Just bought the iPhone 17 Pro Max and I’ve had bad experiences with the Apple Store screen protector it cracked really fast. On my 16 Pro I ended up without any protection, and after one fall the screen cracked and I never fixed it so I had to replace the phone.
This time I want the best screen protector for iPhone 17 Pro Max, something strong but easy to install. I’m also thinking about a privacy screen protector for iPhone 17 Pro Max so people stop looking at what I’m doing in public.
Any recommendations for a reliable iPhone 17 Pro Max screen protector (clear, privacy, or tough edge-to-edge)?
What should I look for in an iPhone 17 Pro screen protector?
The best iPhone 17 Pro screen protectors are made of 9H hardness tempered glass. They will fit within your budget, include an easy applicator, and, ideally, come in a multi-pack for quick replacement should that be required.
Does the iPhone 17 Pro Max need a screen protector?
Yes, a screen protector for the iPhone 17 Pro Max is a good idea. While the iPhone 17 Pro Max is by far the best iPhone Pro Max released to date, its screen is not immune to damage, be it from an unfortunate encounter with an errant key or a drop.
The ideal screen protector is made of tempered glass and will chip or crack before your iPhone screen. This is ideal because that action absorbs energy that would otherwise be directed at your iPhone's screen. It is much more convenient to replace a relatively inexpensive screen protector that just saved your screen than to deal with AppleCare and associated downtime while the phone is potentially shipped off for repair.
Will an iPhone 16 Pro screen protector fit an iPhone 17 Pro?
A screen protector meant for the iPhone 16 Pro will not properly fit an iPhone 17 Pro due to their slightly different dimensions. The iPhone 16 Pro is slightly narrower and shorter than the brand new iPhone 17 Pro.

I know it is a bit early, but I am finally upgrading from my iPhone 14 Pro Max and planning to pre-order the iPhone 17 Pro Max in the next few days. Last time, I ordered a few screen protectors for my 14 Pro Max and most of them turned out to be low quality. Some cracked easily, others had bad clarity or started peeling at the edges.
This time, I want to get it right and order the best iPhone 17 Pro Max screen protector from the start. I figured it is a good time to do some research before everything sells out after launch.
If you had good experiences with screen protector brands when pre-ordering your previous iPhones, which ones would you trust again for the iPhone 17 Pro Max screen protector? I am looking for something that is durable, scratch-resistant, and fits perfectly. (EASY TO INSTALL ofc)
Let me know what brand you used before that actually delivered good quality. I want to avoid repeating the same mistake and get a solid iPhone 17 Pro screen protector this time. Any tips for the best screen protector for iPhone 17 would be appreciated.
