Overall the improvements are nice. However, some of the upgrades are annoying. When trying to turn volume up I keep hitting the top button. The top button isn’t necessarily. It’s nice that the camera button is easier to reach, but it’s accidentally hit often.
I love the large, bright screen on the iPhone 17 Pro Max. The UI is snappy and the battery life is outstanding, lasting all day. If you've been looking to upgrade an older iPhone, this release cycle offers a high-quality experience that will last many years.
