I have had several issues with this iPhone. First the most irritating is that it constantly drops from WiFi and that’s at multiple locations. It also has difficulty staying connected via Bluetooth so it disconnects when I’m doing my Apple Fitness routine. I also had a problem with sharing location. The phone said I was sharing but nobody could see my location. I had to ask AI how to fix it. I was able to correct it in settings but it was odd that it said I was sharing and not actually sharing. If I had to do it over I would have waited a bit before getting the new phone.
Honestly, it’s the size of this phone. It is Ridonculously large! However, I wanted it for the camera features, so here we are. But you’ll be happy to hear the camera is fantastic. I don’t know of any other phone cameras that I’ve ever used that are this good other than professional cameras, so I’m very impressed by that. In conclusion, my opinion is that this phone quite worth it if you take advantage of the camera features. If you don’t care about the camera, I suggest the now Air version.
I would recommend this to a friend!

Thank you for sharing your detailed thoughts about the phone! We completely understand how the size could feel overwhelming at first, it’s definitely a big adjustment. But it’s great to hear that the camera features are exceeding your expectations and making the experience worthwhile! It sounds like you’ve made a smart choice for your needs, especially if photography is a priority. And for anyone who doesn’t prioritize the camera, your suggestion of the Air version is a fantastic idea!
I have had my phone for about a month. I had the iPhone 13 Pro Max before. I probably have not tapped into all the bells and whistles of the phone but what I love the most is the camera! The pictures are clear and crisp. I am still getting used to the sleep button on the right side of the phone being lower than the 13 Pro Max, so many times I close or shut off my phone unintentionally. My son has fun looking up stuff and teaching about my phone and I appreciate that! I am happy with my purchase
I upgraded from the iPhone 15 Pro Max to the 17 Pro Max in Deep Blue and I’m blown away. The new vapor cooling system really works, my phone stays so much cooler than my old one ever did. Battery life is awesome too, easily lasts me all day and then some. The Deep Blue color looks amazing in person, and overall this feels like the iPhone Apple’s been trying to make for years. Totally worth the upgrade!
