Apple seems ready to launch its iPhone 17 lineup in September 2025, with major improvements expected across all models. Among them, the iPhone 17 Pro Max is drawing attention due to significant battery and camera upgrades.
As per early leaks, the iPhone 17 Pro Max may come with a 5,000mAh battery, which would be the largest battery ever in an iPhone. This is a clear jump from the 4,422mAh battery used in the iPhone 16 Pro Max. The new battery could provide up to 35 hours of usage on a single charge, thanks to the A19 Pro chip that is expected to enhance power efficiency.
To accommodate this larger battery, the Pro Max may see a slight increase in thickness. Reports suggest the body will be 8.725mm thick, up from 8.25mm in the previous model. This minor change could lead to a major improvement in battery life, making the iPhone 17 Pro Max ideal for power users.
In terms of camera, both the iPhone 17 Pro and Pro Max are expected to maintain their three-lens rear camera setup. However, leaks hint at a redesigned layout, with the LiDAR sensor and flash possibly shifted to the right side. The new system could include triple 48MP sensors covering standard, ultra-wide, and telephoto photography needs.
Apple may also introduce a new model called the iPhone 17 Air, which could be the slimmest iPhone ever released. It might feature a single 48MP rear camera and a minimal design. The iPhone 17 base model is expected to follow the design of the iPhone 16, possibly with a slightly larger display.
Across all models, Apple may upgrade the front camera to 24MP, improving selfies over the previous 12MP standard. Pricing in India is expected to remain the same, with the iPhone 17 starting at Rs 89,900, the iPhone 17 Air at Rs 99,900, the iPhone 17 Pro at Rs 1,39,900, and the iPhone 17 Pro Max at Rs 1,64,900.
