iPhone 17 Pro Max: The beginning of July 2025 has brought great news for iPhone users. Rumors and reports are indicating that the upcoming iPhone 17 Pro Max may bring a tremendous upgrade in terms of battery. It is being told that this time Apple is preparing to give 5,000mAh or even bigger battery in the iPhone, leaving its old trend. If this happens, then this will be the first time that such a big battery will be available in an iPhone.
Big change in iPhone 17 & battery
According to the popular tipster “Instant Digital”, the iPhone 17 Pro Max will be given a battery of about 5,000mAh. So far Apple has been reluctant to give bigger batteries in its iPhones, especially in comparison to Android smartphone brands. But now it seems that the company is changing its strategy on this front as well. This upgrade can be considered a direct answer to the increasing needs and competition of the users.
If you look at the iPhone 16 Pro Max, it had a 4,676mAh battery, while the previous iPhone 15 Pro Max had a 4,422mAh battery. This means that every year Apple was giving a little upgrade. But this time the iPhone 17 Pro Max can get about 300mAh more battery power, which will be an increase of about 7%. Hearing this will definitely give relief to those users who often complain about the battery life of the iPhone.
What will be the benefit if the battery increases?
Now that the battery is getting bigger, its direct impact will be seen on the real-life performance of the iPhone. Especially when it has Apple’s new A19 Pro chip and Qualcomm’s Snapdragon X80 modem, the power consumption will be controlled even better. Also, the new Adaptive Power feature that has come in iOS 26 will also help in making the battery last longer. Some experts believe that the new iPhone 17 Pro Max can give up to 35 hours of video playback on a single charge.
iPhone 17 & Slight change in thickness
Now that the battery is getting so big, it is obvious that the design of the phone will also have to change a bit. Rumors also say that the iPhone 17 Pro Max will be slightly thicker than before. While the thickness of the iPhone 16 Pro Max was 8.25mm, the thickness of the iPhone 17 Pro Max can go up to 8.725mm. That is, now Apple is giving more importance to the battery and is making changes according to more use instead of thin design.
Why was this change by Apple necessary?
Actually, Android brands like Samsung, OnePlus and Xiaomi have already been making phones with more than 5,000mAh battery for years. In such a situation, Apple also had to understand the demand of the market. On top of this, AI features are also increasing, which consume more battery. In such a situation, Apple has been forced to take a big step towards battery.
What to expect in the end?
Although there has been no official announcement from Apple yet, but constant leaks and reports are indicating that the iPhone 17 Pro Max will indeed set a new benchmark in terms of battery. And if this happens, it will prove to be a big gift for iPhone users.
The launch of the iPhone 17 Series is expected as usual in September 2025 this year. Now it remains to be seen what new things Apple brings this time not only in the battery but also in other features.
