iPhone 17 Pro Max Launched with 400MP Camera, 512GB & 1TB Storage – The Most Powerful 6G Smartphone Yet

That headline about the “iPhone 17 Pro Max launching with a 400 MP camera, 512 GB & 1 TB storage, and 6G” appears to be false or greatly exaggerated—there’s no credible evidence to support a 400 MP sensor or any reference to 6G connectivity.
