While other iPhone models havent had any significant price hikes for years, the Pro Max model has.

However, whether this means it’s possible for you to skip the screen protector isnt clear right now.

Theres been somedisagreement among leakersas to whether the iPhone 17 Pro Max will have a titanium frame this year.

Rumor has it thatApple may be building its own batteries, intending to debut them on iPhone 17s.

Which youd expect because the last thing we want is for battery life to get worse.

But its still a good thing if Apple can pull it off.
