Yes, the iPhone 17 Pro Max works with the Rode Wireless GO II — but only RODE's own support page says iOS devices require the RØDE.
Rode Wireless GO II outputs via USB-C; iPhone 17 Pro Max has USB-C. RODE's own FAQ separates 'any device with a USB-C input' (needs SC16) from 'an iOS device, such as an iPhone or iPad' (needs SC15 or SC19) -- a distinction by device type, not port type. RODE has not updated this guidance to address USB-C iPhones specifically.
