The Apple iPhone 17 Pro Max 512GB Deep Blue is the Korea version of Apple’s largest Pro phone, and that detail matters more than it seems. Unlike the eSIM-only Japan and US models, the Korean iPhone 17 Pro Max keeps a nano-SIM tray alongside eSIM, so you can drop in your existing SIM card and go. Apple Korea rates it at up to 37 hours of video playback and 231 g. It pairs that with 512GB of storage and Deep Blue, the darkest of the three Pro colours.

Korea version: a real SIM slot
According to Apple Korea, the Apple iPhone 17 Pro Max 512GB Deep Blue supports dual SIM with a nano-SIM and an eSIM, and it can also run two eSIMs. In practice the Apple iPhone 17 Pro Max 512GB Deep Blue needs no visit to your operator: move your current card from your old phone and the line works. It also helps if you travel and like to buy a local prepaid card at the airport, or if you keep a second number on an eSIM. Battery figures differ slightly from eSIM-only models because of the tray: up to 37 hours of video playback and 33 hours streamed, per Apple Korea.
Deep Blue on the Korean model
The finish on the Apple iPhone 17 Pro Max 512GB Deep Blue is a dark navy over the aluminium unibody and Ceramic Shield back. In an office or at night it passes for black; in sunlight it turns clearly blue, with the frame edges showing the most colour. The Apple iPhone 17 Pro Max 512GB Deep Blue suits people who want something more personal than black without anything loud, and it pairs well with dark leather, navy and grey. Like any dark finish it shows fingerprints and dust more readily than Silver, so a wipe now and then or a case keeps it looking new.
512GB for people who photograph a lot
The Apple iPhone 17 Pro Max 512GB Deep Blue makes sense if your camera roll is your archive. Three 48MP rear cameras, a Fusion Main at 24 mm, an Ultra Wide at 13 mm and a 4x Telephoto at 100 mm, all capture high-resolution images, and ProRAW files from them are large. The Apple iPhone 17 Pro Max 512GB Deep Blue lets you keep years of full-resolution photos on the phone rather than relying on optimised storage, which is useful when you need an original quickly for printing or editing. Video in 4K Dolby Vision up to 120 fps adds up fast too.
Zoom and portraits
The Apple iPhone 17 Pro Max 512GB Deep Blue gives you a range of focal lengths without changing lenses: 13 mm Ultra Wide, 24 mm main, a 48 mm 2x optical-quality option, the 100 mm 4x Telephoto and an 8x optical-quality crop at 200 mm. Apple quotes up to 40x digital zoom for photos and 15x for video. The 4x and 8x settings are the useful ones for portraits, sports from the stands and details on buildings. The 18MP front camera has Center Stage and Retina Flash for selfies and video calls.
Battery, charging and build
Apple Korea lists up to 37 hours of video playback for the Apple iPhone 17 Pro Max 512GB Deep Blue, which still covers a long day of heavy use. With a 40W USB-C adapter or higher it reaches 50% in about 20 minutes, and MagSafe or Qi2 charging tops out at 25W. Apple does not include an adapter. The phone is rated IP68 to 6 m for up to 30 minutes under IEC 60529, has a Ceramic Shield 2 front, and weighs 231 g, a little lighter than the 233 g eSIM-only model.
Who This Is Not For
The Apple iPhone 17 Pro Max 512GB Deep Blue Korea version is not for anyone who wants the absolute longest battery life of the range: eSIM-only models are rated two hours higher. Korean-market iPhones keep the camera shutter sound on; Apple does not mention this on its spec page, so expect it. The dark finish shows fingerprints. At 231 g and 6.9 inches it is a two-handed phone. If you rarely film or shoot RAW, 256GB costs less and is enough.
