iPhone 17 Pro Max Battery Capacity Leaked

[MacRumors]

The iPhone 17 Pro Max will feature the biggest ever battery in an iPhone, according to the Weibo leaker known as "Instant Digital."

In a new post, the leaker listed the battery capacities of the iPhone 11 Pro Max through to the iPhone 16 Pro Max, and added that the iPhone 17 Pro Max will feature a battery capacity of 5,000mAh:

• iPhone 11 Pro Max: 3,969mAh
• iPhone 12 Pro Max: 3,687mAh
• iPhone 13 Pro Max: 4,352mAh
• iPhone 14 Pro Max: 4,323mAh
• iPhone 15 Pro Max: 4,422mAh
• iPhone 16 Pro Max: 4,676mAh
• iPhone 17 Pro Max: ~5,000mAh

The battery life of the iPhone 16 Pro Max is 33 hours, according to Apple. This is up from 29 hours on the iPhone 14 Pro Max, and 28 hours on the iPhone 13 Pro Max. The iPhone 12 Pro Max had a battery life of just 20 hours. With an extra 300mAh of battery capacity, the iPhone 17 Pro Max could be on course to offer around 35 hours of battery life, or perhaps even more. Efficiency improvements from the A19 Pro chip and Qualcomm's Snapdragon X80 modem should also contribute significantly to enhanced battery life.

Instant Digital has a mixed track record for Apple rumors, but has provided some strikingly accurate information, such as the imminent launch of 2023's Yellow iPhone 14, the frosted back glass of the iPhone 15 and iPhone 15 Plus, the Apple Watch Series 9 as a minor refresh, spatial video capture on the iPhone 15 Pro, the latest iPad Air and iPad Pro's landscape front-facing camera, the M4 iPad Pro's nano-texture display option, the iPhone 16 Pro's battery capacities, and continued Apple Watch band compatibility through the Apple Watch Series 10. As a result, their reports are worth taking seriously.

Wow. Apple welcome to the 5K mAh land!

Now, can we get even faster charging?

 

[H.E. Pennypacker]

This stuff really never makes a difference for me. Every iPhone I’ve ever owned is at 20% by like 3:00-4:00. Every. Single. One.

The full-width camera bump probably allowed for a larger battery; I expect the regular 17 Pro will also have a larger battery.

Actually given the size of that camera bump already they might as well just make the whole phone camera bump-depth. That way they could have a really good battery capacity.

All of them, ridiculous. Phones' battery life should be measured in days, not hours.

I doubt most people want a phone that thick all the time.

My battery can last days because my iPhone is my least used Apple device.

 

[darngooddesign]

Now everyone freaking out over this can relax because MR is back to using their render without the visible MagSafe.

 

[WarmWinterHat]

I can easily get two full days without charging my 16 Pro. Three if I watch my usage.

 

[JapanApple]

Oh wow, that's an ugly iPhone!

 

[DelayedGratificationGene]

Wow. Awesome. Battery life is phenomenal for the iPhone because Apple makes everything flow with ease. Great job!

[macvicta]

So even with that expanded camera bump thingie, it’s still going to be wobbly? They should’ve made it flush with the lenses so it’s all one smooth area.

 

[jayducharme]

Efficiency improvements from the A19 Pro chip and Qualcomm's Snapdragon X80 modem should also contribute significantly to enhanced battery life.

I thought Apple was transitioning to their own modem.

 

[jamesa]

there is NO WAY that the iPhone 16 Pro Max has a 33 hour battery life, unless you're not actually using it.

My kingdom for a phone that actually lasts all day between charges

 

[Saturn1217]

If this turns out to be true and the 17 Pro Max is another battery life leader, I can forgive all the really ugly design choices. As long as functionally it is a great phone worthy of the eye watering price apple will surely charge for it, I'll be happy.

I wake up at 0430 and go to bed around 2130, and usually with >50% battery. No charging during the day. I use my phone..no video streaming, or games, so perhaps that is the difference.

16 Pro, not a Pro Max.

I doubt most people want a phone that thick all the time.

And that heavy, in particular.

I'd settle for a 4,000 mAh battery if I could only see my screen in the sun. The entire dim the screen BS to prevent overheating is so 2007 ish.

 

[klasma]

My battery can last days because my iPhone is my least used Apple device.

This was the case for me until Apple introduced Find My (and possibly other background stuff).

 

[displayblock]

Doesn’t help that Liquid Glass requires more GPU power usage

 

[WarmWinterHat]

Settings > General > Background App Refresh

Turn all the crap off.
