Apple iPhone 17 Pro Max Design: New Leak Hints At Major Upgrade
A recent leak from a reputable source has shed new light on the design of the upcoming Apple iPhone 17 Pro Max, and it’s looking like a major upgrade is in store for fans of the flagship series. According to Ice Universe, the leaker with a solid reputation, the next-generation iPhone will have a thicker body than its predecessor.
The leak claims that the iPhone 17 Pro Max will measure 8.725mm thick, compared to the 8.25mm thickness of the iPhone 16 Pro Max. While this may seem like a tiny change at first glance, it could actually be a significant improvement for users. A thicker body would likely provide room for a bigger battery, which in turn could lead to improved battery life.
This new information also has implications for the previously rumored super-slim iPhone, allegedly called the iPhone 17 Air. According to the leak, this device will not only match the Pro Max’s dimensions but will have identical length, width, and screen size as well, apart from its significantly reduced thickness of just 5.5mm. This could mean that the Air won’t be able to match the Pro Max’s battery life, making it a more appealing option for those who want a smaller device without sacrificing too much performance.
Another interesting point mentioned in the leak is that there might be a change in the camera panel or even the rear of the phone, which would deviate from the current design. This could potentially bring about new features and functionalities, but we will have to wait and see what Apple has planned for their next release.
It’s also worth noting that while the report didn’t explicitly state it, the fact that the Pro Max is getting a thicker body does not necessarily mean that future super-slim iPhones would have to sacrifice mmWave speeds.
