Apple iPhone 17 Pro Max (2025)

Apple's largest 2025 Pro iPhone finally moves to a fast USB-C port: it supports USB 3 at up to 10Gbps, roughly 20 times quicker than the base iPhone 17's 480Mbps — but only with a proper USB 3 cable, since the bundled cable is USB 2.0. That speed enables recording ProRes 4K video straight to external USB drives and rapid backups. The same port drives 4K external displays via DisplayPort Alt Mode and fast-charges at up to 40W. There's no 3.5mm jack, so wired audio needs a USB-C adapter.
