00:00first of all i want to apologize i got a throat thing going on but look i got a little bit of tea
00:04here mint majesty we're gonna need that to stay clear we have an important video here today this
00:09is one of those packages that i receive it seems like yearly from china which acts as our best
00:15indication and our hands-on experience with the next generation iphone before the next generation
00:20iphone exists i believe what i have here is a 17 pro max i'm probably going to receive some more
00:26of these for different models so make sure to subscribe so you don't miss that i mean it's
00:30really your best look you're going to get at the next generation iphone months before it actually
00:35exists in hand for people so i'm going to start with this box this is the real prime time so don't
00:40leave the video that's the real prime time but we'll start with this one as our first indication
00:44into iphone 17 but in the other package there is a much more refined sample than this one now let's
00:52talk a little bit about rumors as we jump in here apple is departing from its existing design
00:58definitely more so than it has in a while and a lot of that has to do with how the camera section
01:03is going to be altered so this is an existing pro max iphone 16 and a pro and obviously the non-pros
01:09this like triple camera thing has basically been the same for a long time and this triangular shape
01:13also supporting the spatial video which is apparently a big deal to apple and one of the reasons why they're
01:18going to maintain this triangular shape for the upcoming phones and they didn't opt for some of
01:22the other renders that people were putting out there with like more streamlined or horizontal camera
01:28layout but the difference now is that you're having this two-tone thing going on so this is the first
01:3417 pro sample it actually has some really nice weight to it but it's very crude like it doesn't look
01:38like an actual phone but the reason that these samples exist is for case manufacturers to get a better
01:45idea of upcoming dimensions so they're ready to sell when the phone actually hits now a lot of
01:50these you've seen online you've seen photos of these online you probably haven't seen them in
01:53hand and like i said in this other package here we're going to take things up a notch with a lot
01:57more detail and a much more refined kind of sample 17 pro you can see this one actually has dimensions
02:02listed on it as well which i think is interesting 149.63 71.44 and 8.75 now the other thing which appears to
02:10be true in this case using this example is that it's getting a little bit fatter and actually i mean
02:14that looks true just holding it there compared to the previous generation pro it definitely
02:18looks fatter now does that mean bigger battery yes most likely not by a huge margin but slightly
02:23bigger the other rumors that are likely to be true here faster wireless charging reverse wireless
02:28charging so more components in there faster wired charging hopefully jumping up to 35 watts
02:33nothing compared to those flagship android phones but better no one's going to complain about faster
02:38charging obviously we've still got our camera control button the other thing a lot of these models seem to
02:42highlight this magsafe portion and also create this outline for this rectangular section of the
02:47back and that's because unlike on previous generations where the whole thing is essentially
02:51this matte glass and then you've only got this titanium frame supposedly the frame here is actually
02:56going to be aluminum now not titanium it'll make it a little bit more lightweight anyway and then
03:01you'll just have this small portion of glass in the center at least that's the prevailing rumor
03:05otherwise button layout similar you can see they move the flash all the way over to the other side
03:10there were some rumors that they were going to jam a little screen in here for better selfie video
03:14or something i don't think that's going to happen that's pipe dream stuff however the other portion
03:19to mention with your dynamic island which still exists there is the front-facing camera is said to
03:23see an improvement up to 24 megapixels obviously a new chip faster device slightly bigger battery but i
03:28don't know how people feel about the design which is like the main kind of change and the fact that
03:32you go to a two-tone setup with a lot less glass okay let's pull out the caliper real quick what does it say
03:39on the caliper here it says 875 is what they say yeah 875 we are talking about millimeters so they're
03:44saying that the iphone 17 pro 8.75 millimeters thick 71.44 millimeters wide and 149.63 millimeters tall
03:53and so that makes it bigger than the previous generation of pro it just makes it slightly bigger
03:58in pretty much every way now maybe the reason for that is because of this rumored iphone 17 air
04:03as i suggest at the beginning of the video as i receive more of these models i'm going to show off
04:06those compare them to these and that's likely coming up in a future video so make sure to
04:10subscribe so you don't miss that all right now let's go ahead and jump inside the magic package
04:14but before we do actually let's talk a little bit about this funny little mic that i'm wearing on my
04:18hat thank you to hollyland for sponsoring this episode this is my go-to mic for a wearable mic and
04:23normally i wouldn't wear it on my hat but i'm actually trying to call it out this is like the
04:26tiniest little most convenient clip for you if you hope to make content online it has this little charge
