First of all, I want to apologize. I got a throat thing going on, but look, I got a little bit of tea here. Mint majesty
0:05
We're going to need that to stay clear. We have an important video here today. This is one of those packages that I receive, it seems like yearly, from China, which acts as our best indication and our hands-on experience with the next generation iPhone before the next generation iPhone exists
0:21
I believe what I have here is a 17 Pro Max. I'm probably going to receive some more of these for different models
0:28
So make sure to subscribe so you don't miss that. I mean, it's really your best look you're going to get at the next generation iPhone months before it actually exists in hand for people
0:37
So I'm going to start with this box. This is the real prime time. So don't leave the video
0:41
That's the real prime time. But we'll start with this one as our first indication into iPhone 17
0:47
But in the other package there is a much more refined sample than this one
0:51
Now, let's talk a little bit about rumors as we jump in here. Apple is departing from its existing design, definitely more so than it has in a while
1:00
And a lot of that has to do with how the camera section is going to be altered
1:03
So this is an existing Pro Max iPhone 16 and a Pro and obviously the non-Pros
1:09
This like triple camera thing has basically been the same for a long time
1:12
And this triangular shape also supporting the spatial video, which is apparently a big deal to Apple
1:17
And one of the reasons why they're going to maintain this triangular shape for the upcoming phones
1:21
and they didn't opt for some of the other renders that people were putting out there
1:24
with like a more streamlined or horizontal camera layout. But the difference now is that you're having this two-tone thing going on
1:32
So this is the first 17 Pro sample. It actually has some really nice weight to it, but it's very crude
1:37
Like it doesn't look like an actual phone. But the reason that these samples exist is for case manufacturers
1:44
to get a better idea of upcoming dimensions so they're ready to sell when the phone actually hits
1:49
Now, a lot of these you've seen online, you've seen photos of these online, you probably haven't seen them in hand
1:54
And like I said, in this other package here, we're going to take things up a notch with a lot more detail and a much more refined kind of sample
2:00
17 Pro, you can see this one actually has dimensions listed on it as well, which I think is interesting
2:04
149.63, 71.44, and 8.75. Now, the other thing which appears to be true in this case using this example is that it's getting a little bit fatter
2:14
And actually, I mean, that looks true just holding it there compared to the previous generation Pro
2:18
It definitely looks fatter. Now does that mean bigger battery Yes most likely Not by a huge margin but slightly bigger The other rumors that are likely to be true here faster wireless charging reverse wireless charging so more components in there Faster wired charging hopefully jumping up to 35 watts
2:33
Nothing compared to those flagship Android phones, but better, no one's going to complain about faster charging
2:38
Obviously, we've still got our camera control button. The other thing, a lot of these models seem to highlight
2:42
this MagSafe portion, and also create this outline for this rectangular section of the back
2:47
And that's because, unlike on previous generations where the whole thing is essentially this matte glass
2:52
and then you've only got this titanium frame. Supposedly the frame here is actually going to be aluminum now
2:57
not titanium. It'll make it a little bit more lightweight. Anyway, and then you'll just have this small portion of glass in the center
3:03
At least that's the prevailing rumor. Otherwise, button layout's similar. You can see they moved the flash all the way over to the other side
3:10
There were some rumors that they were going to jam a little screen in here for better selfie video or something
3:15
I don't think that's going to happen. That's pipe dream stuff. However, the other portion to mention with your dynamic island, which still exists there, is the front facing camera is said to see an improvement up to 24 megapixels
3:25
Obviously a new chip, faster device, slightly bigger battery. But I don't know how people feel about the design, which is like the main kind of change
3:31
And the fact that you go to a two tone setup with a lot less glass
3:36
Okay, let's pull out the caliper real quick. What does it say on the caliper here
3:40
It says 875. Is that what they say? Yeah, 875. We are talking about millimeters
3:43
So they're saying that the iPhone 17 Pro, 8.75 millimeters thick, 71.44 millimeters wide, and 149.63 millimeters tall
3:53
And so that makes it bigger than the previous generation of Pro. It just makes it slightly bigger in pretty much every way
3:59
Now maybe the reason for that is because of this rumored iPhone 17 Air
4:03
As I suggested at the beginning of the video, as I receive more of these models, I'm going to show off those, compare them to these
4:08
And that's likely coming up in a future video, so make sure to subscribe so you don't miss that
4:11
All right, now let's go ahead and jump inside the magic package. But before we do, actually, let's talk a little bit about this funny little mic that I'm wearing on my hat
4:18
Thank you to Polyland for sponsoring this episode. This is my go-to mic for a wearable mic
4:23
