In context
How big is iPhone 17 Pro Max, really?
Of the 34 iPhones on this site, iPhone 17 Pro Max is the largest by the size of its front (163.4 × 78 mm), the 30th lightest at 233 g, and has the 3rd largest screen at 6.9 inches. That puts it with the large iPhones, which most people use with two hands.
Its 6.9-inch display is about 73.3 × 159.2 mm (worked out from the diagonal and its 2868 × 1320 pixel grid), so the screen covers roughly 92% of the front. The front camera and Face ID sensors sit in the Dynamic Island, a pill-shaped cut-out that also shows live activity. At 460 pixels per inch, individual pixels are not visible at a normal viewing distance.
Against iPhone 16 Pro Max (2024), the model it followed, it is 6 g heavier, the chip moves from A18 Pro to A19 Pro, and Apple's video playback rating rises from 33 to 39 hours.
iPhone 18 Pro Max shares its height and width to within 0.3 mm, so in the hand they feel almost the same size, even if cases are cut differently around the cameras and buttons.
