Buying my first Iphone and can't decide between the Iphone 17 base model and the Iphone 17 pro max.

I live in Mauritius and earn minimum wage. I can afford either one, but the pro max would take a big chunk of my savings, and I don't want to spend so much on a phone and then regret it. At the same time, I'm worried I'll buy the base model and wish I'd gone for the Pro Max.

For those who have used both or made a similar choice, is the pro max really worth the extra money, or should I save the difference and get the base iphone 17?
