The iPhone 17 Pro Max is scheduled to launch in September as Apple's flagship model. According to a source, the rumored device might have a battery increase over the current flagship, the iPhone 16 Pro Max. The alleged flagship's battery capacity might surpass 5,000mAh, making it the first iPhone in the Cupertino-based tech giant's range to do so.
iPhone 17 Pro Max Battery Upgrade
In a post on the Chinese microblogging site Weibo, tipster Instant Digital (machine translated from Chinese) offered data regarding the iPhone 17 Pro Max's battery size. It is rumored to have a battery capacity of 5,000mAh, which is a first for Apple.
While the Cupertino-based tech giant often advertises screen time rather than capacity, the iPhone 16 Pro Max is said to have a 4,676mAh battery. The business claims it can provide up to 33 hours of video playing and 105 hours of audio playback on a single charge.
Thus, the bigger battery of the rumored iPhone 17 Pro Max is likely to provide additional hours of use. If this speculation is genuine, the iPhone 17 Pro Max will surpass all previous iPhone models in terms of battery capacity.
According to previous rumors, Apple will equip the iPhone 17 Pro variants with a new vapour chamber cooling mechanism, replacing the graphite sheets now used for heat dissipation. This is because the A19 SoC is said to "generate substantial heat" during graphics-intensive applications like AI inference.
The new iPhone series is also expected to deliver a significant performance boost. Leaked Geekbench listings for the iPhone 17 Pro and iPhone 17 Pro Max show single and multi-core scores of over 4,000 and 10,000, respectively. They are likely to come with the A19 Pro processor and 12GB of RAM. This SoC might be built utilizing TSMC's third-generation 3nm technology, N3P.
