Apple is preparing to launch the iPhone 17 Pro Max, a flagship model and is expected to bring the most impressive battery life ever on an iPhone.
Although there are still a few months left until the expected launch date in September 2025, leaks have painted a clear picture that this will be Apple's most battery-powered iPhone.
According to the leaked account named Instant Digital - a famous technology leaker on Weibo (China), the iPhone 17 Pro Max will likely be equipped with a battery of nearly 5,000mAh.
If this information is correct, this will be the largest battery ever appeared on the iPhone, marking Apple's big step forward in improving its usage time, a factor that has always been of top interest to users.
Compared to previous generations, the battery capacity of the iPhone 17 Pro Max has increased significantly. Accordingly, the iPhone 14 Pro Max has a 4,323mAh battery, the iPhone 15 Pro Max has a slight increase to 4,422mAh and the iPhone 16 Pro Max has a 4,676mAh.
With an area of approximately 5,000mAh, the upcoming iPhone model will have an increase of nearly 10% compared to the previous version. This is a big number in today's smartphone world.
However, to achieve this, Apple is said to have accepted to exchange: the iPhone 17 Pro Max will be thicker and heavier. The size changes may not be significant for everyday users, but it shows that Apple's clear direction is to prioritize battery life rather than maintain an ultra-thin design.
A larger battery means longer battery life, but to make a difference, Apple needs to combine software optimization on iOS 26, use the new A19 Pro chip and improve screen power management.
At that time, users can expect the iPhone 17 Pro Max to be a device strong enough to operate for a long time without having to recharge a backup charger.
Apple has not confirmed any information yet, but as the launch date approaches, the leaks will become increasingly obvious. If predictions come true, the iPhone 17 Pro Max will continue to maintain its position as the iPhone with the most "buffalo" battery, something many users have been looking forward to for many years.
