Apple iPhone 17 Pro Max: The Best View Yet Of New Design Just Leaked
Updated May 31 with more analysis of the iPhone 17 Pro Max design in further leaks. When Apple releases its next iPhones this fall, it'll be clear whether reports of a thicker-than-ever iPhone Pro Max are true. How thick is too thick? A new video showing a dummy may give us clues and now the same source has provided us with a further picture of an iPhone 17 Pro dummy for comparison. More on that in a moment. It comes from prolific leaker Majin Bu, with the caption 'iPhone 17 Pro is beautiful,' followed by a 33-second video. To be clear, this is not the real thing, though it's a well-built mock-up. Assuming it's following the well-leaked details and dimensions (and assuming they are accurate in the first place), what does it tell us? This mock-up shows the rear camera panel in a shade that matches the rear of the iPhone, unlike most earlier leaks which showed the camera panel in black. Bloomberg's Mark Gurman reported in April that this wouldn't be the case. Here it looks like the camera panel, which stretches across the width of the phone, is made of glass, with the iPhone's color showing through. So, how thick is it? There have been several reports that the iPhone 17 Pro Max will be thicker than ever, potentially to provide a great benefit: increased battery life. In a separate post on X, Majin Bu has published an image showing and iPhone 16 Pro alongside a dummy of the iPhone 17 Pro, to show how the camera modules will change. It's hard to tell but it looks like the iPhone 16 Pro may have slightly larger lenses, though this could be down to the 16 Pro simply being nearer the camera. The most striking differences remain the full-width camera panel and the repositioning of the flash, LiDAR scanner and microphone. In the latest video, the dummy phone is shown from more or less every angle, including side-on. The iPhone 16 Pro Max measures 8.25mm from front to back, while reports have suggested this fall's replacement will be 8.725mm thick. That's a difference of 0.475mm, which isn't exactly gargantuan. As a result, it doesn't look much thicker, if at all, in the video. This may calm those who worry a thicker phone, especially of this screen size, could be too much in the hand. Of course, Apple will have thought of this and curved the edges, for instance, to mitigate this. Though since many people put this expensive piece of technology in a case, there's the thickness of the case to be factored in here, too. The dummy shows other elements just as you'd expect to see them, such as the volume rocker and Action button on the left edge, side button and Camera Control on the right. By the way, it looks like this dummy is a non-U.S. iPhone, as the SIM tray is there, where the mmWave antenna lozenge sits in American iPhones. Of course, if the dummy reflects accurately what the iPhone 17 Pro Max will look like, that SIM tray is likely to be the only cosmetic difference.

iPhone 17 Pro Max just shown off in hands-on video — and there's a big design trade-off
Most of the rumors around the next iPhone models have focused on the thinner, lighter iPhone 17 Air. And that's logical — it's the shiny new toy. But let's get back to one of the traditional iPhone models, the iPhone 17 Pro Max. Apple isn't forgetting the top-of-the-line model, and you probably shouldn't either. The iPhone 17 Pro Max is rumored to feature a new rear camera design with a 48MP telephoto camera, a front 24MP camera and dual video recording in the camera app — so you'll be able to shoot with the front and rear cameras at the same time. The flagship may also get vapor chamber cooling for better sustained performance and 12GB of RAM. But it appears there's a trade-off for these new goodies. A new dummy unit leak from Majin Bu on X (via 9To5Mac) shows off a much thicker phone than we're used to from Apple, especially with the phones trending towards cutting the fat. iPhone 17 Pro is beautiful 28, 2025 According to a social media video, the dummy iPhone 17 Pro Max appears to be thicker than the popular iPhone 16 Pro Max. Here's the size of each device (though remember, this is a dummy unit and the dimensions could change when the phone launches): Get instant access to breaking news, the hottest reviews, great deals and helpful tips. That's about half a millimeter thicker. While it's not much in the grand scheme of things, it shows that Apple isn't only concerned about making the thinnest, lightest phone possible. People who buy the Pro Max models (myself included) tend to prioritize the largest screen and the best features, and size isn't a significant concern. Most likely, Apple wants to cram as much battery as possible into its high-end phone, and making it even less than a millimeter thicker should allow it to offer a little more capacity, which will directly translate to more extended periods between charges and could certainly cement its place as one of the best phones. While Bu has a decent track record of Apple leaks (he correctly predicted the iPhone 16e name change, for example), you should still take this leak with a grain of salt, as nothing has been confirmed by Apple yet. We likely won't hear anything official about the iPhone 17 series until September, when the company is expected to unveil its next iPhone upgrades.

Future iPhone could match this incredible Galaxy S25 Ultra feature — here's what we know
When you buy through links on our articles, Future and its syndication partners may earn a commission. Apple's iPhones could soon feature a camera that matches even the Samsung Galaxy S25 Ultra. This leak comes from known source Digital Chat Station on Weibo, claiming that Apple is testing 200 MP cameras. The post doesn't contain much information about which model this is for, but if true, it could be an indication that Apple's rumored move from Sony sensors to Samsung has gone through. If this is the case, then it means that the iPhone 18 could feature a new '3-layer stacked' camera sensor from Samsung. Apple improving its cameras to 200MP would be a pretty major jump, as both the iPhone 15 series and the iPhone 16 series have kept the same 48MP main camera. However, Apple has managed to get the absolute most out of its cameras, with the iPhone 16 Pro Max appearing in our best camera phones list. Not only that, we also saw the device narrowly beating the Galaxy S25 Ultra when we put them through a 200-photo shootout. With that in mind, I'd be curious to see what Apple can do with 200MP. Although it may need such an upgrade to keep up with Samsung, as it is rumored to be working on developing a 500MP camera. It's unlikely that we'll see a 200MP main camera in the iPhone 17 series. However, we have seen several leaks about possible improvements for the phones. Rumors indicate that the iPhone 17 Pro Max model is tipped to get three 48MP cameras. Meanwhile, we don't know much about the rear camera layout for the iPhone 17, which has led many to speculate that the phone will keep the same 48MP main camera and 12MP Ultrawide. With that said, it looks like there could be an upgrade coming for the iPhone 17's front-facing camera. According to a recent leak, Apple could include a 24MP selfie camera for the iPhone 17, which is a marked improvement over the iPhone 16's 12MP selfie camera. There are also indications that Apple could include a camera lens with a variable aperture for the first time on an iPhone. The consensus also seems to be that the iPhone 17 Air will only feature a single 48MP main camera. As it stand we can't confirm the rumor about a 200MP main camera, so it's worth taking it with a grain of salt. However, Digital Chat Station has a pretty good history of accurate predictions, so we'll keep our eyes open. In the meantime, we're only a few weeks from WWDC 2025, where Apple will likely unveil iOS 19 and more. But if you're more focussed on hardware, make sure to check out our iPhone 17, iPhone 17 Air, iPhone 17 Pro and iPhone 17 Pro Max hubs for all the latest rumors about all 4 phones.
