Clunky, heavy, little improvement over 16 pro max. Don’t waste your money.

New iPhone 17 Pro Max is not much of an improvement over my iPhone 14 Pro Max. I am beginning to think Apple iPhone model updates are more hype than anything. It is a good phone but Apple isn't really making any changes that the normal user will notice. They really really need to step up with more innovation to excite me to upgrade again. This iPhone will likely be kept until it stops working.
