Apple fans, brace yourselves! The iPhone 17 Pro Max is set to pack the biggest battery ever in an iPhone — around 5,000 mAh! Yes, you read that right, 5,000 mAh! For comparison, the iPhone 16 Pro Max has about a 4,400 mAh battery, while the 15 and 14 Pro Max models have around 4,300 mAh. But as always, nothing comes for free — this power beast will make the phone thicker than ever. The thickness will jump to 8.25 mm, compared to 8 mm on the iPhone 16 Pro Max. So if you thought the new iPhone would be thinner and sleeker, think again!
What does this mean for users? More battery means longer usage time, but also a bigger device that might not fit in every pocket. Of course, Apple hopes software optimization and energy efficiency will save the day and deliver better battery life. But is that enough to justify the extra millimeter of thickness?
Apple will most likely unveil the new iPhone 17 series in September, when we’ll finally get all the official details. Until then, we can only guess and wonder — is the bigger battery worth the trade-off? Or is this just another trick to make us buy the pricier model?
Either way, if you’re ready to carry a thicker phone, the iPhone 17 Pro Max will give you a powerful battery that lasts longer than ever. If not, maybe it’s time to consider another model or brand.
What about you? Would you accept a thicker phone for longer battery life? Or is a slim design more important? Drop a comment and let’s see who’s for and who’s against Apple’s bold move!
