iPhone 17 Pro Poised to Deliver 'Awe Dropping' Battery Life

They just made the phone thicker.

They made the ultra thicker.

Any other hot takes?

They didn’t make the Ultra thicker. The 2 is same thickness as 1 and the Ultra is a different watch altogether than the regular.

Tell me how much thicker they’ve made the regular watch since it’s launched. Oh right; thanks for playing. They haven’t and they won’t. Bye!

Honest question - presume you are a very light user?

1.5 to 2 hours of screen time per day, plus CarPlay time.

36 hours streaming is my prediction for the Pro Max.

I wonder how much the 17 Pro will be heavier with battery replacing plastic.

The aluminum should offset any weight increase by the battery. I’ll gladly take the significant bump in battery life over the marginal weight gain.

It's easy to increase batter life adding thickness and weight, it's something else when you want to keep the weight comfortable enough to use the device. And I think the 16 Pro is too heavy.

If you think the 16 Pro is too heavy, you should try my 14 Pro. Thankfully, the aluminum should help out in keeping the weight in check or even reduce it slightly.

Good. 16 pro battery has been terrible.

Is it weird that I don't care that much about battery life? The pro iPhones since the 13 have been more than adequate, and I am never that far from a charger. Would love to see the newer, higher-density battery tech implemented, but it's a want, not a need.

Same for me. I think in my case it's because I often have my MacBook nearby and prefer it over the phone for many things. I use my phone more when I'm actually on the move and if really on the move then I'm not able to do as much on the phone.

Will not be surprised if eSIM variant of the Pro models are made available in more countries. The increase in battery capacity, if true will be fantastic. Waiting to finally see the new iPhones after a very exciting year full of rumors.

15pro user here. Wont be upgrading but with that said anything has to be better then my phones battery. Been complete poo since i bought it. Worst ever from an iphone. Of course being relative to the battery size and tech.

My 13 pros battery was awesome as well. Only upgraded to the 15 pro when I did because my iphone 13 pro got stolen. Thr battery on my 15 pro has been horrible since day one.

Really? Then why does Apple keep putting a larger one in their phones?

size plays a huge role, I didn't say it doesnt, I said it's not the only factor.
