Apple has increased the thickness of the upcoming iPhone 17 Pro Max compared to the current generation iPhone 16 Pro Max, claims the Chinese leaker known as Ice Universe.
Apple is said to have increased the depth of the iPhone 17 Pro Max to 8.725mm, up from 8.25mm on the iPhone 16 Pro Max, which would be a 0.475mm difference in thickness. The increase ”surely means a larger battery,” according to the leaker. Apart from depth, the iPhone 17 Pro Max’s frame reportedly remains unchanged, and is otherwise identical to the iPhone 16 Pro Max.
