The iPhone 17 lineup will make its official debut tomorrow (September 19). That means the current batch of iPhone 17 preorder deals will expire tonight. Yes, there will be new deals tomorrow, but preorder deals typically tend to be more aggressive.
For example, right now you can still get up to $1,100 off the iPhone 17 Pro Max at T-Mobile. To get this deal you’ll need to trade-in a phone in any condition and sign up for T-Mobile’s Experience Beyond or Go 5G Next data plans. Or you can get up to $830 off when you switch to T-Mobile on Experience More. (For more deals, check out our coverage of the best Apple Watch 11 preorders and AirPods Pro 3 preorders).
The iPhone 17 Pro Max is Apple’s top-of-the-line smartphone. Unlike the 6.3-inch iPhone 17 Pro, the Pro Max offers a bigger 6.9-inch OLED 120Hz screen and larger battery. In fact, in our tests its battery lasted a whopping 17 hours and 54 minutes. That instantly places it in our list of handhelds with best phone battery life. It also comes in a 2TB configuration, should you need the extra storage.
On the hardware front, you get Apple’s A19 Pro chipset and 256GB of storage. You also get a 48MP main, 48MP ultrawide, and 48MP w/ 4x zoom telephoto lens. The front camera is 18MP
In our iPhone 17 Pro Max review, we said Apple’s new phone isn’t worth the upgrade if you already have an iPhone 15 Pro Max or iPhone 16 Pro Max, but if your phone is older — you’ll find that the iPhone 17 Pro Max is a pleasure to own.
