iPhone 17 Pro Max battery leak suggests Apple is finally listening
If you purchase an independently reviewed product or service through a link on our website, BGR may receive an affiliate commission. It won't be long before Apple unveils the iPhone 17 lineup. With several controversies surrounding the base model, it seems the company is going all-in on the iPhone 17 Pro Max. According to Weibo leaker Instant Digital, the iPhone 17 Pro Max will have the biggest battery ever available on an iPhone: 5,000mAh. If the rumor is accurate, Apple is increasing the battery capacity by almost 7% over the previous record. Today's Top Deals XGIMI Prime Day deals feature the new MoGo 4 and up to 42% off smart projectors Best deals: Tech, laptops, TVs, and more sales Best Ring Video Doorbell deals Interestingly enough, Apple has been steadily increasing the battery life available on its iPhone Pro Max models, as the current model offers 4,676mAh, followed by the iPhone 15 Pro Max with 4,422mAh and the iPhone 14 Pro Max with 4,323mAh. While Apple could use this extra battery capacity in tandem with a more powerful A19 Pro chip, it could also mean the company aims to offer a true full day of battery life to users. To this day, this continues to be one of the most common complaints from iPhone users. While Instant Digital doesn't explain how Apple plans to expand the battery capacity of the upcoming iPhone 17 Pro Max, previous rumors suggest this will be one of the thickest iPhone Pro models to date. Besides that, there's a new battery technology that Apple might apply to the iPhone 17 Air and, possibly, to the new Pro Max model as well. Meanwhile, upcoming iOS 26 features prove that the company is committed to making iPhone battery lives last longer. Here's how the new Adaptive Power feature works: 'When your battery usage is higher than usual, iPhone can make small performance adjustments to extend your battery life, including slightly lowering the display brightness or allowing some activities to take a little longer.' With previous software updates, Apple revealed that the latest iPhone models can last for double the amount of charging cycles as previous versions.

Major iPhone 2025 battery capacity leak will have you drooling over one model
The upcoming iPhone 17 series is rapidly moving closer to its expected unveiling in September. It's hard to believe but we are only two months away from Apple introducing its latest iPhone models, including the ultra-slim unit dubbed the iPhone 17 Air. Yeah, that's exciting for some. But there are others like me who would prefer that a new top-of-the-line iPhone 17 Pro Max feature a little more heft and girth so that it can include larger batteries. This is exactly what to expect for the iPhone 17 Pro Max , according to a new Weibo post from tipster Instant Digital. He says that the iPhone 17 Pro Max will be equipped with a battery sporting a capacity of approximately 5000 mAh. This would make it the largest iPhone battery of all time, surpassing the current record holder which would be the 4676 mAh battery powering the iPhone 16 Pro Max. Weibo post from tipster leaks the iPhone 17 Pro Max battery capacity. | Image credit-Weibo A 5000 mAh battery powering the iPhone 17 Pro Max would result in a 7% hike in battery capacity for the most premium of all 2025 iPhone models. Apple has really done the work needed to change how consumers perceive the battery life on the iPhone. You might recall that in 2014, Samsung released a commercial showing iPhone users landing at an airport and immediately looking for places to plug in their iPhones. It's a hilarious ad for the Galaxy S5, and if you haven't watched it, by all means go out and do so now. It gave iPhone users a nickname of "Wallhuggers" that they no longer deserve, thanks to the increase in battery capacity that Apple has bestowed on its most expensive handsets. Yes, the iPhone 17 Pro Max will be thicker and heavier, but most would prefer to carry around a heavier, bulkier phone if it results in longer battery life. If a sleeker, svelte iPhone is your cup of tea, this year brings the ultra-thin iPhone 17 Air to the marketplace. With a rumored 2800 mAh battery powering the iPhone 17 Air , choosing the thinnest iPhone model available this year could leave you feeling great holding such a thin handset. However, it could also leave iPhone 17 Air owners wanting when it comes to battery life. If I were to update to a new iPhone model this year, I would stick with the model I always buy-the latest iPhone Pro Max model. And if this device does come with a 5000mAh cell, battery life is going to be tremendous. Of course, I'm still considering the Pixel 10 Pro XL, the Pixel 10 Pro Fold, or even the Pixel 9 Pro Fold to save some bucks. Secure your connection now at a bargain price!

Vivo X Fold 5 Design Comparison With iPhone 16 Pro Max Shows Us Its Thin Frame
Last Updated: Vivo X Fold 5 launch could happen in the next few weeks and the company's latest trick is to show us the foldable and its sleek design compared to the iPhone Pro Max model. Vivo X Fold 5 launch is expected in the next few weeks and the company has started showing off its sleek design and comparing it with premium models like the iPhone 16 Pro Max. The foldables available in the market are powerful but only few of them can match the slim quotient and Vivo is planning to spice that up with the X Fold 5 model that promises to be slightly thicker than the 16 Pro Max when it is folded. The Vivo X Fold 3 got a global launch last year and showed us how foldables can offer all the features of a regular phone. The leaked visuals coming from China shows us the X Fold 5 placed next to the iPhone 16 Pro Max in both fold and opened forms. The tipster reveals that the Vivo foldable measures around 8.7mm in thickness which is just marginally higher than the 8.5mm frame of the iPhone 16 Pro Max. Even so, this will be a significant change from the 10.2mm thickness of the X Fold 3 variant, which also means the weight cuts down from 219 grams to 209 grams with the latest model. These are some impressive gains with the X Fold 5 model from Vivo, especially if earlier rumours about the foldable packing a 6,000mAh battery are true. That's not all, the new Fold is likely to feature a triple camera system with no compromises expected once again. However, Vivo is rumoured to be using the older Snapdragon 8 Gen 3 chipset for the X Fold 5 which might not please buyers but could help with lower pricing of the new model. If Vivo does manage to keep the X Fold 5 sleek, and adjust the hardware choice with a competitive price tag, the brand could finally have a product that will find more takers in the market. Make no mistake, the X Fold 3 was not a slouch by any means but people investing over a lakh will always have second thoughts about brands other than Apple and Samsung even if the hardware warrants their attention. Vivo is expected to bring the X Fold 5 along with the X200 FE models to the Indian market in the next few months and we can't wait to see how these products are priced in the region.

Apple iPhone 17 Pro Max: Best View Yet Of New Design Shown In Latest Leak
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. 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 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. 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.
