Here’s a deep dive into Apple’s boldest Pro smartphone in years, where I answer whether the 17 Pro Max is worth the upgrade in 2025.

- It comes in Cosmic Orange, Deep Blue, and Silver colours
- It gets Ceramic Shield 2 at the front and Ceramic Shield at the back
Well, it’s that time of year when we get a new set of iPhones, and Apple has made 2025 a year when it has truly brought its boldest devices yet.
I will be jumping to the iPhone Air, which is a sneak peek into Apple’s future devices in a few days, and will also be pushing the 17 review soon, where I will cover why it looks like the greatest upgrade ever for the base iPhones.
But, in this review, I will be talking about the iPhone 17 Pro Max in depth, so stick around if you’re someone who’s still confused whether you should upgrade or not to the latest Pro models.
First things first, the iPhone 17 Pro Max price in India has got a bump this year compared to the iPhone 16 Pro Max launch prices.
For comparison, the iPhone 16 Pro and 16 Pro Max prices started at Rs. 119,900 and Rs. 144,900, respectively, at launch. On the other hand, Apple launched the iPhone 17 Pro at Rs. 134,900 and the 17 Pro Max at Rs. 149,900.

The iPhone 17 Pro Max (and 17 Pro) receives a bold redesign we’ve been waiting for years.
Why? Well, the answer is simple: the triple rear camera deco on the Pro models has been the same since the iPhone 11 was released in 2019.
Yes, it got several facelifts, but more or less, it remained the same triple camera setup we have been seeing for over five years.
