iPhone 17 Pro Max Hands-On: Thicker Design, Bigger Battery & New "Sky Blue" Color
On May 29, tech blogger Majin Bu shared an early look at the latest iPhone 17 Pro Max model based on factory-leaked dimensions. With production set to begin soon, these specs are highly accurate.
Key Changes:
- The iPhone 17 Pro Max is noticeably thicker than its predecessor, measuring 0.34 inches (8.725mm) compared to the iPhone 16 Pro Max’s 0.32 inches (8.25mm).
- The extra thickness may accommodate a larger battery, addressing user demands for better battery life.
Design Highlights:
- Both the iPhone 17 Pro and Pro Max feature a bold new horizontal camera module that spans the entire top of the device. The striking design has drawn comparisons to Xiaomi’s 11 Ultra.
- Apple is reportedly using a hybrid metal-and-glass back panel for improved durability and sustainability.
- The increased metal content could also make the phone heavier, potentially affecting comfort during use.
New Color Option:
Majin Bu also revealed that Apple is testing a fresh "Sky Blue" finish for the Pro models. Early prototypes show a vibrant, high-end look that surpasses the popular Sierra Blue from the iPhone 13 Pro.
Performance Upgrades:
- The iPhone 17 Pro series will debut the A19 Pro chip and 12GB of RAM—Apple’s highest memory capacity yet.
Stay tuned for more updates as Apple’s next flagship nears its official launch.
