Most of the rumors around the next iPhone model have focused on thin, light iPhone 17 Air. And it is logical – it is a shiny new toy.
But let’s return to one of the traditional iPhone model, iPhone 17 Pro Max. Apple is not forgetting the top-of-the-line model, and you probably not be either.
The iPhone 17 Pro Max is rumored to design a new rear camera with 48MP telephoto camera, front 24MP camera and dual video recording in the camera app – so you will be able to shoot with front and rear cameras at the same time.
Flagship can also get a better continuous performance and a vapor chamber cooling for 12 GB RAM. But it appears that a business for these new gifts is closed.
Leak from a new dummy unit Magin boo on x (Through 9to5mac)) Shows a much thicker phone than to be used from Apple, especially with trending towards cutting fat.

According to a social media video, Dummy iPhone 17 Pro Max appears to be thicker than the popular iPhone 16 Pro Max.
Here is the size of each device (although remember, it is a dummy unit and can change the dimensions when the phone is launched):
- iPhone 16 Pro Max: 8.25 mm thick
- iPhone 17 Pro Max: 8.725 mm thick (rumor)
It is about half a millimeter thick. Although it is not much in the grand plan of things, it shows that Apple is not only worried about making the thinnest, lightest phones possible only.
Those who buy the Pro Max model (include themselves) prioritize the largest screen and the best features, and the size is not a significant concern.
Most likely, the Apple wants to rub as much battery as possible in its high-end phone, and to make it less than a millimeter, it should allow it to provide a little more capacity, which will translate in a more expanded period between the fees directly and certainly cement your place as one of the best phones.
While BU has a good track record of Apple leaks (he has properly predicted the iphone 16E name change, for example), you should still take this leak with a rash of salt, because nothing has been confirmed by Apple yet.
We will not listen to anything official about the iPhone 17 series by September, when the company is expected to unveil its next iPhone upgrade.
