Apple iPhone 17 Pro Max A3257 1TB in Deep Blue — Wholesale A/B Stock
Sized for enterprise device fleets, corporate refresh programs, and procurement teams, the Apple iPhone 17 Pro Max is Apple's September 2025 large-screen Pro model, running the A19 Pro processor with 12GB of RAM. A 6.9-inch LTPO Super Retina XDR OLED display with 120Hz refresh fronts the device, and the rear carries a 48MP wide camera, a 48MP periscope telephoto, and a 48MP ultra-wide, with ProRes and ProRes RAW recording and an 18MP front camera. The 4,823mAh battery charges over USB-C (about 50% in 20 minutes with a USB PD charger) or by 25W MagSafe and Qi2, and the aluminum frame with Ceramic Shield 2 front is rated IP68. It shipped with iOS 26; Apple publishes no software update commitment. The handset measures 163.4 x 78 x 8.8 mm and weighs 233 g. This lot is the A3257 (the United States and Puerto Rico model, dual eSIM with no physical SIM tray) in the 1TB configuration, Deep Blue, unlocked and graded A/B Stock.
This model fits standard-issue business fleets, field operations, and refresh programs, and the 1TB tier lets imaging and video teams store long recording sessions on the device between uploads. An IP68 rating supports rollout to warehouse, field, and healthcare settings, with immersion protection to 6 m for 30 minutes. The A/B grade mix balances unit cost against condition, a common choice for standard staff issue where devices are cased on day one; the US eSIM-only build supports remote line provisioning for distributed staff.

Once supervised, devices are managed through Apple MDM suites such as Jamf Pro, Microsoft Intune, Omnissa Workspace ONE, and Kandji, with Managed Apple Accounts, app distribution, per-app VPN, and Activation Lock management. Face ID and the Secure Enclave protect credentials and on-device data. On-device specifications are listed in the Technical Specifications below.
