Coming up on Hands on Tech, I've got the iPhone in hand and we will be talking about it today.

Stay tuned.

This is Twit. Hello and welcome to Hands On Tech. I am Micah Sargent and today we're doing what the name

says. We're going hands on with the technology. Yes, that's right. I on Friday got very excited

as I heard the doorbell ring and I ran to the door and then I had to tell

someone that I did not want to add solar panels to my roof.

But then later that same day, I heard the doorbell ring and I was very excited, so I ran

to the door.

And it turned out to just be a package from Amazon.

However, at the very end of the day, no doorbell rang this time, but I happened to be in the living

room, and I heard that subtle hum of a UPS truck, and I look outside and sitting on my porch, again, without any

doorbell ring or any, you know, needing to sign or anything like that is a couple of packages.

And I said, oh, that's it. That's the phone. So I ran outside, waved at the people, grabbed my packages, brought them inside. And I have it in my hands, the iPhone 17 Pro Max. I've got it in this beautiful deep blue color, which I think looks very good with this shot. I did not go with the orange for a couple of

reasons. Orange is just not my favorite color in general, but also I knew that Leo would be picking

up the orange one. So you'll be able to see that from him. But the first thing I want to talk about,

of course, is kind of a comparison. So I'll switch over here. And you can see here on the left,

I have the iPhone 16 Pro Max. And this, of course, is the 17 Pro Max. So Henry, the boy Chihuahua, is on the older phone.

Mizzi, the girl Chihuahua Fox Terrier, is on the newer phone as we kind of go through this.

And honestly, let me pop this out of the case. This is the cactus leather case that I've

talked about quite a bit on different shows. They are very similar

in feel. In look, they are not so similar because, as you can tell here on the 16 Pro Max, the older

phone, you've got this glass back and you've got the titanium sides.
