Introduction and Features
Apple introduces the iPhone 17 Pro and its bigger sibling, the iPhone 17 Pro Max — the most powerful smartphones Apple has ever created. In fact, at the heart of this generation is a heat-forged aluminum unibody enclosure, crafted to maximize performance, battery life, and durability.
Revolutionary Design Features That Set iphone 17 pro max Apart
Unibody Enclosure
A single block of aluminum alloy forms the enclosure, making the iPhone remarkably lightweight yet strong. Moreover, the material’s exceptional thermal conductivity keeps performance high, even under heavy workloads.

Inside, a vapor chamber system uses deionized water to rapidly move heat away from the A19 Pro chip. As a result, it delivers higher sustained performance with greater efficiency.
Stronger Protection with Ceramic Shield 2
The back is protected by Ceramic Shield, making the iPhone 4× more resistant to cracks. In addition, the all-new Ceramic Shield 2 on the front offers 3× better scratch resistance for lasting durability.
Immersive Pro Display Experience
Choose from a 6.3-inch or 6.9-inch Super Retina XDR display — brighter than ever, with ProMotion up to 120Hz and advanced anti-reflective coating for stunning clarity in any light. Therefore, whether indoors or outdoors, your viewing experience stays flawless.
