iPhone 17 Pro Max Review: Sab Se Zaroori Phone, Lekin Sab Se Bada Compromise Bhi

​Introduction

​iPhone 17 Pro Max ki sales to zabardast ho rahi hain, lekin mujhe lagta hai yeh logon ka 'trust' (bharosa) hai, na ke koi naya miracle. Yeh phone ek ajeeb sa combo hai: Ismein zaroori cheezein theek ki gayi hain, lekin koi headline-grabbing feature nahi hai.

​2 hafton tak istemaal karne ke baad, mera faisla yeh hai ke yeh phone Apple ke ecosystem ki wajah se chalega, na ke apni groundbreaking technology ki wajah se.

​Titanium Chhor Kar Aluminum Par Wapsi

​Apple ne wapas Titanium chhor kar Aluminum ko apna liya hai. Yeh zahiri (ostensible) downgrade zaroor lagta hai, lekin yeh garmi (heat) control karne ke liye zaroori tha. Aluminium heat ko Titanium se behtar nikaalta hai. Phone haath mein iPhone 6 jaisa smooth lagta hai.

​Iski back par Ceramic Shield 2 hai, jo pichle saal se zyada mazboot hai. Lekin ek chhota masla hai: Kuch logon ne complain ki hai ke orange aur blue variants mein camera module ki coating jaldi utar rahi hai (Scratchgate).

​Vapor Chamber Aur Battery Ki Zindgi

​Andar ki baat karein to, Apple ne aakhirkaar Vapor Chamber cooling system daal hi diya. Yeh pichle purane graphite sheets se behtar hai. Iska seedha faida yeh hai ke games khelte waqt phone 2-4°C kam garam hoga. Ab screen ki dimming ka masla bhi khatam ho jayega.

​Battery mein bhi behtari aayi hai. Heavy usage ke bawajood, main aaram se 8 se 9 ghante Screen-On Time nikal paaya. Yeh pichle model se 10-15% zyada hai. Aur 40W fast charging se aap phone ko sirf 20 minute mein 50% charge kar sakte hain.

​Camera: Zoom Mein Kami, Selfie Mein Kamaal

​Camera system mein trade-offs (ghata-faida) hue hain:

• ​Selfie Camera: Front camera 18-megapixel ka ho gaya hai aur iska wide field of view hai. Mera khayal hai yeh vlogging aur group selfies ke liye zabardast hai.
• ​Telephoto Lens: Magar zoom ke liye 5x lens ko chhor kar 4x lens wapas laaya gaya hai. Mujhe lagta hai yeh galat faisla hai, kyonki zoom ki reach kam ho gayi. Haan, 4x lens ab 48MP ka hai, jo portraits ke liye achha hai. Lekin macro aur extreme zoom ke liye yeh phone abhi bhi Xiaomi aur Vivo se peeche hai.
• ​Video: Video ke liye yeh ab bhi sab se behtar hai. Iska ProRes codec aur teenon lenses par color consistency mere tajurbe mein lajawab hai. 

​

Software, Display Aur AI Ki Kami

​Display par ek anti-reflective coating di gayi hai, aur achhi baat yeh hai ke ab aap screen ki flicker (chamak) ko disable kar sakte hain.

​Software (iOS 26) stable hai. Ismein native call recording aur MP3 ringtone lagane jaise features bhi aa gaye hain (jo Android mein kab se hain).

​Lekin sab se badi mayoosi (disappointment) Apple ka AI par khamosh rehna hai. Jab Samsung aur Google apne naye AI features la rahe hain, to Apple ka 'Smart Siri' ko launch na karna, mere khayal se unki sab se badi ghalti hai.

​Aakhri Faisla (Conclusion)

​Aakhir mein, meri raai yeh hai ke iPhone 17 Pro Max un logon ke liye hai jo Apple ka ecosystem chhorna nahi chahte, aur jinko accha battery life aur behtareen cooling chahiye. Yeh phone pragmatism (practicality) ki jeet hai, na ke innovation ki.
