With the iPhone 17 series, especially the iPhone 17 Pro Max, which is anticipated to please its devoted supporters, Apple is making a big leap. According to reports, the Cupertino-based tech giant is reportedly expanding the battery capacity of the iPhone 17 Pro Max. Although the battery’s size has increased significantly, specific adjustments to its proportions will be necessary.
According to reputable Weibo leaker Instant Digital, the iPhone 17 Pro Max could have a 5,000mAh battery. In a sense, it will be the first iPhone to reach the 5,000 battery capacity milestone.
The iPhone 16 Pro Max made its debut with a 4,685mAh battery last year. The iPhone 17 Pro Max is anticipated to have a 6% longer battery life than its predecessor.
A significant change in approach is anticipated when Apple equips the iPhone 17 Pro Max with a larger battery than its “Plus” counterpart for the first time, indicating a greater focus on power users, particularly content creators who depend on longer screen-on durations for mobile video creation and editing.
However, there may be a catch to this generational milestone: some sources suggest that the iPhone 17 Plus may not even be included in the lineup. According to rumours, Apple will instead release the new iPhone 17 Air, which will sacrifice battery power for compactness. The Air, the thinnest model in the iPhone 17 series, is expected to appeal to consumers who value a svelte design over robustness.
