Our verdictIf you're coming from an iPhone 14 Pro Max or older, this is a big jump. From a 17 Pro Max, the upgrade is mostly the camera and chip, so check trade-in offers first.

Best for: Power users who keep a phone 3–4 years and want the best battery on iPhone.

Pros and cons

Why buy it

Think twice if…

  • AED 400 more than the 17 Pro Max now costs
  • Heavy and large for one-hand use
