A slightly thicker 8.725mm design may accommodate this power boost, rivaling competitors like Samsung’s flagship models.The exact battery capacity won’t be known until Apple makes an official announcement, despite the fact that the claim seems plausible.

2. Redesigned Horizontal Camera Bar

A standout leak points to a horizontal, rectangular camera bar spanning the iPhone 17 Pro Max’s back, replacing the traditional square bump. This redesign could enhance photography capabilities, but it’s based on third-party case designs, not Apple’s confirmation.

3. Repositioned Apple Logo and Aluminum Frame

Design Changes on the Horizon: The Hindustan Times and MacRumors have reported that Apple may move the Apple logo a little lower on the iPhone 17 Pro Max in order to accommodate a redesigned camera bar and rearranged MagSafe magnets.
At the same time, reports from The Information indicate that Apple may switch from a titanium frame to a more durable aluminum chassis, paired with a hybrid aluminum-glass back a design choice likely intended to improve both wireless charging performance and structural durability. While these align with Apple’s design evolution, they remain speculative without official validation.

  • 24MP Front Camera: An upgrade from 12MP for sharper selfies.