And normally I wouldn't wear it on my hat, but I'm actually trying to call it out. This is like the tiniest little most convenient clip for you if you hope to make content online
4:31
It has this little charge kit. It can interface directly with your smartphone if that's how you record
4:35
You can do interviews with a two-pack that's included. Everything stays charged in this little guy
4:39
and it's got a tiny little receiver as well which can plug into your camera if you use a dedicated
4:44
camera and you don want to record directly into the smartphone it all goes in this little kit which charges up over usbc and then you also got a travel bag to keep everything secure so i been using their product for a while and i want to use it in this video just to show you how close you can get it to an actual
4:58
studio microphone even though it's tiny and wearable and you can really just clip this mic
5:02
anywhere and of course it's wireless check out the range like i can just keep moving but i still
5:06
sound like i'm sitting right there and here's a little easter egg there's actually some video
5:11
of Apple's CEO Tim Cook wearing this exact M2S the last time he visited China. So if you're looking
5:17
for the perfect little microphone kit to pair with your eventual iPhone 17, look at this. Check this
5:23
out. Boom. This little guy plugs in the bottom. Now you got a whole production facility with the
5:28
phone that's already in your pocket and an entire microphone kit that also fits in your pocket
5:31
It's perfect. Let's move on here to the main attraction of this video and the reason you
5:36
clicked on this video inside this package right here i believe it's one of one at the moment a
5:41
high quality production and hands-on with the closest sample yet to the iphone 17 pro max it's
5:49
amazing the level of detail that they can go into on some of these things this one gets its own black
5:54
bag velvety bag so there it is the iphone 17 pro max it's kind of weird looking honestly that's a
6:04
little bit hard for me to believe. Some seem to suggest maybe it's inspired by the watch. Like
6:09
are you feeling that kind of? Just compare from like, which is more beautiful to you? That's
6:15
going to take a little while to get used to with the two-tone thing. It's definitely a departure
6:20
People are going to know that you're using the 17 Pro Max and not the 16, 15, or otherwise. At
6:26
least initially, I'm not sure that it's as good looking. Everybody always gets used to these
6:30
designs but initially it's just this big gap and then having the flash all the way over there
6:35
looking around the device otherwise very similar wow this even has a functioning look at that that's
6:41
there's actually the pins in there for the type c this feels like a finished product honestly this
6:45
is one of the nicest singular manufactured one-offs that i've ever received look at this
6:51
thing anyway everything as far as the layout remains the same exactly the same even the sim
6:56
The camera modules themselves look roughly the same size. Display size looks pretty much identical
7:06
It's a huge phone still. You can see it, it's visibly thicker. This new design
7:10
At least in the non sections If we want to do a quick wobble test Okay slightly less wobble There it is
7:23
guys, the iPhone 17 Pro Max. Are you guys happy with this? What do you think? Like, is it going
7:29
to grow on you? Is that something you see as an improvement to the previous generation? I mean
7:34
we're talking just about the design. Obviously, there are going to be hardware improvements. The device is going to have the new chip. It'll be faster. The cameras are all said to be improved
7:41
48 megapixels all the way around. They maintain their horizontal setup for the purpose of spatial
7:46
video. Front facing camera also gets an improvement. Reverse wireless charging is the rumor. Faster
7:52
charging. But design wise, iPhone 16 Pro Max or 17 Pro Max? What do you think? I don't know what
7:59
people are going to think. I honestly think some people could call it ugly. I really do. But it's
8:02
an iPhone. You know, there's going to be about a billion of these things hitting the market all at once and then people are just going to get used to it and then a bunch of other companies will
8:09
copy it and that's just the future of our lives whether we like it or not now the trend has been
8:13
set we're going to see funny two-tone type of smartphones hitting the market and it's a market
8:18
that desperately needs something to feel new anyhow been a long it's been a long time like
8:23
this and then they're like oh well get slightly bigger better specs other improvements now we're
8:29
titanium and then they're like now we're not at least again that's the rumor i mean this looks
8:32
like aluminum. Anyway, there you have it. iPhone 17 Pro Max, the best look yet that you're going to
8:38
get what it's going to be like to have it, to hold it, to buy it. If you choose to pricing
8:43
supposedly going to start around 1250 USD. They're going to be pricey beasts and they're going to be
8:48
out relatively shortly. And as I mentioned at the beginning of this video, I may have some other
8:53
very nice models coming in shortly. So make sure to subscribe if you want to see those comparatively
8:58

9:07
They're making some really cool stuff. And this little device is my favorite
9:11
Oh, yeah. And another thing, maybe you don't love the two-tone design and you're going to put a case on it
9:16
You could always go with a later case. Look at that. One tone, super thin
9:20
