Which should you buy?
These two are nearly even on the Mars Score (69.2 vs 67.5). The decision isn't about overall quality — both clear the bar — it's about which specific trade-offs fit your use.
Pick the Magic7 Lite if your top frustration with your current device is running out of charge before the day ends — endurance is the lead spec here. The biggest gaps in its favor are main camera, wired charging, battery capacity, among others.
Pick the iPhone 17 Pro Max if the display is what you stare at all day — refresh rate, brightness, or sharpness is where the difference will be most visible. Its strongest claims are antutu, ram, pixel density, among others.
Both ship with comparable refresh rate, 5g support, water resistance, so those specs don't separate the two — focus on the differences below.
Bottom line: there is no wrong answer here — match the spec advantages to how you actually use the product. The Mars Score parity tells you both are well-rounded; the differences are about trade-offs, not quality.