04:32kit it can interface directly with your smartphone if that's how you record you can do interviews with
04:36a two-pack that's included everything stays charged in this little guy and it's got a tiny little
04:40receiver as well which can plug into your camera if you use a dedicated camera and you don't want
04:45to record directly into the smartphone at all it was in this little kit which charges up over usbc and
04:50then you've also got a travel bag to keep everything secure so i've been using their product for a while
04:54and i want to use it in this video just to show you how close you can get it to an actual studio
04:58microphone even though it's tiny and wearable and you can really just clip this mic anywhere and of course
05:03it's wireless check out the range like i can just keep moving but i still sound like i'm sitting
05:08right there and here's a little easter egg there's actually some video of apple's ceo tim cook wearing
05:13this exact m2s the last time he visited china so if you're looking for the perfect little microphone
05:19kit to pair with your eventual iphone 17 look at this check this out boom this little guy plugs in
05:25the bottom now you got a whole production facility with the phone that's already in your pocket and an
05:29entire microphone kit that also fits in your pocket it's perfect let's move on here to the main
05:34attraction of this video and the reason you clicked on this video inside this package right here i
05:38believe it's one of one at the moment a high quality production and hands-on with the closest sample yet
05:46to the iphone 17 pro max it's amazing the level of detail that they can go into on some of these things
05:52this one gets its own black bag velvety bag so there it is the iphone 17 pro max it's kind of
06:03weird looking honestly that's a little bit hard for me to believe some seem to suggest maybe it's
06:08inspired by the watch like are you feeling that kind of just compare from like which is more beautiful
06:14to you that's gonna take a little while to get used to with the two-tone thing it's definitely a
06:19departure people are gonna know that you're using the 17 pro max and not the 16 15 or otherwise at
06:26least initially i'm not sure that it's as good looking everybody always gets used to these designs
06:31but initially it's just this big gap and then having the flash all the way over there looking
06:36around the device otherwise very similar wow this even has a functioning look at that that's there's
06:41actually the pins in there for the type c this feels like a finished product honestly this is
06:46one of the nicest singular manufactured one-offs that i've ever received look at this thing anyway
06:52everything as far as the layout remains the same exactly the same even the sim tray is in the same
06:57location camera control power the camera modules themselves ah they look roughly the same size display
07:04size looks pretty much identical it's a huge phone still you can see it it's visibly thicker this new
07:09design at least in the non-camera sections if we want to do a quick wobble test
07:20okay slightly less wobble there it is guys the iphone 17 pro max are you guys happy with this what
07:28do you think like is it going to grow on you is that something you see as an improvement to the
07:33previous generation i mean we're talking just about the design obviously there are going to be hardware
07:37improvements the device is going to have the new chip it'll be faster the cameras are all said to
07:41be improved 48 megapixels all the way around they maintain their horizontal setup for the purpose of
07:46spatial video front-facing camera also gets an improvement reverse wireless charging is the
07:51rumor faster charging but design wise iphone 16 pro max or 17 pro max what do you think i don't know
07:59what people are going to think i honestly think some people could call it ugly i really do but it's an
08:03iphone you know there's going to be about a billion of these things hitting the market all at once
08:06and then people just going to get used to it and then a bunch of other companies will copy it and
08:10that's just the future of our lives whether we like it or not now the trend has been set we're
08:14going to see funny two-tone type of smartphones hitting the market and it's a market that desperately
08:19needs something to feel new anyhow been a long it's been a long time like this and then they're like
08:24oh well get slightly bigger better specs other improvements now we're titanium and then they're
08:30like now we're not at least again that's the rumor i mean this looks like aluminum anyway there you
08:34have it iphone 17 pro max the best look yet that you're going to get what it's going to be like
08:39to have it to hold it to buy it if you choose to pricing supposedly going to start around 1250 usd
08:46they're going to be pricey beasts and they're going to be out relatively shortly and as i mentioned at
08:50the beginning of this video i may have some other very nice models coming in shortly so make sure to
08:56subscribe if you want to see those comparatively and also if you're in the market for any kind of
09:01microphone improvement in your audio production whether you're shooting on a smartphone or a
09:05camera you got to check out our partners at hollyland they are making some really cool stuff
09:09and this little device is my favorite oh yeah and another thing maybe you don't love the two-tone
09:14design and you're going to put a case on it you could always go with a later case look at that one
09:19tone super thin so your newer fatter iphone doesn't have to feel any fatter than that so yeah if you
