The iPhone 17 Pro Max is generating buzz with leaks hinting at significant design and performance upgrades. With anticipation building for Apple’s rumored September 2025 launch, here’s a verified roundup of the most talked-about iPhone 17 Pro Max leaks from design changes and battery upgrades to potential new features.

1. Larger 5,000mAh Battery for Extended Performance

Speculation points to the iPhone 17 Pro Max featuring a roughly 5,000mAh battery a significant increase over the iPhone 16 Pro Max’s 4,676mAh capacity. Outlets like MacRumors and Forbes report that this could be the biggest battery ever in an iPhone. 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.
• Dual Video Recording: Potential to record from front and rear cameras simultaneously.
