The more streamlined and lighter iPhone 17 has been the center of much of the conjecture regarding the future iPhone releases. Given that it is Apple’s newest and most intriguing offering, this emphasis makes sense. Apple hasn’t overlooked this premium model, the iPhone 17 Pro Max, and it’s imperative for you to bear it in mind as well.
The iPhone 17 Pro Max is expected to show a changed rear camera configuration with a 48MP telephoto lens, a 24MP front-facing camera, and the ability to record dual video using the camera software. Thereby enabling simultaneous shooting with both the front and back cameras.
Along with a remarkable 12GB of RAM, this flagship device might have vapor chamber cooling technology to improve continuous performance. Still, it looks like these intriguing new technologies might have a compromise connected with them.
A recent leak of a Majin Bu dummy unit on X shows a significantly thicker device than what Apple has come to expect, especially as the trend has been toward more slimmed-down designs. One social media video implies that the fake iPhone 17 Pro Max is thicker than the iPhone 16 Pro Max.
Here are the specifications of each model; remember that this is a dummy unit, and the real dimensions might change according to the phone’s debut:
This shows a thickness increase of around half a millimeter. Although it may seem little in the grand scheme of things, this suggests that Apple’s priority is not only making the lightest and thinnest device.
With size taking a lower priority, consumers who choose the Pro Max models usually place great weight on the largest screen and the most current features. Apple probably wants to maximize battery capacity inside its premium smartphone, so increasing the thickness by less than a millimeter would enable a modest improvement in battery life.
