I am glad they integrated 48 megapixel cameras and an front facing 18 megapixel camera for dual capture and you can film it on centre stage for friends and family

Ugly af, I’ll be keeping my 15 pro max. Even a 16 pro max I wouldn’t upgrade.

He said finally got a price increase like that’s what we were all waiting on lol. 😂

Apple is done. I watched the keynote and let’s just say the company is very woke and feminine. Neither of those groups innovate. It’s proven in their ancient designs and AI failure. Neither group programs very well either.

That is just butt ugly at least it is more expensive though. I will wait and see how the S26 Ultra turns out

“Interesting looking design” !?! 😂You mean: Ugly design for the next 5 years! At least it finally looks like an Android.

I wanna know if the 17 Pro Max is lighter or heavier than the 16 Pro Max.
@HelpMeClippy
September 9, 2025 at 9:23 pm
4g heavier than the 16 Pro Max. Really was hoping the aluminum would save some weight this time but no.

Waste of money just get the air and call it a day

17 pro/promax are extremely ugly with big camera bumps therefore you absolutely need a proper case for it to make it look even

If you look closely there’s nothing new about this phone. Left behind for ages against Android.

8x times tele on iphone.. Uuuhhh can’t wait you test the video for tele, 2TB option, and that orange pretty captivating..
@rachmadsuhartono
September 9, 2025 at 9:22 pm
So what’s new?
@lattiure
September 9, 2025 at 9:24 pm
I just love how they’re now promoting aluminum as a premium product after years of selling stainless steel and titanium as the big innovations

Pro is supposed to mean…. Professional. There’s nothing professional looking about orange unless your OSHA. Blue looks decent….but the silver is the most professional looking in an office environment.

It’s the same price
