A major leak surrounding the Apple iPhone 17 Pro Max has revealed a potential game-changing enhancement—its battery capacity. If this turns out to be accurate, the upcoming model could feature the largest battery ever fitted into an iPhone, exceeding expectations ahead of its rumoured September 2025 launch.
Bigger Battery Confirmed by Leak
A recent leak from Weibo user “Instant Digital,” known for both accurate and inaccurate leaks in the past, claims that the iPhone 17 Pro Max could house a 5,000mAh battery. This would surpass the 4,676mAh battery currently seen in the iPhone 16 Pro Max. The increase in size is speculated to be facilitated by a thicker body design, which aligns with earlier rumors of a bulkier frame for the 2025 model.
iPhone 17 Pro Max: Key Expectations
Scheduled for an expected release on 10 September 2025, the Apple iPhone 17 Pro Max is shaping up to be one of the most powerful smartphones yet. Highlights include:
- 6.9-inch Super Retina XDR OLED display
- A19 Pro chipset for top-tier performance
- 48MP triple-camera system
- Support for 5G connectivity
- Price expected to start at Rs. 1,69,990
Compared to Earlier Models
For users comparing it to the iPhone 14 or even the 16 series, the iPhone 17 Pro Max stands out with its upgraded chip, enhanced battery, and more refined design. The rumored battery capacity increase is particularly important for power users and mobile gamers.
