Key Differences Between the iPhone 17 Pro and iPhone 17 Pro Max: Size, Battery, and More

The iPhone 17 series is expected to be unveiled by Apple in September, with notable distinctions between the iPhone 17 Pro and iPhone 17 Pro Max models. As usual, the Pro Max is larger, sporting a 6.9-inch display compared to the 6.3-inch screen of the Pro model. This size difference allows the Pro Max to house a larger battery, resulting in longer battery life. Rumors suggest that the iPhone 17 Pro Max may also be approximately 5% thicker than its predecessor, the iPhone 16 Pro Max, to accommodate an even bigger battery, potentially reaching 5,000mAh, an upgrade from the previous model’s 4,676mAh battery. No similar changes are anticipated for the iPhone 17 Pro, which is expected to maintain a similar thickness to the iPhone 16 Pro. Despite the size and battery improvements, camera specifications for both models are expected to remain the same: a trio of 48-megapixel rear cameras and a 24-megapixel front camera. Additionally, the rumored change to the Dynamic Island, which could potentially be smaller for the iPhone 17 Pro Max, may not be implemented until next year. Ultimately, the iPhone 17 Pro Max might be quite similar to the Pro model, except for its larger screen and better battery life.
