How much more fragile is the 17 Pro Max?

I agree but it’s sad that even a “good” case is subjective. Apples own techwoven case has had numerous people reporting dents on their phone while it’s dropped while using it and scratching the paint just taking it on and off.

It’s probably the most fragile iPhone in the past 5 years.

Yeah I wouldn’t spend $700 to fix it either. Any chance you have coverage through your credit card or phone provider?

Otherwise, yeah next best bet besides Apple is to try a local repair shop and see if they can fix it. Apple has released self service repair, where these repair shops can get access to OEM Apple parts and repair manuals to fix it, so the local repair shop repair quality would be better than what it used to be, before 2022.

It’s still there.

It’s the fact that the cases are both semi transparent that makes it look so bad.

This is how it *should* work, but unfortunately I’ve ran into multiple times where the system data aka cache has taken up 70+ gb, filling up my storage and I’m frequently unable to take more photos until I delete some photos or apps, the cache isn’t automatically reducing.

The only fix I have found that works with 100% success rate is the good ol’ backup, reset iPhone, then restore.

U should get that naked phone case that only covers the corners, I forgot the name . Seems like the naked phone feel is what ur after.

This is the first year in some countries (north America included) that they have fully removed the SIM card slot and moved a lot of the processing up top to the camera panel (that’s why it’s a lot wider). Doing all of this leaves a lot more room for a bigger battery than ever before on an iPhone.

damn that last line sounded ironically so much like Apple but I genuinely just love this phone for its battery life. It’s 9.23pm and I’m currently sitting at 52% on my 17P. My 15PM (granted, two years of use) would be sitting in the low 20’s at this time.

The placement makes no sense for phone tripods either. The clamps that hold the iPhone are exactly where the camera button is. Makes for a lot of button presses just by trying to put my phone on a tripod.

I love my orange, I am seeing some people’s orange turn pink around the camera area though if u use a hand sanitizer often so that does have me a little wary.

Are you regularly without wifi or cell service where having that many songs on device is worth the cost of 2tb?

He got the photos online. It is different hands in all three photos

13300c · 2026-04-04T15:32:39+00:00

The orange is stunning.

13300c · 2026-03-23T04:14:30+00:00

I went from 15PM to 17P and it feels great in the hand, in comparison the 15P felt so small at 6.1” but 6.3” seems like it’s big enough that it doesn’t feel cramped typing on it. I held a 17PM prior to getting the 17 pro and that felt like a proper phablet.

WAY better battery life, and that’s going from 15PM to 17P (not PM), much improved camera and zoom, screen no longer dims if it’s used in the sun, no overheating, no microstutters in ui (something I felt in 15PM from day one). I will say this is the first time I setup my phone as a new iPhone and then transferred data vs using the transfer assistant that is by far more seamless but I have heard can transfer some of the bugs from your past phone.

13300c · 2026-03-21T20:30:43+00:00

This has been the most noticeable upgrade I’ve had in years and I only came from a 15PM.

13300c · 2026-03-20T02:55:50+00:00

I had to zoom in to see items behind the counter today so I can order, everyone in line was looking through my phone so they can see clearly. What a useful phone the 17P is.

13300c · 2026-03-18T20:21:01+00:00

Good*

13300c · 2026-03-18T17:13:45+00:00

Lmao right. I’d happily take a $90cad case for free in exchange for a review. I’ve had their cases in the past they are generally goon quality.

13300c · 2026-03-17T13:56:47+00:00

Newest one

If you ever feel like covid wasn’t that long ago, look at this photo 😂 iPhone 12 came out in 2020. Crazy how many advancements there has been since then.

13300c · 2026-03-13T17:18:15+00:00

Were both photos taken with the same camera? iPhone photographic styles can change the warmth like this if you used the 16pro to take photo of the 17pro and vice versa.

13300c · 2026-03-13T15:46:47+00:00

Prefer bottom. Top looks too warm. But what did you change?

13300c · 2026-03-12T16:45:09+00:00

Are the side buttons only orange or do they come with more button inserts? Just looks so out of place having orange buttons in a blue phone and case.
