iPhone 17 Pro Max Leaks: Apple tries to bring something new and great with every new iPhone, and the discussions that are coming out now suggest that the iPhone 17 Pro Max will probably bring the biggest design and feature upgrade ever. It is expected to launch in September 2025 and many big leaks have surfaced about its look, camera and internal changes. So let’s understand in simple language what all the iPhone 17 Pro Max is going to change and why it can become a strong contender for your next dream phone.
Dynamic Island leaves and Punch-Hole display welcome
The biggest and most surprising thing is that this time Apple is going to remove the Dynamic Island in its iPhone 17 Pro and Pro Max. Yes, this time a completely new punch-hole display can be seen in the iPhone. This means that only a small round cutout will be visible on the screen, which will have only the front camera.
Apple will hide the rest of the Face ID system under the display, which means for the first time in an iPhone, Face ID will not be visible but will work at full capacity. This technology is being called HIAA – Hole-in-Active-Area and it will make the screen cleaner and more modern than ever before.
It is believed that this style of Apple will go further to the iPhone 18 Pro, which means this can become the new norm in the coming years. If you are among those who did not like the notch, then this is a good news for you.
Complete makeover of the camera on the back
This time a big change will also be seen in the camera design of the iPhone 17 Pro Max. Apple is thinking of giving a long horizontal bar in place of the square shaped camera module till now, which will almost completely cover the top part of the phone.
This design may look a bit like the “visor-style” camera of Google Pixel, but Apple is going to make it more premium in its style. This new camera bar will not only look good, but through this big changes are also being made inside the camera. Bigger sensors, better lens arrangement and a powerful camera performance are expected.
From hardware to camera and software, everything is being leveled up in the iPhone 17 Pro Max. Talking about performance, it will use the A19 Pro chip, which will be either on 3nm technology or maybe even more advanced 2nm. This means that this chip will be faster, more power-efficient and fully ready for AI.
The RAM in the iPhone 17 Pro Max can also be increased to 12GB, which will give new heights to multitasking, AI processing and smooth performance.
The camera is better than professional cameras
This time the camera system is being completely redesigned. All three cameras at the back – wide, ultrawide and telephoto – will now be 48MP. This will be the first time that such high resolution is being given in all the lenses. This will make the quality of the photo even more tremendous – especially in low-light and zoom shots.
Talking about the front camera, it can also be upgraded from 12MP to 24MP. This means that now the quality of selfies and video calls will also be double blast.
Some reports are also saying that this time 8K video recording facility can be available in iPhone – which is a big deal, especially for content creators. Apart from this, Apple can also bring a new multi-cam video mode, which will allow recording from multiple cameras simultaneously – like front and rear together.
Micro-lens technology can also be used in the new camera, which will make low-light photography even better.
With a faster processor
This time a new Vapor Chamber cooling system has also been revealed in the iPhone 17 Pro Max. This will prevent the phone from heating up too much, especially during long gaming sessions or 4K/8K video recording. Many premium Android phones already have this, and now Apple is also going to include it.
A glimpse of the new age in display and connectivity too
Even though the punch-hole is a big change in the display this time, the rest of the things will also remain top-notch. 120Hz pOLED screen, HDR support and brightness up to 4500 nits – so that your screen will keep shining in all conditions.
Talking about connectivity, Wi-Fi 7 and perhaps Apple’s own designed new 5G modem will also be in this phone – which will make the internet and calling experience even better.
Body also changed
Changes are also expected in the body of the iPhone 17 Pro Max. Now a lighter aluminum frame can be given instead of titanium, which will make the phone thinner and lighter. A combination of glass and aluminum can now be seen on the back. Dust and water resistant ratings like IP68 are expected to remain intact.
There may be a shock in the price
With so many upgrades, new technology and better build, it has also come to light that this time the price of iPhone 17 Pro Max may be a little higher. But if seen, according to what Apple is offering, the increase in price is understandable.
