Apple's iPhone 17 Pro Max Leaks Hint at Thicker, Battery-Centric Design Shift
Apple may be rewriting the rules of premium smartphone design with its upcoming iPhone 17 Pro Max. According to recent leaks, the tech giant is moving away from its obsession with thinness — a signature feature for over a decade — and embracing a bolder, battery-first design. The iPhone 17 Pro Max is expected to feature a body thickness of 8.725mm, a notable increase from the 8.25mm thickness of the iPhone 16 Pro Max. While this may seem like a minor physical change, the implication is major: more room for a larger battery, and with it, significantly improved endurance. This marks the first Pro Max model since the iPhone X era to actively prioritize battery capacity over aesthetic minimalism. Apple's shift reflects a growing consumer preference for longer battery life over sleek profiles. The regular iPhone 17 Pro, however, will reportedly retain the same size and battery as its predecessor, making the Max variant stand out not just for its screen size or price — but now, for power and practicality. Currently, the iPhone 16 Pro Max offers up to 33 hours of video playback and 105 hours of audio. With the increased chassis size, the iPhone 17 Pro Max could push those limits even further, potentially becoming Apple's longest-lasting iPhone ever — and a serious contender across the premium smartphone market. Interestingly, this year's leaks do not indicate any major camera exclusives for the Pro Max — a departure from previous years where zoom capabilities and stabilization features set it apart. In 2025, Apple appears to be betting big on battery life as the headline feature. If these reports hold true, Apple is ushering in a subtle yet significant design shift — one that trades featherlight finesse for functional longevity. In a market crowded with ultra-thin, power-hungry devices, the iPhone 17 Pro Max may redefine what a flagship smartphone should be: powerful, practical, and built to last.

iPhone 17 Pro And 17 Pro Max Launching In 2025: These 5 Upgrades Could Make Them Worthy
Last Updated: iPhone 17 Pro series are widely tipped to get major upgrades in design, camera and possibly the battery size. iPhone 17 Pro series is expected to launch in the next few months. Yes, we're almost there in 2025 when the big Apple event is held to announce the new iPhones. The latest Pro models will understandably carry some notable upgrades, and some design changes in the offing, at least going by the recent leaks. But when people pay a premium they expect the iPhone Pro to blow their mind with the camera features, and reports say Apple could bring as many as four new options for the shutterbugs. And if you are looking at the iPhone 17 Pro as a whole, we could have 5 big upgrades that are noteworthy and make the new iPhones exciting. Some Design Changes The iPhone 17 Pro design could be more durable than its predecessors as Apple is tipped to use aluminium instead of titanium for the chassis. The company has been doing well in the recent bend tests, and this new upgrade could play a big role in its strong body. The back of the iPhone 17 Pro series could see a mix of aluminium and glass material finish which could add style and substance to the models. The camera layout is also going to be part of the design change, with more room given for the triple sensors and some distance between the LED flash at the back. New Pro Hardware Apple will be offering the new Pro-level chipset for the iPhone 17 Pro series. Last year we got the A18 Pro version and now it is time to see the A19 Pro SoC powering the new Pro lineup for the company in 2025. TSMC will be using the 3nm process to manufacture the new hardware for the iPhones and going by the performance levels for the A18 Pro, you can definitely expect a major bump this year as well. Time For Telephotos Apple is rumoured to bring a new 48MP telephoto lens which should be a notable upgrade on the 12MP lens that the iPhone 16 Pro models got last year. This means 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. That's not all, we could also see the iPhone 17 Pro models get support for variable aperture with the new lens, also mentioned in multiple leaks recently. The New Selfie Game It is not just the back of the iPhone 17 Pro where we could see big upgrades, the front is also overdue for a new setup. And reports have widely talked about a new 24MP shooter packed under the notch with the 17 Pro models. The Pro models have always looked to stand out from the regular versions and for their top price, they have needed those upgrades. It is high time that Apple changes its focus on the front camera and really goes for the juggernaut which could happen this year. And with these changes, iPhone 17 Pros could offer dual-cam recording for the first time. The Big Battery Push Apple is likely to ditch its focus on making the iPhone 17 Pro models slim which could have a big impact on the size of the battery packing inside these devices. Now we can't say for certain about these figures, and Apple does its best to keep them a secret but we are hoping to see the mAh numbers to be bigger than what the iPhone 16 Pro and 16 Pro Max offered. Will that also be complemented with faster charging speeds? We have been hearing these rumours for years but Apple does not bend, hopefully this year it changes.

