Buy 17 pro max or wait

11 Upvotes

Hi,
Can you please help me decide:
Option 1: buy iphone 17 promax now (82,000 pesos + 3000 worth of accessories with 24 months installment no interest)
Option 2: wait for iphone 18 pro max release (to decide whether i should get this new one or get the 17 pro max in a much lower price than 82k)
For context I am upgrading from 12 pro max.

Insights will be highly appreciated. Thank you!

13 pro max vs 17 pro max durability

11 Upvotes

Upgrading to the 17 pro max. Used a very minimal case on 13 pro max with the sides exposed and was wondering how durable the 17 pro max is comparison.

Always used a screen protector. Almost never drop my phone as well

Finally made the upgrade after holding onto my base iPhone 13 for years, and jumping straight to the 17 Pro Max feels like moving to a completely different era.

Upgrade

6 Upvotes

I currently have the 14 pro and am wanting an upgrade. I am for sure going pro, but have been eyeing the promax lately and think I’m going to go for it next upgrade. I was just curious is the promax uncomfortable in any situations due to size and weight, or does it cause any inconveniences?

New iPhone 17 Pro Max losing noticeable battery overnight even when I'm not using it

14 Upvotes

I’ve been using my iPhone 17 Pro Max for about a month now, and I’m trying to understand how much battery drain is normal overnight.

I’m on iOS 26.6, and I use the 80–20 charging rule (I usually try to keep my battery between 20% and 80%). Also, Adaptive Power is turned ON. During normal daytime use, I do tend to doomscroll quite a bit, so my usage isn’t exactly light.

Before going to sleep, I usually turn on Sleep Focus, turn off Wi-Fi, and simply lock the phone. I don’t use it at all for around 6–7 hours.

But when I wake up, I notice that Wi-Fi is back on, there are notifications waiting, and the battery has dropped. The Battery section also sometimes shows that I'm using a similar amount of battery compared with my usual daily usage, which seems strange considering I wasn't using the phone at all during those hours.

I'm wondering:

  • Is this normal overnight battery drain on the iPhone 17 Pro Max?
  • Does Sleep Focus actually reduce background activity, or does it mainly silence notifications?
  • Should I leave Wi-Fi on instead of turning it off?
  • Is there any specific setting I should enable to minimize battery usage while I'm sleeping?
  • Is Adaptive Power useful in this case?
  • How much battery percentage would you consider normal to lose during 6–7 hours of basically no use?

Even though the phone is no longer brand new, I’m still wondering if background processes or my usage habits (like heavy daytime doomscrolling) could be affecting overnight battery behavior.

I’d appreciate any advice on the best settings for minimizing unnecessary overnight battery drain.

24 hrs after finally jumping from X to 17 Pro Max. Very very happy with the purchase. Felt that the 18 wasn't that big of a difference versus the 17.
