4 things the iPhone 17 Pro Max needs to fix
We are now nearing the launch of the next premium iPhones, the iPhone 17 series, in September. We've heard quite a lot about them from rumors and leaks, but as we all know, Apple can be secretive about its new products, so we may not have heard the full story just yet. The biggest and baddest phone from the lineup will be the iPhone 17 Pro Max – the best from Apple. This would be the contender to fight the Galaxy S25 Ultra for the title of the best flagship phone, and the Pro Max model is usually the model with the most features. Still, there's more to be desired, at least in some aspects. So, here's what I'd love for Apple to address with the upcoming premium iPhone. Alright, this one is a loose thread in Apple's gorgeous iPhone tapestry, and we have not forgotten. And yep, the promise that was left unfulfilled doesn't even sound poetic at this point. Apple needs to really kick things up a notch with the iPhone 17 Pro Max and Apple Intelligence in order to compensate for the embarrassment it suffered when it couldn't deliver on what was promised. Unfortunately, as much as we'd love for it to give us what it said it would, judging by the lack of any specific talk about the context-aware Siri during WWDC 2025, when iOS 26 was introduced, we may not see it this year. Despite that, this is one of the things Apple needs to iron out with its iPhones, unless it wants to be left eating the dust of the Galaxies. Apple is behind competitors in terms of charging speeds. | Image Credit – PhoneArena This one could be the biggest elephant in the room. The iPhone 17 Pro Max is rumored to get a bigger battery cell, which is great news. But come on, it's 2025, and iPhones are still on the slow charging side. Apple probably knows this, so that's why it doesn't officially list wired charging speeds in the specs of its phones. During our tests with the iPhone 16 Pro Max, we found that when not being used, the iPhone 16 Pro Max could charge at 26W, with a spike of 38W charging when being used for a demanding task (gaming, performance benchmarks). Still... phones like the OnePlus 13 support 100W wired charging (80W in the U.S.). Other phones by Chinese brands are also rocking astronomical charging speeds. The Asus ROG Phone 9 supports 65W wired charging. The Galaxy S25 Ultra , which is also considered somewhat 'slow' compared to those, sports 45W, which is still more than the iPhone 16 Pro Max . And with the bigger rumored battery cell for the 17 Pro Max (could go to 5,000mAh according to rumors), slow charging may become even more of a problem. And in this day and age, it could become a serious annoyance. This one is somewhat inevitable when we're talking about a huge 6.9-inch phone. The iPhone 16 Pro Max weighs in at 227 grams, while the Galaxy S25 Ultra is lighter at 218 grams. We've had a rumor that Apple may ditch the titanium frame on the Pro models (a rather strange decision given how much of a big deal it pronounced the titanium frame for back in 2023). Apple may opt for an aluminum frame, which, alright, is lighter than titanium. But less durable. That rumor should be taken with a grain of salt. But whether Cupertino chooses aluminum or titanium, it should do something about the weight of the Pro Max model. With the rumored bigger battery, this phone may become a tad too heavy to carry as a daily driver. Hopefully, Apple has some trick up its sleeve to ensure the iPhone 17 Pro Max won't feel like a bag of stones. Also, there's the growing trend of slim and lightweight phones, and Apple should be able to, at least somewhat, match what the industry is doing. Pro-branded iPhones have been rather conservative in terms of color options in recent years, while non-Pro iPhones have been rocking all sorts of interesting shades. Now, luckily, rumor has it the iPhone 17 Pro Max may add an orange color, which, if true, is super exciting. Of course, wishing for all the fancy non-Pro iPhone colors to show up on the Pro models is a bit much. But also, always sporting super-serious black, white, and gray variations (with a sprinkle of warmth here and there) isn't fun either. A catchy color option or two won't be too bad.

iPhone 17 Pro's biggest display upgrade may not be canceled after all — say goodbye to screen glare
We've heard all kinds of rumors about the iPhone 17 Pro so far, but now it sounds like there may be an extra display upgrade. According to a source speaking to MacRumors, Apple suppliers might have finally figured out how to mass produce anti-reflective glass — and we could see it on some of the 2025 iPhones. We've heard various leaks about anti-reflective coating on iPhones for a while, including the possibility of it landing on the iPhone 17 series. Last we heard, Apple had killed the feature, in part because of the amount of time needed to coat the glass with the new coating. Clearly those problems have been figured out. Or at least Apple's able to produce enough anti-glare screens that it can add them to both iPhone 17 Pro and iPhone 17 Pro Max. The report claims the iPhone 17 and iPhone 17 Air won't be quite so lucky. The obvious benefits to this new display is that iPhone 17 Pro should finally be able to handle bright light a lot better. By reducing the glare reflected back at the user, it should allow them to see what's on screen with greater ease — even without the display brightness ramped up. The obvious benefits to this new display is that iPhone 17 Pro should finally be able to handle bright light a lot better. Other phone companies employ this kind of technology on their phones, notably Samsung. However Samsung has had issues with the anti-glare coating peeling off after an extended period of time. Hopefully Apple's process doesn't suffer the same issues a year or two down the line. Past reports also suggest that the new coating may improve the durability of iPhone screens, including improved scratch resistance. Considering how well the current Ceramic Shield technology holds up to damage, that's really quite impressive. Personally as someone with an iPad that also lacks the anti-glare glass coating, I find that external lights can really ruin the experience. So the sooner all iPhones get the new glass, the better. Sadly the non-Pro models may have to wait a year or two more — as is often the case. Get instant access to breaking news, the hottest reviews, great deals and helpful tips. We'll have to wait until September to find out for sure, and the current rumor is that the iPhone 17 series will debut on the week of September 8.