iPhone 17 Pro vs iPhone 16 Pro: Top 7 upgrades expected
iPhone 17 Pro vs iPhone 16 Pro: Top 7 upgrades expected By Ankita Garg Apple is likely to launch its iPhone 17 series in September 2025, and well before the official reveal, multiple leaks have started doing the rounds, pointing to major improvements. Here are the details based on the leaks. Intro Photo generated using AI The iPhone 17 Pro is expected to pack the new A19 Pro chip, an upgrade over the A18 Pro seen in its predecessor. Chipset Photo : Apple Hub The iPhone 17 Pro is rumoured to feature a new vapor chamber cooling system for better heat management during heavy use. New cooling system? Interestingly, Apple may switch back to an aluminum frame for the iPhone 17 Pro, moving away from the premium Grade 5 titanium used in the 16 Pro. While this could help with weight reduction, it may be seen as a step down in terms of durability and finish. Design The iPhone 17 Pro is likely to get a major redesign at the back, with leaks hinting at a large rectangular camera module that spans almost edge-to-edge, a change from the square layout seen on the iPhone 16 Pro. A fresh look? Photo : Front Page Tech The iPhone 17 Pro could feature a 48MP telephoto sensor, replacing the 12MP periscope zoom camera used in the iPhone 16 Pro. However, optical zoom is said to be limited to 3.5x this time, slightly lower than the 5x zoom capability of the 16 Pro. Camera Photo : @Asherdipps Apple is expected to bump up the RAM to 12GB on the iPhone 17 Pro, up from 8GB on the iPhone 16 Pro. This should improve multitasking and boost performance during heavy tasks like gaming or video editing. Also Read: iPhone 16 Pro Max and iPhone 16 Pro review: Kings in waiting RAM

Apple Logo Changes on iPhone 17 Pro: What It Means
Since the iPhone 11 was released in 2019, the Apple logo has been positioned in the center of the smartphone's back. This is not just a design choice but also serves a practical purpose. However, the logo placement is expected to change with the upcoming iPhone 17 Pro. As previous leaks have indicated, the iPhone 17 Pro is likely to feature a wide camera bar that occupies a large portion of the back of the device. This information comes from case manufacturers who receive the dimensions of new devices in advance to adapt their accessories accordingly. Currently, production lines are at a standstill. This is because a modified logo design on the iPhone 17 Pro could confuse users, as it has previously served as a guide for MagSafe accessories. The iPhone 17 Pro is expected to have a horizontal camera unit that spans the entire width of the upper back. This design necessitates repositioning the Apple logo, which is now set to be lower, centered between the edge of the device and the camera bar. At least, that's according to information from well-known leakers Majin Bu and Sonny Dickson. Majin Bu cites sources in the case manufacturing industry who have recently learned about the logo change in the iPhone 17 Pro. As a result, accessory production is largely on hold to find solutions for the new requirements. The logo shift on the iPhone 17 Pro also affects MagSafe accessories. Since it previously served as a visual guide for placing MagSafe accessories, the new position could cause confusion. This is particularly problematic for transparent iPhone cases, which make up a significant portion of the market. Previously, the logo was centered within the magnetic ring necessary for MagSafe compatibility. With the new placement, however, the ring would cover the logo on the iPhone 17 Pro. Therefore, accessory manufacturers and Apple are reportedly working on a solution where part of the ring is removed to make room for the logo. Apple's shifting the logo lower on the iPhone 17, most likely to align it with the MagSafe charging coil. — Sonny Dickson (@SonnyDickson) June 30, 2025 This would ensure continued compatibility with MagSafe accessories–even if the magnetic hold might be slightly weaker. The design is not yet final, and details regarding the logo position and MagSafe compatibility may change before the iPhone 17 Pro is released in the fall.

Dual video recording: The iPhone 17 Pro and iPhone 17 Pro Max will enable users to concurrently record video with the front and rear cameras using the Camera app, according to Jon Prosser of the Front Page Tech YouTube channel. 8K video recording: Although it is still unavailable, Apple is said to have tested 8K video recording on the iPhone 16 Pro models. It's possible that 8K video recording will debut on the iPhone 17 Pro versions, which are anticipated to include a fully 48-megapixel rear camera. 12GB of RAM: Rumour has it that the iPhone 17 Pro and possibly the iPhone 17 Air will have 12GB of RAM. Multitasking and Apple Intelligence performance should both be enhanced by this update. 8GB of RAM is a feature shared by all four iPhone 16 versions. Better cooling: It is rumoured that internal design modifications in all four iPhone 17 variants would improve heat dissipation. There have been rumours about a vapour chamber cooling technology, particularly for the Pro models. Repositioned Apple logo: Compared to earlier generations, the iPhone 17 Pro models may have a lower placement for Apple's logo on the rear. Quicker MagSafe charging: With a new iteration of Apple's MagSafe Charger, iPhone 17 Pro models might have quicker MagSafe wireless charging speeds. iPhone 17 Pro expected price The base model from the series will cost AED 3799 in Dubai, $799 in the US, and Rs 79,999 in India. In contrast, the iPhone 17 Air will likely retail for Rs 89,999 in India and $899 in the US. However, the Pro version might cost about Rs 1,39,900, and the Pro Max version would cost Rs 1,64,900 to deliver. As of yet, the price has not been confirmed.
