Beebom85/100Oct 2026
Apple's most complete phone with top speed and stamina, but heavy and a big price jump in India; for those with deep pockets.
-
One of Apple's smallest yearly updates, but still a top flagship; best for people coming from a 15 Pro Max or older, skip the 1TB/2TB.
-
A safe, sensible upgrade for Apple fans wanting the biggest screen; quicker with longer battery, but pricier and not exciting.

Tom's Guide90/100Sep 2026
Editor's Choice; among the best phones you can buy, and the Max is the pick for screen and battery (score via Notebookcheck list).
-
Editor's Choice refinement of the 17 Pro; the cameras are the big step, but not a huge upgrade for 17 Pro owners.

CNET93/100Sep 2026
Excellent camera phone, though not needed by everyone (page not opened; score and summary from Notebookcheck's list).
What owners say
Owners like
- Several roundups note most owners report no problems; the complaints are mainly early software bugs
Common complaints
- Phone froze and restarted after a failed Face ID scan for many early owners on iOS 27; Apple fixed it with iOS 27.0.1
- Some owners hear crackling or popping from the speakers or earpiece; no fix confirmed yet
- Touch screen sometimes stops responding for a moment (a few reports, cause unclear)
- Early iOS 27 bugs: Control Centre freezes, widget/home screen crashes, battery drain and warmth, mostly fixed in iOS 27.0.1
- A few reports of green/pink lines on the screen (some of the viral ones were said to be fake)
- Paint chipping on the aluminium frame reported in China
- Third-party magnetic MagSafe accessories can disturb the variable-aperture blades (one report)
- In the US some AT&T users lost signal (SOS mode); not an India issue
