r/17ProMax

You won’t be able to enjoy the phone if you’re constantly worried about the battery. The phone has an amazing battery, we will be okay!

Hey guys!

Curious to know if you’re charging your 17s any certain way? This battery is fantastic and I’d love to preserve it anyway possible

I’ve heard from some people set it to only charge to 80% while others say charge it all the way and don’t let it go below 50% due to the kind of battery it is.
So kinda confused on what’s the best method.

Currently I charge mine while I’m sleeping and use a Apple (beats) braided cord with a Anker charger plug (Anker Nano smart display charger)

Also due colors on the 18 no idea if they have a deep blue.
Should I update? I paid $10 more for 3 months to be able to do it but I wonder now if I should just keep the 17

Hey guys, I’m getting an iPhone 17 Pro Max today. Do you think this is a good buy for content creation mainly front camera focus however for rear camera too in case I need to do long form please someone provided valuable feedback.

i was debating having a upgrade from 15 pro to 17 pro and its compeletly worth it

Need help choosing a case.

Right Now i'm choosing between Caudabe Sheath, Paragon or Pitaka Summa. What is your pick? Or any other suggestions? My go to for months now has been the TechWoven Case.

Thank you for your help!

Instantly feel much smoother experience..within few let see the battery experience…

Picked up my first Pro Max a few days ago and I want to actually use what I'm paying for, not just run it like my old phone.

I've done the basics (Action Button, ProMotion on, Face ID). What I'm really after is the stuff that isn't obvious.

A few things I'm curious about:

Camera: are you shooting ProRAW or any specific format for everyday photos, or is Auto genuinely fine? Any settings that made your shots noticeably better?

Applications : Any recommendations ?

Battery: what do you actually turn off without regretting it?

Daily use: the one shortcut, gesture, or setting that changed how you use the phone.

Not looking for a full guide, just your single best "wish I knew this sooner." What's yours?

So I bought an iphone 17 pro max from a reseller in brand new condition unopened. I bought it on August 18 but when I click on the battery it shows that it was first used on May 2026 (not a specific date just the month) why would this happen? Should I be concerned and does this happen frequently?

Thanks
