Hot off the release of the latest blockbuster Apple product, fake iPhone 17 Pro Max<\/a> knockoffs are hitting the internet, and priced at just ten percent of the $1,200 for the real version, one man has put the clones to the test.<\/p>\n

Any Star Wars fanatic will tell you clones simply are not good. Those damn clankers couldn\u2019t organize screws from bolts when compared to the real deal.<\/p>\n

While tech duplicates are getting much better, thanks to markets in China like Temu and Alibaba, there\u2019s still a reason that you go with the original article.<\/p>\n

But, how close can a fake iPhone 17 actually get to the authentic thing?<\/p>\n

Fake iPhone 17 Pro Max stuns reviewer with near-perfect hardware<\/p>\n

The Apple iPhone 17 Pro Max<\/a> is one of the best products we\u2019ve seen land in years, accompanied by iOS 26 and compatibility features<\/a> across the brand.<\/p>\n

But China is catching up, as is proven with the $630 Xiaomi 17 Pro<\/a>.<\/p>\n

But now, tech gurus at Custom Adventurist<\/a> have been unboxing a fake iPhone 17, and the clone immediately impressed.<\/p>\n

At face value, the packaging, the chassis, and the appearance were identical to the Apple product, and even boasted a cool black version, which the iPhone 17 doesn\u2019t offer.<\/p>\n

The only difference is the location of the Apple logo.<\/p>\n

\"This<\/a>Custom Adventurist<\/p>\n

After firing up, there were some distinct similarities, although the fake\u2019s LED face was evident, something that Apple has long left in the past.<\/p>\n

The only major flaw was the weight and durability. <\/p>\n

The fake iPhone 17 Pro Max was \u2018lighter\u2019 and \u2018flexible\u2019, whereas Apple\u2019s new range of phones is the strongest<\/a> it has ever made.<\/p>\n

Apple tech is too advanced<\/p>\n

While the hardware appeared nearly perfect, the application clones and the camera display proved far inferior to those used by the US tech giant.<\/p>\n

Most notably, the camera saw the iPhone 17 Pro Max stand lightyears apart.<\/p>\n

The fake version had a standard photo and video function, but the incredible work Apple has done to its camera<\/a> over the years saw it become incomparable to the basic lens.<\/p>\n

Certain Apps, such as the Store itself, were defunct and simply served as an aesthetic dupe, which is a given, as this isn\u2019t an actual Apple product. <\/p>\n

Still, there were some working functions, such as the clock and reminders.<\/p>\n

\"This<\/a>Custom Adventurist<\/p>\n

Apple products are facing more heat in the duplication market, following the emergence of Temu, and this isn\u2019t the only model that has seen convincing knockoffs appear<\/a>. <\/p>\n
