iPhone 17 Pro One Month Later: What We Learned
In our latest review, we delve into the iPhone 17 Pro Max after a month of intensive testing. This video examines not just the phone’s performance but also the surrounding controversies, from design critiques to its innovative features.
While Apple’s titanium-bodied design attracted mixed reactions, the bold new color options and aggressive styling aim to silence detractors. The iOS 26 interface brings a fresh take with new customization options in messaging and an enhanced camera experience. Notable upgrades include a robust battery life, with the Pro Max emerging as the longest-lasting iPhone yet.
However, not all is perfect. We tackle concerns surrounding “scratch gate”—where demo units showed wear—and reports of speaker anomalies when connected to a charger. Accessories, like the new tech woven case and the versatile Pixel Snap ring stand, add functional flair, enhancing the overall user experience.
Ultimately, the iPhone 17 Pro and Pro Max are powerful contenders in the smartphone market, especially for those looking to upgrade from older models. Should you consider the Pro over the standard model? This video poses that critical question and invites feedback from viewers on their experiences.

I thought the comments were being dramatic. But this “review” is ridiculous.
Upgraded from a 14 pro to the base 17 and DONT regret it at all, i actually only paid a little over 500 for it…pro motion and double the storage, it was a no brained and my battery life is stellar and I’ve been on the 26.1 beta…by the way dude great shirt👍🏿
The boring company
I have it. It’s 💩
Looks different, yay! 🤦🏻♂️
Glitch gallore and underwhelming new camera 😑
Regret regret regret 😤
You lost a lot of credibility with this one. The 17 pro isn’t a bad phone but it’s definitely not deserving of all that fake gushing you did over it.
CNET should be embarrassed by what they’ve become — this video is downright disgraceful. It’s ridiculous when YouTubers let sponsorships dictate their opinions, promoting one brand while pretending to stay unbiased. True tech coverage should never be bought.
Looks like an unreleased kelp colorway Peak Design case
love it , using 17 Pro Max for one month , its a beast (upgraded from 16 Pro Max)
CNET should be embarrassed by where they have ended up – this video is disgraceful!
Clickbait. The dude said anything at all, just how iPhone and its interface looks like. This guy should be fired!🤬🤬🤬
Dude, your jokes are awful ! 😣
👎👎👎🔥🔥🔥
If this is sponsored, Apple wouldn’t allow CNET to mention any other OEM products especially the Google Pixel Snap ring stand.
"I've used Iphone 1 month and I have A LOT OF THOUGHTS!!!"
8 mins video…. 3 minutes of this time we are listening about design, well you definitely needed to use it 30 days to tell us how it looks. I didn't understand what exactly you didn't know before you start use it? You just literally told everything other channels told us in the 1st day of using.
What a GREAT work!
Is it worth it from the 11?
Isn't it mandatory to mention if the video is sponsored? This should be mentioned as sponsored by Apple.

I’ll stick with my iPhone 14 Pro Max, it does everything I need it to do. I’ll upgrade when software updates are no longer available for it.
It's still the vanilla pro
TLDR: he is still in love with the phone😂😂
It was rather effusive there CNET .. what was the goal in making it?
CNET would never do this with Samsung 😂
Did you see the picture comparison with Pixel 10 ?
"Vegan Leather" isn't leather. It's fake leather. Basically plastic. Call it what it is.
Im no longer a cnet member as its always +ve, no negatives 😢
Overhyped no need technology, just buy a 3yr old iPhone & keep doing it every 3yrs
When was the last time apple listened to their customers?
start battery test from 80% . 100 to 80 is a scam in apple products
When I went from my 15 Pro to the 16 Pro Max, it was for better battery life which it definitely had. When I went from my 16 Pro Max to 17 Pro Max, it was for the same reason my 17 Pro Max battery is definitely a solid upgrade over the 16 Pro Max and the cameras are slightly better. If you have a 16 series the upgrade is not worth it unless you just wanted the battery improvements like I did. I’m getting well over a full day on a full charge
Weren't you just glazing about the Titanium like it was a game changer a year ago?😂😂 They got this guy looking crazier ever year 🤦♂️
3:15 – "You can have any number of lock screens."
This man is a liar because I want 100,000,000 options.
Nope. My fold is still way better than that excuse for innovation. Apple has lost its "premium" stance a long time ago. And now specially with little Tim take the knee to the orange carrot dumb🫏 in office. Nope, but thanks.
Dislike for advertisment !
This ad is paid by apple. Shame CNET. Just lost credibity in few minutes. Do you really think people are so stupid to fall for your stupid review??? 😂
My favorite feature of my iPhone 17 Pro Max is the battery life. My battery no easily lasts two days with normal use. That includes viewing news videos, online language course, you tube, etc. I've never had a battery last this long. At the end of the second day I am typically at c. 60%!
daltry lip synchs that scream
This is the Apple’s best hardware? CNET is hilarious 😂. People always paid over over over the top price to Apple because of their Software +Hardware combination. iPhone 17Pro is exactly opposite to that ideology.
Love the orange version’s inter-mixing with orange snack foods and sodas. Very clever!

Sadly, Apple has an iPad problem with his iPhone. It's all about software.
I have a 13 mini, gonna wait for the folders next year
Am I the only one who heard " this is the iPhone 17 pro bax "
The iPhone is still boring. This is me speaking as an iPhone user who got the new 17 pro max too. They need to innovate more than faster and better camera. This video was basically just the review again. Not much about how the phone has been holding up a month later.
15 pro max just replace the battery 🔋 because of the overheating I’m good for another two years
The new iPhone 17 pro looks like a unfinished prototype. This video is a paid Apple commercial.
How does CNET keep credibility with post like this. This isn't a review, its an advertisement.
As someone who owns an iPhone 17 Pro Max, my only question to this video is how much Apple paid you?
I got a MagSafe phone cooler and it makes my phone able to run Fortnite indefinitely with out overheating
what even is this video, the host is glazing the thing so much he needs new underwear
