New iPhone 17 Pro Max – Unboxing and First Impressions
A new silver iPhone 17 Pro Max has just arrived, and of course we couldn’t resist doing a proper unboxing. Minimalist packaging, Apple’s signature style, and that familiar feeling of holding the newest generation of iPhone in your hands. It’s always an exciting moment — even after so many years of using Apple technology. Now it’s time to see what Apple has changed this time and how the new model performs in everyday use.
The first major change you notice right away is the aluminum body. At first glance, it doesn’t look as premium as previous models made of steel or titanium — but there’s something familiar about it. For many users, it brings back memories of the iPhone 6 and 6s era, with a simpler and more functional design. Most importantly, aluminum made it possible to introduce a vapor chamber cooling system, which significantly improves heat management under heavy load.

Since the iPhone 17 Pro Max is made of aluminum, using a protective case is almost mandatory. That’s why we immediately put on a Lici dual-layer case, designed for real, everyday protection. The inner silicone layer absorbs shocks and protects the softer aluminum from bending, while the hard outer shell acts like a shield against scratches and mechanical damage. It’s a solution that gives peace of mind without sacrificing style. Buy this case: Horizon - iPhone 17 Pro Max
After the first moments with the phone, it feels that the iPhone 17 Pro Max is less about luxury and more about performance. The aluminum construction and internal changes clearly focus on efficiency and practicality. Early tests already suggest that the phone barely heats up, even during long video recording sessions. We’ll be testing this ourselves and sharing our detailed impressions very soon.
