iPhone 17 Pro Max Repair

The iPhone 17 Pro Max was announced on September 9th, 2025 alongside the iPhone Air, 17, and 17 Pro. It features a complete redesign compared to the 16 Pro Max, with a large aluminum unibody coupled with a small "Ceramic Shield" glass pane underneath the enlarged camera "plateau." Similar to the last two generations, it has an Action button at the top right edge and the Camera Control button near its bottom right corner. There's also an improved Ceramic Shield 2 glass on the screen that's more scratch-resistant.

Notably, the thermal system has been redesigned to have a vapor chamber to move heat from the new A19 Pro Chip into the aluminum unibody. The screen size remains the same as the previous generation at 6.9 inches, but the 17 Pro Max has better outdoor brightness and anti-reflection. The front camera has improved to be 18MP with a new "Center Stage" design for taking selfies. The rear cameras have all been upgraded to 48 MP Fusion. The optical-quality zoom now supports up to 8x (compared to the 16 Pro Max's 5x).

Unique solely to the iPhone 17 Pro Max is the option for up to 2 TB storage. It's available in Cosmic Orange, Deep Blue, and Silver and starts at $1,199.

You can identify the iPhone 17 Pro Max by the model number printed inside of the USB-C charge port.
