"Perhaps the most obvious and in many ways most significant development this year is the iPhone 17 Pro's build - titanium is out, aluminum is in (or back in, depending on how you look at it). That hasn't affected size and weight in any major way, though - Pro Maxes are about as large as conventional non-bendy smartphones come (larger and heavier than some full-size foldables too)."
"There are sharp edges on it too, however - the camera plateau's anodization layer may be prone to chipping off, so the new model might show more signs of use than the glass-titanium 16 Pro Max, given enough time (and/or neglect). Both generations are IP68-rated for dust and water resistance and Apple says they should be good after being submerged as deep as 6m for 30 minutes."
iPhone 17 Pro Max replaces the previous titanium construction with an aluminum build and introduces two new cameras alongside expected chipset upgrades. Retailers and carriers retain plentiful stock of the discontinued iPhone 16 Pro Max, making the prior model a viable, cheaper alternative for buyers. Size and weight differences are minimal, though the 17 Pro Max is slightly heavier and features smoother back edges that may improve comfort. The camera plateau anodization on the 17 Pro Max may chip over time, potentially showing more wear than the glass-titanium 16 Pro Max. Both phones carry IP68 water and dust resistance rated to 6m for 30 minutes, and the 17 Pro Max offers new colorways including Cosmic Orange, blue, and Silver.
