Pros and cons
Pros
- 8x optical-quality zoom from a 48MP Telephoto; the iPhone 16 Pro Max stops at 5x from a 12MP Telephoto
- Up to 39 hours of video playback, 6 hours more than the iPhone 16 Pro Max
- Charges to 50% in 20 minutes with a 40W adapter; the 16 Pro Max takes around 30 minutes
- The first iPhone with a 2TB storage option
- 18MP Center Stage front camera, up from 12MP on the iPhone 16 Pro Max
Cons
- eSIM only in the UAE: no SIM tray, while the iPhone 16 Pro Max sold here takes a nano-SIM
- At 233 g, 6 g heavier and 0.5 mm thicker than the iPhone 16 Pro Max
- No charger in the box, and the fastest wired charging needs a 40W adapter or higher
Our verdict
The iPhone 17 Pro Max has the longest battery life and the longest zoom of any iPhone of its year: up to 39 hours of video and 8x optical-quality zoom from three 48MP cameras. Against the 16 Pro Max it also adds a sharper front camera, faster charging and a 2TB option.
If you rely on a physical SIM card, note that UAE units are eSIM only. If you do not need the zoom or the extra battery, a 16 Pro Max does most of the same for less.

iPhone 17 Pro Max price guide
What the iPhone 17 Pro Max costs in the UAE
Across the 19 stores we track, the iPhone 17 Pro Max sells for between AED 3,950 and AED 9,213. That spread covers 4 storage options, sealed new and pre-owned stock and 3 colours, so the headline price is rarely the price of the exact model you want. The lowest price, AED 3,950, is for a 256GB Refurbished unit at BSM PHONES.
New or pre-owned?
Sealed new starts at AED 4,347 at Carrefour UAE for the 256GB. Pre-owned stock undercuts it by up to 24%: on the 1TB you would pay AED 4,399 instead of AED 5,799, a saving of AED 1,400. A gap that size is worth having if the condition and warranty suit you; check both before you compare prices.
Which storage is the best value?
At the lowest sealed new price for each size, the 256GB starts at AED 4,347. Going from 256GB to 512GB adds AED 603. Going from 512GB to 1TB adds AED 849. Going from 1TB to 2TB adds AED 820. The smallest step up is to the 512GB, the easiest upgrade to justify if you need the space.
Pre-owned: which condition to buy
Pre-owned units are graded Original Parts, Refurbished or Condition Unclear, by what the store states. For the iPhone 17 Pro Max, Original Parts starts at AED 4,189 and Refurbished starts at AED 3,950. Each step up the scale costs more, as you would expect. Most of the difference between conditions is cosmetic and battery health; see what each condition allows on our conditions page.
