Hard to see things on this screen if there is any ambient light. Standard type size is very small so altho this screen is bigger than my Iphone 21, it is much harder to read or see anything. I was better off before.
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

Hi there! We completely understand how frustrating it can be to upgrade to a bigger phone and feel like the display isn’t as comfortable or easy to read as you expected. Larger screens can take a little getting used to, and sometimes the default settings don’t match what feels right for your eyes.
We'd love to help you improve your experience with your new iPhone. Please follow the following steps:
-Display Zoom: This makes the entire interface scale up — not just the font. Settings → Display & Brightness → Display Zoom → Larger Text / Zoomed -Increase text size: Settings → Accessibility → Display & Text Size → Larger Text -Bold Text: Same menu as above. Turning on Bold Text improves readability dramatically on bright screens. -Increase screen brightness: Settings → Display & Brightness → turn off Auto‑Brightness Then manually raise brightness. -Reduce transparency & increase contrast: Settings → Accessibility → Display & Text Size → Increase Contrast → Reduce Transparency → Differentiate Without Color.
We recommend checking out the iPhone User Guide: https://support.apple.com/guide/iphone/welcome/ios It’s a helpful resource with clear explanations of new features, tips for customizing your settings, and practical advice to improve battery life and overall performance. We hope this makes your iPhone easier and more enjoyable to use.

Hi Dalton, thanks for your feedback. We’re sorry to hear your iPhone 17 Pro Max has been slow and freezing—that’s not the experience we want for you. If the issue continues, please try restarting the device, checking for the latest iOS update, and making sure you have enough available storage. If the lag happens while using data, resetting network settings (Settings > General > Transfer or Reset iPhone > Reset > Reset Network Settings) can also help. If problems persist, we recommend reaching out to Apple Support or visiting an Apple or AT&T store so they can run diagnostics and assist further. We appreciate you sharing your experience.
I bought the iPhone 17 Pro Max and it crashed not long after I started using it, which is unacceptable for a brand-new, expensive phone. Beyond the camera improvements, it doesn’t feel any different from previous models. Performance and features are mostly the same, making the upgrade feel unnecessary. Overall, it’s overpriced for what it offers and disappointing considering Apple’s reputation.
I would recommend this to a friend!
