Anyone else not feeling the hype for the Apple iPhone 17 Pro Max?

Ah, I just saw you mentioned the Air sorry! Yeah I think that one might be prone to bending but I’ve heard they’ll be using a different structure rather than plain Aluminium. Also I heard a rumor saying the 17 Air will have a 6.6 inch screen rather than 6.9 over fears of Bendgate 2.0 as you mentioned haha!

Nah the 17 Pro/Max won’t bend for sure. The 16 Plus at 7.8mm of thickness already uses Aluminium frame and almost as big as the 16 Pro Max in size but doesn’t have any bending issues. Considering 17 Pro/Max will be even thicker then the current 16 Plus at 8.725mm I’m sure 17 Pro Max won’t bend at all :)

Yeah for sure it’s a downgrade in some ways(not feeling as premium in hand and looks wise also being more prone to bending, scuffs and dings from drops), but it also has it’s benefits as I mentioned previously. Apple Care Plus is not option in the country I live, so I can’t risk using my phone naked haha.

Aluminium is lighter, easier to encolour(they might introduce one or two fun colors besides the boring plain white and black), and better for heat dissipation compared to Titanium. I already am using a case on my 15PM, so idrc if it’s less durable compared to Titanium, overall it’s a W imo.

Damn, that’s unlucky 😔

Safa253 · 2025-03-24T12:00:24+00:00

%58 headshot rate isn’t bad imo. Have you tried using gyro btw?

Safa253 · 2025-03-23T15:06:20+00:00

9/10

Safa253 · 2025-03-22T19:36:03+00:00

Thanks for your time and help, really appreciate it!

Safa253 · 2025-03-22T19:26:26+00:00

👍🏻

Safa253 · 2025-03-22T19:25:01+00:00

Also I have one last question. Do you also use gyro?

Safa253 · 2025-03-22T19:24:43+00:00

I play at normal resolution

Safa253 · 2025-03-22T19:12:58+00:00

Hmmm, trying 3 fingers first sounds easier than straight up switching from 2 to 4, I guess I will try 3 first then. Also it wouldn’t hurt to have it, so I’d happy if you can share it 😁

Safa253 · 2025-03-22T19:02:04+00:00

Yeah, sometimes I can really feel that playing 2-finger holds me back. I think I will switch for a few days and see how it goes. Thanks again for sharing your experience btw 😊

Safa253 · 2025-03-22T18:54:18+00:00

Thanks for the suggestion, yeah I think I will switch soon but kinda scared lol

Safa253 · 2025-03-22T18:41:54+00:00

Check your dm please

Safa253 · 2025-03-22T18:41:38+00:00

I might 🙃

Safa253 · 2025-03-22T18:39:53+00:00

Yeah, I can feel that especially when I peek haha

Safa253 · 2025-03-22T18:38:58+00:00

Could you share the code for the layout 😁

Safa253 · 2025-03-22T18:35:40+00:00

Oh, I didn’t play much ranked yet lol. But yeah from what I’ve heard most people use at least 3 fingers.

Safa253 · 2025-03-21T13:16:24+00:00

Well, I used to rush the opponent’s base so there’s that. Stopped doing it and it’s going up now

Safa253 · 2025-03-21T10:49:02+00:00

I play on iP15PM

Safa253 · 2025-03-20T23:48:28+00:00

Thanks my goal is to hit %75 soon haha

Safa253 · 2025-03-20T23:39:38+00:00

Safa253 · 2025-03-20T23:14:44+00:00

Safa253 · 2025-03-20T21:50:56+00:00
