Just a couple of weeks after its global debut, the iPhone 17 Pro Max has made its way to Nepal as well. Alongside the rest of the iPhone 17 lineup. Its design is easily the most polarizing they’ve done, but other than that, Apple’s latest flagship comes with some fresh updates too. So without any delay, let’s jump into all the new features, specifications, availability, and official price in Nepal of the iPhone 17 Pro Max.
iPhone 17 Pro Max Price in Nepal and Availability
The official iPhone 17 Pro Max price in Nepal starts at NPR 239,999 for the base 256GB variant, while its maxed-out 2TB model fetches a whopping NPR 397,999!

iPhone 17 Pro Max Overview
Display and design
The 17 Pro Max keeps the 6.9-inch OLED screen, same resolution as before, but it’s noticeably brighter. Up to 3,000 nits when you’re outdoors. Apple also mentions that this screen’s contrast is twice as good in sunlight. The display is now protected by a 3x more scratch-resistant Ceramic Shield 2 glass, while the back panel gets the Ceramic Shield treatment. The exact display resolution is 2868 x 1320 pixels at 460 ppi, with an anti-reflective coating and IP68 water resistance (up to 6m for 30 minutes).
Interestingly enough, the Cupertino-based tech giant has decided to ditch the more expensive Titanium body this time for a 7000-series aluminium body on both the iPhone 17 Pro and the iPhone 17 Pro Max. Apple specifically chose aluminium over titanium for better thermal management and heat dissipation, with the aluminium being heat-forged for strength and thermal conductivity.
The 17 Pro Max comes in “Cosmic Orange”, “Deep Blue”, and “Silver” color options. And as you can see, Apple has repositioned its logo a bit lower and replaced the usual square camera module with a long camera strip.
Thickness is up slightly to 8.75mm, mostly to accommodate the larger battery. And compared to the regular iPhone 17 Pro, the Pro Max is bigger, heavier, and has more battery life. That’s it. The other difference is that, unlike the 17 Pro, the iPhone 17 Pro Max is also available with 2TB of storage.

Performance
And powering it all is Apple’s new A19 Pro chip with a 6-core CPU, 6-core GPU, and 16-core Neural Engine. Memory sees a nice bump with 12GB RAM as well, compared to 8GB in the iPhone 16 Pro Max. Apple also added a vapor chamber for the first time on the iPhone, which reportedly delivers 40% better sustained performance. This vapour chamber technology uses deionised water sealed in a laser-welded aluminium chassis to dissipate heat evenly, whose purpose is to prevent throttling during tasks like gaming or just editing videos.
In addition to the A19 Pro, the iPhone 17 Pro Max also has Apple’s custom-designed N1 wireless networking chip for Wi-Fi 7, Bluetooth 6, and Thread connectivity.
Camera
Likewise, the iPhone 17 Pro Max also boasts a 48MP triple camera setup for the first time on an iPhone. That means the main, ultrawide, and telephoto lenses all use a 48MP sensor now.
The telephoto lens has a 100mm focal length, which offers 4x optical zoom and up to 8x optical-quality zoom with 3D sensor-shift OIS. Compared to how the 16 Pro Max had 5x optical zoom with a 12MP sensor. The telephoto now features a 56% larger sensor with an f/2.8 aperture, supporting both 5x optical zoom and 8x optical zoom, with up to 40x digital and continuous optical zoom.
The front camera has also been upgraded to an 18MP square-shaped sensor with “Centre Stage” tech that keeps your subject centred during selfies and videos. The iPhone 17 Pro Max supports 4K Dolby Vision video recording at up to 120fps. It also includes dual video recording capability for simultaneous front and rear capture. The iPhone 17 Pro Max now supports ProRes RAW recording, Apple Log 2, and Genlock to “precisely synchronize video across multiple cameras and inputs.”
Battery and the rest
This is also the first iPhone to cross the “5,000mAh battery” territory with a 5,088mAh cell. Apple now claims 33 hours of video playback, compared to 27 hours on the 16 Pro Max. And in select markets like Bahrain, Canada, Guam, Japan, Kuwait, Mexico, Oman, Qatar, Saudi Arabia, the UAE, the US, and the US Virgin Islands, the iPhone 17 Pro models are eSIM-only.
