs that these enhancements will only be available on the Pro Max, so users of the smaller model might not have to give up camera quality.
Pricing
In India, the 128GB edition of the iPhone 16 Pro presently retails for ₹1,19,900, while the 16 Pro Max starts at ₹1,44,900. Naturally, the iPhone 17 series will also have a different price. It is still unclear if Apple would increase the iPhone 17 Pro’s normal storage to 256GB, mirroring the Pro Max, and if prices will increase. There are conflicting stories regarding a possible $50 hike.
