- The iPhone 17 Pro Max could have a 5,000 mAh battery
- This would make more than 300 mm capacity greater than that of the iPhone 16 Pro Max
- This could be one of the main upgrading of specifications in this phone
We have heard a lot about the iPhone 17 Pro Max at this stage, but surprisingly, one of the biggest potential upgrades has just disclosed.
According to Leaker Setsuna Digital (via GSMarena), the iPhone 17 Pro Max could have a 5,000 mAh battery, and although this is a common capacity for Android phones, it is much higher than what we have seen so far from an iPhone.
The iPhone 16 Pro Max has the biggest battery that Apple has so far put in a phone, but only 4,685 mAh remains. So, if this leak is correct, the iPhone 17 Pro Max will have an additional 315MAH to play.
The improvement of the battery to 5,000 mAh would finally make the specifications of the Apple battery more comparable to Android phones, and would probably mean that the real lifespan of the iPhone 17 Pro Max is much greater than most Android combines, because iPhones tend to be very effective.
A bigger boost than usual
So, this is good news, although we were taking this with a pinch of salt, because even if the source of this tip has a solid assessment, we have not yet heard of anyone else, and it would be a slightly larger battery jump than we tend to see from Apple.
But if the iPhone 17 Pro Max really has a 5,000 mAh battery, it could make one of the most exciting upgrades on a phone that until now does not seem to be a great improvement compared to the iPhone 16 Pro Max.
By going through current leaks, the main change could be in design – although the chipset and some of the cameras will probably also be improved. Thus, a boost in the lifespan of the battery could help this phone feel more than one upgrade that it could not otherwise.
And although this leak only talks about the iPhone 17 Pro Max, if it really gets a big battery, there is a good chance that other iPhone 17 models will do it too. We should discover it in September, because it is probably when Apple reveals these new handsets.