Apple iPhone 17 processor leaked: Check out the expected specifications, price, launch date, and more
iPhone 17 leaks: iPhone 17 A19 chipset leak has reignited anticipation for Apple's upcoming iPhone series, suggesting a bold performance leap across the lineup. Easy-to-follow rumours reveal that the next-generation A19 chip will power both the standard iPhone 17 and the ultra-thin iPhone 17 Air, while the premium iPhone 17 Pro and Pro Max are tipped to include the high-end A19 Pro variant built on advanced 2nm tech. Analysts point out that this chip change signals a bigger optimization than previously expected, replacing earlier assumptions around the A18 chip. With Apple expected to unveil the new models at its usual September 2025 event, excitement is mounting over what could be the most powerful and efficient iPhone yet, complete with smarter multitasking, enhanced battery life, and the promise of Apple Intelligence at scale. Keen to see what else lies ahead? iPhone 17 launch date in India (Rumoured) In his weekly newsletter, Mark Gurman of Bloomberg recently revealed that Apple is likely to host the launch event the week of September 8. Apple typically announces iPhone 17 series on Tuesdays rather than Fridays. Gurman thinks the incident will probably happen on Tuesday, September 9, or Wednesday, September 10. However, Monday, September 8, is still a possibility. Out of respect, Apple usually doesn't schedule activities on September 11. iPhone 17 processor leaked Apple analyst Jeff Pu published an investor note indicating that the A19 chipset may power the upcoming iPhone 17 (via MacRumlours). "We now expect the iPhone 17 model to be equipped with A19 (vs. earlier expectation of A18)," Pu wrote in the memo. The expert adds that the same processor will be used in the rumored thin iPhone 17 Air model. However, the 19 Pro chipset is probably going to power the Pro versions, which include the iPhone 17 Pro and iPhone 17 Pro Max. Later this year, in September, Apple is probably going to reveal the iPhone 17 series. Apple may implement some significant display modifications for all models, according to reports. Apple is reportedly planning lower bezels, a revamped Dynamic Island, and ProMotion compatibility for all of the lineup's models, according to a recent leak from tipster Digital Chat Station on Weibo. iPhone 17 expected specifications Display Size Additionally, the iPhone 17's 6.3-inch display will be marginally bigger than the iPhone 16's 6.1-inch display. A 6.7-inch screen is rumoured for the iPhone 17 Air, a 6.3-inch screen for the iPhone 17 Pro, and a 6.9-inch screen for the iPhone 17 Pro Max. A Repositioned Logo In contrast to the earlier generations, the Apple logo would now be located on the lower part of the rear. In addition, a new version of the Apple Magsafe charger would enable faster Magsafe wireless charging for the 17-inch Pro models. Apple is Using Aluminum Frames Again There are rumors that the iPhone 17 Pro variants may return to using an aluminum frame. This would be a significant change because, whereas the prior phones had titanium frames, the new 17 is anticipated to have a partially glass and aluminum design. In addition to this, there have been some previous leaks regarding the phone's display. Camera Camera improvements differ depending on the model. Three cameras are included with the iPhone 17: a 48MP wide camera, a 12MP ultra-wide camera, and a 24MP front camera. The smaller iPhone 17 Air may only have a single 48MP rear and a 24MP front camera due to space constraints. Colorways According to reports, Apple is exploring new purple and green hues for the next generation of iPhones, the 17th model. Apple is leaning toward purple, and just one of the new hues will be introduced to the roster. Memory Apple's Pro models will allow greater background app retention and speedier performance thanks to their 12GB of RAM. For improved everyday multitasking and user experience, iPhone 17 models will come standard with 8GB of RAM. Optimization of Software According to Apple, AI-based software improvements will actively tap into user experience data and ensure the user has a battery life that can easily last the entire day. In addition, Apple has demonstrated its intention to employ a high-density battery to give the phone a longer life. According to a recent discovery, the battery's silicon construction, rather than graphite, enables the maker to fit around 15% more energy into the same area as ordinary rechargeable battery packs. With such an innovation, Apple could increase the phone's battery life in such a compact and thin form factor. iPhone 17 expected price in India iPhone 17: The base model is expected to start around $899 (77,325.64 Indian Rupee), similar to the iPhone 16.
