#iPhone 17 Philippines

When the iPhone 17 Pro Max was originally announced, it attracted mixed reactions from the usual iPhone crowd. As a matter of disclosure, I have not substantially used an iPhone since the iPhone X, and except maybe for a couple of weeks on the iPhone 15 Pro. So, while I am doing this review, I have wholeheartedly committed to switching to the iPhone 17 Pro Max so I can make a much better judgement -- whether I will miss something from the Android ecosystem or I actually find a very useful feature only the iPhone has to offer. It's been more than a month since the new iPhone 17 series has been launched in the Philippines and we've also had a good-enough time get a deep-dive of the iOS ecosystem that I have not been familiar with for the longest time. I will make an early apology if some parts of this review will come off as iPhone vs. Design and Construction The iPhone 17 Pro Max takes it design roots all the way back from the iPhone 12 Pro Max (in 2020) with a slightly noticeable refinements with the iPhone 15 Pro Max (in 2023) that included the shift to titanium body and contoured edges. Add to that the fact that an anodized aluminum allows for wider color options like the Cosmic Orange colorway we now have on the iPhone 17 Pro and Pro Max.
