Apple is preparing to increase the battery capacity of the iPhone 17 Pro Max. The new flagship will receive a 5000 mAh battery, reports GMSArena, citing a message from the Chinese forum Weibo. This will be the first iPhone model with such a capacity - its predecessor, the iPhone 16 Pro Max, had a 4685 mAh battery.
Apple has been gradually increasing the batteries in the Pro Max line, although the iPhone 14 Pro Max had a slightly smaller capacity than the iPhone 13 Pro Max. Meanwhile, Chinese brands are actively switching to silicon-carbon (Si/C) batteries, exceeding 5,000 mAh, while Samsung and Google are still sticking to this level.
The iPhone 17 Pro Max is expected to be released in September 2025. Details about battery life and other specifications of the smartphone have not yet been revealed.
