will there be a black iPhone 17 pro MAX

We are just Apple users, like you, in this user to user community forum, and do not know what Apple may be planning in the future, but based on past experience, I would guess the answer to your question is no.

However ...

Apple does offer a nice black case that may suit your need:

iPhone 17 Pro TechWoven Case with MagSafe - Black - Apple

As you know, this is user-to-user site. We are all users here, just like you.

No one on this site would know what Apple plans might be and Apple never tips their hand until they are ready.

If you are looking for guesses, my guess based on looking at years of Apple new product introductions would be "no".

As users only, we can't answer that question. If I were to guess, however, I'd say no. Apple released three colors, Silver, Orange and Dark Blue. Apple would likely anger those who would have preferred a black Pro model, but went ahead and purchased a different color, if they all of the sudden came out with a black model at a later date. Again, just a guess, but I wouldn't let the color be the determining factor on buying a phone to begin with. If you want a black Pro, slap a black case on it. And the Dark Blue, which I saw in the Apple Store yesterday is very dark and will look black in a lot of lighting conditions.
