The thickness of the iPhone 17 Pro Max has increased to 8.725 mm, which is more than the iPhone 16 Pro Max (8.25 mm). This change has been made not just for the design but for the bigger battery.
2. Such a big battery for the first time since iPhone X
Apple has continuously made thin phones since the iPhone X, but now the company is once again prioritizing big batteries—and this change will be very much liked by those who use it for a long time.
3. Now there is a clear difference between Pro and Pro Max.
There will be no change in the battery in the iPhone 17 Pro and its size will also remain the same, so that the difference between the two Pro variants will no longer be limited to the screen or price.
4. Focus on performance more than design.
Apple is now moving away from thin design and making a body that gives priority to important aspects like battery and heat management—that is, now the phone will not only look good but will also be strong in working.
5. Longest battery life expected
The iPhone 16 Pro Max already offers 33 hours of video and 105 hours of audio playback. The iPhone 17 Pro Max is expected to deliver even better figures—perhaps even become the most powerful iPhone ever.
6. No major changes to the camera this time.
While earlier Pro Max models offered different camera features (such as better zoom), there will be no significant upgrades to the camera this time. The main focus is now on battery and practical use.
7. Big change in Apple’s design thinking
The thicker design of the iPhone 17 Pro Max shows that Apple’s priority now is not to make “thin phones” but “powerful and reliable” phones.
8. Pro Max is now not just bigger, but smarter too.
The Pro Max will not just be a bigger-screen phone, but it will also prove to be better than the Pro models in terms of battery—meaning the right value for money will now be linked to performance.
9. New trend in the crowd of lightweight phones
When every brand is in a race to make thin phones, this thick but powerful model from Apple can start a new trend in the market—especially for those users who are tired of charging again and again.
10. iPhone 17 Air—The new name for durability?
If all these leaks prove to be true, then the iPhone 17 Pro Max will not only be the strongest phone of the iPhone but will also set a new benchmark in terms of battery in the premium smartphone market.
