Setting new battery life records - Apple iPhone 17 Pro Max smartphone review

[Redaktion]

Which iPhone is the best? It goes without saying, Apple will point to the iPhone 17 Pro Max, since their new flagship iPhone model is home to every superlative in the book. It might also be a worthwhile upgrade, because numerous fine details have been improved compared to its predecessor. In terms of battery life, you could even say the 17 Pro Max is proving itself to be the new iPhone ultimate.

Crazy: 1450 bucks for only a 1059 nits screen, vs a brighter 1179 nits screen in a 300 bucks Galaxy A56, or a 1300 nits screen in a Nord CE5 for 350 bucks.

Apple hasn't provided precise details concerning the support period. However, with the EU requiring at least five years of updates for smartphones after the official end of sales, a six-year update period can be assumed.

And even this is not better than what you get in the mentioned 2 other phones.

The screen is just an example that there may be other areas where you overpay by 5 times.

I see, so this is where the 6 years come from (and not because of the good will of the companies, ofc not), because the SoC/cores would still be fast enough for a few years more (8-10). EU, force them to support not 5 years, but 7 or 9 years (=8 to 10 years in total then), at least for certain, good mid rangers, like the Galaxy A56 or the Nord series.

iPhone 6S from 2015 is still receiving updates in 2025, and that was long before the EU forced them anything ¯⁠\⁠_⁠(⁠ツ⁠)⁠_⁠/⁠¯

The last one was about a month ago.
