The tech giant Apple is known for its relentless innovation, introducing yearly smartphone updates, even with minor tweaks. However, the upcoming iPhone 17 is set to bring a rare level of revolution to the lineup, unlike anything seen in recent years.
Apple says goodbye to the iPhone Pro Max
It seems Apple plans to discontinue the Pro Max model with the release of the iPhone 17. Instead, the company will adopt a new name, “iPhone 17 Ultra,” aligning with the branding strategies of other leading global companies. This shift implies that the iPhone 17 Pro Max will no longer exist as part of the lineup.
While the changes accompanying the Ultra model remain largely a mystery, speculation suggests that beyond the new name, there may not be many groundbreaking features. However, insiders hint at some notable improvements over the iPhone 16 Pro Max. These include an upgraded camera and an internal vapor chamber designed to enhance the phone’s performance and manage high temperatures more efficiently.

Currently, the biggest unknown is how significant the differences between the Pro and Ultra models will be. It’s speculated that variations in the Dynamic Island feature—a tool for stylizing the phone’s locked screen and optimizing notification management—may be among the distinctions.
