Apple iPhone 17 Pro Max To Pack Its Largest Battery Ever? Here's What The Reports Say
Last Updated: Apple iPhone 17 Pro Max could have some major changes this year but could it also get a battery upgrade? Apple iPhone 17 Pro Max is promising a host of upgrades when it launches in September but one of its biggest changes could also be its most important in years. The company seems to have focused on making the new iPhone 17 Pro lineup look different from its predecessor but the camera is also getting some neat additions, both on the software and hardware side. Now, a leak suggests Apple could change the internal dynamics of the iPhone 17 Pro Max by packing in a larger battery, its biggest on an iPhone ever. Apple iPhone 17 Pro Max Battery Upgrade The leak about the Apple iPhone 17 Pro Max getting a larger battery has been mentioned by a tipster from Korea this week. The leak even has the alleged iPhone 17 Pro Max render which suggests Apple could offer a 5,000mAh battery with its changed internals that allows the brand to accommodate a bigger unit. Last year's premium iPhone 16 Pro model had a 4,685mAh battery and if the mentioned bump does come through, it will be the same as Samsung's Galaxy S25 Ultra model that came out earlier this year. However, the charging speed for the new iPhone 17 Pro models is unlikely to change and no charger in the box once again. Apple is tipped to offer a new telephoto lens with up to 8x optical zoom which is higher than the 5x optical range available with the iPhone 16 Pro models. Apple is rumoured to be taking the camera bar route with the iPhone 17 Pro series and the leaks have vouched for the change. People have criticised the size of the camera bump for the last few years, this module will at least allow Apple to balance the profile at the back. The company is also expected to bring a new pro camera app which works for photos and videos. The report says the app will be designed to compete with other Pro-level iOS apps for the camera. Apple could bring a full set of 48MP sensors for its triple camera system with this year's iPhone 17 Pro and 17 Pro Max models. view comments First Published: August 18, 2025, 07:35 IST Disclaimer: Comments reflect users' views, not News18's.

Artha's Select Fund closes at Rs 432 crore to back top portfolio startups
Agencies Anirudh A Damani, founder, Artha India Venture Artha India Ventures has closed its new Artha Select Fund (ASF) at Rs 432 crore, overshooting its original Rs 330-crore target by 31%. The fund will back the top 15% of Artha's 135 portfolio companies, writing Series B and C cheques of around Rs 20 crore each. ASF plans to invest in 12–14 startups over the next four years across spacetech, fintech infrastructure, premium consumer goods, and applied AI. The fund is designed as a 'capital bridge' for India's missing middle, where many Series A–C companies struggle to scale due to limited growth capital. 'For founders, it means they don't have to run to market every time they want to raise. They already know there's an investor on the board willing to put more capital,' Anirudh A Damani, managing partner of the fund, told ET. He added that since Artha has worked with these companies for three to four years, its diligence costs are lower and founder relationships stronger than traditional Series B/C investors. The firm said Indian family offices and ultra-high-net-worth individuals anchor 80% of the ASF capital, with the remaining 20% from global LPs in Singapore, UAE, Mauritius, Hong Kong, Africa, and the USA. Artha has committed nearly 10% of the close comes days after Speciale Invest raised Rs 600 crore for its third fund, both signalling renewed LP appetite after a tough year. 'Fundraising was difficult for over a year due to the slowdown, but since March 2025, it has eased,' Damani Venture Fund, launched in 2018, was among India's first micro VC funds and now has 33 exits with AUM crossing Rs 1,200 crore. 'The micro VC category that we pioneered back in 2017-18 is now playing out. Family offices and smart investors realise that there is an opportunity for you to multiply your capital because the fund is small,' Damani said, adding that smaller funds have low operating through its various funds, has backed startups such as OYO Rooms, Rapido, Purplle and Leverage Edu. Under the new fund, it has so far evaluated six companies and selected only spacetech startup Agnikul Cosmos, with an investment commitment of Rs 20–40 crore.'We've turned down five others, in some cases, the investment committee wasn't convinced on unit economics or sector fit, and in others, we weren't comfortable with the lead investor. We're a winners' fund, not a follow-on fund, so the scrutiny is far higher,' Damani said. Elevate your knowledge and leadership skills at a cost cheaper than your daily tea.

Muted IT hiring to focus on skill-driven freshers
iStock Despite soft peddling on hiring mid and senior level employees, software services firms are set to hire cautiously with a focus on skill-driven freshers that is estimated to grow 3-5% compared to the first half (H1) of the year, recruitment experts said. A large part of the new hiring is likely to be focused around junior and entry level positions driven by lesser employee expenses and a steeper learning curve. 'Hiring may remain muted in H2 unless there is a clear uptick in client spending. Lateral hiring will be need-based, while fresh hiring could be calibrated to future deal visibility. Overall, H2 may see 3–5% hiring growth compared to H1, driven largely by demand for AI, cloud, and platform roles,' said Neeti Sharma, chief executive officer at mass staffing firm Teamlease Digital. Sharma said the hiring is concentrated at junior and niche mid-levels with in-demand skills. While the ongoing trade and macro uncertainties have slowed down business demand with cumulative workforce additions by top five IT firms - Tata Consultancy Services (TCS), Infosys, HCLTech, Wipro and Tech Mahindra – shrinking to below 5,000 in the April-June quarter. While overall net additions have been on the decline for the past four years from over 53,000 employees added in FY21, stronger deal momentum amid hopes of clarity on tariff policy in the second half of the year, and the need for specialised skills is making outsourcing firms optimistic about recruitment of freshers. For the full fiscal year that ends in March 2026, TCS and Wipro have continued to maintain fresher hiring targets of up to 40,000 and 12,000, respectively. Neck-to-neck rivals Cognizant – Indian-origin US-headquartered – and homegrown Infosys aim to hire 15,000-20,000 freshers each. Cognizant has over 70% of its employee base in India. This comes on the back of strong deal bookings expected to convert into execution sooner than later. For now, experts are unanimous that most IT services companies are focused on optimising costs, improving utilisation, and recalibrating talent for future-ready roles. Peer companies are not expected to follow suit expansively with TCS' July decision to lay off 2% of its employees – around 12,000 there are visible fissures of the slowing or deferred business impact.'Over the next couple of quarters, we expect a measured approach rather than a widespread wave of retrenchments. Hiring is concentrated at the entry level, a strategic move to manage costs and invest in future talent. Companies are equipping freshers with new-age skills through robust training programs,' said Aditya Narayan Mishra, MD & CEO of mass recruitment firm CIEL Sharma added that restructuring is 'more visible at mid to senior levels, especially in roles with lower billability, overlap due to M&A, or outdated tech stacks.'Mishra anticipates a slight uptick in hiring activity in H2, particularly in high-demand skill areas like AI/ML, cybersecurity, cloud engineering, and digital consulting.'With many AI pilots underway, companies will begin identifying the real ROI (return on investment) and start hiring talent that can scale viable projects. However, the growth will be selective and skills-led, not volume-driven,' Mishra said.A Randstad Digital 'India Talent Insights Report 2025' report by showed that AI and ML roles alone saw a 39% demand surge in 2024 despite overall IT hiring declining by 7% due to macroeconomic pressures and global points to a sustained shift that will continue over the next 12–18 months.'Tier-2 cities are gaining momentum, with locations like Chandigarh and Coimbatore leading growth in junior and mid-level IT hiring—driven largely by GCC expansion and distributed workforce models. We expect selective hiring in niche areas, a focus on outcome-based talent, and growing demand for AI-led transformation skills,' the report said.
