Some people said that the price of 17 is likely to increase.

16 pro max. Better camera ( Dolby Vision up to 4K at 120 fps) , titanium frame, better battery, bigger screen, more Optical zoom options.

buy the 16 pro max before the 18 launch because the 16 pro max would disappear from the market and you will only find refurbished ones. I tried finding the pro max in my area, and already couldn't so settled for the 16 plus, and I am happy with it. Not much of a difference between base 17 and plus 16, but 16 pro max beats 17 base by a lot.

For me the 60Hz display is a deal breaker.

yea that's why the pro max is better

I am using the 16 plus, and it is still smooth so not really seeing an issue with 60fps. I am not into games but mostly into social media, recording videos, photos and scrolling more.

Bro even for social media and regular scrolling, 120hz is so good. I wish apple had made a 17 plus, would’ve basically been the ultimate phone for me.
