The first iPhone 17 Pro Max reviews are in: What the early testers are saying


Sounds like Apple struck gold again.

Patrick Holland of CNET, which is owned by Mashable publisher Ziff Davis, noted the improvements made to the selfie camera, including the ability for it to zoom out and take bigger group shots. "I was all the more persuaded when I paired Center Stage with a timer or remote control of the selfie camera and placed the iPhone 17 Pro Max on a table," Low wrote. "Much will depend on what you're doing—hours of gaming will deplete the cell much faster—but I think there's a good chance you might not have to charge your iPhone every single day anymore, especially with the Pro Max."
