NeoTeo's verdict
Which of the two is the better buy
Apple iPhone 17 Pro Max suits buyers who want more screen, storage, and battery: it offers 6.9 inches versus 6.3, up to 2 TB versus 1 TB, and 5,088 mAh versus 4,252 mAh. The iPhone 17 Pro is easier to carry and costs less, weighing 206 g versus 233 g and launching at 1319 € versus 1469 €.
The Pro Max leads in measured performance: its Geekbench 6 results are 3,933 and 10,223, versus 3,781 and 9,553 for the Pro. It also has a 1,320 × 2,868 px display versus 1,206 × 2,622 px. Both share the Apple A19 Pro, 12 GB of RAM, 40 W charging, and 25 W wireless charging.
The iPhone 17 Pro adds reverse charging and offers more video-recording features, including ProRes RAW, Apple Log 2, and spatial video. The Pro Max keeps the same essential connectivity and IP68 resistance; its trade-off is greater size and weight. The choice is between battery and screen area or a lighter phone with a lower launch price.
