The iPhone 17 Pro Max is without a doubt the most awaited smartphone right now. While several smartphone brands are leaning towards slimmer phones, Apple seems to be going the opposite way. A user named Instant Digital on the Chinese microblogging site Weibo has revealed some details about Apple’s upcoming flagship device. Based on the latest leak, the iPhone 17 Pro Max could sport a 5,000mAh battery, which is bigger than the one on the iPhone 16 Pro Max, making it the biggest ever battery on an iPhone. This means Apple could opt for a bulky design for its top-of-the-line phone, prioritising what the users want the most – extended battery life. The iPhone 17 Pro Max is likely to have a thickness of 8.725 mm, up from 8.25 mm on the iPhone 16 Pro Max. Although the size difference may seem minute, the increased thickness might allow Apple to pack in a much bigger battery. Reportedly, the new device will also offer battery life of up to 35 hours. This can also be attributed to the A19 Pro chip’s efficiency gains, which means that the iPhone 17 Pro could last longer than the current Pro Max model.Also Read | Apple iPhone 17 series: iPhone 17 Air to ProMotion display, everything we know so farThe iPhone 17 Pro is anticipated to have the same size as its predecessors, which means the upcoming phone may have the same battery capacity as the current gen model.
