Apple iPhone 17 Pro Max Prioritizes performance with Design Shift
CUPERTINO, CA – Apple’s latest flagship, the iPhone 17 pro Max, delivers considerably extended battery life and improved thermal management, but achieves these gains through a notable design change and material selection. the device features a full-width camera bump housing not only the triple 48 MP camera system, but also the A19 Pro chip, mobile modem, and antenna system, creating space for a larger battery.
The iPhone 17 Pro Max boasts a 4823 mAh battery, a ample increase from the 4685 mAh found in the iPhone 16 Pro Max.NotebookCheck testing reveals a web browsing battery life of nearly 29 hours – an almost 8-hour enhancement over its predecessor. A US model, lacking a physical SIM slot, further increases capacity to 5088 mAh.
In a departure from last year’s titanium alloy, Apple has opted for an aluminum chassis in the iPhone 17 Pro Max and iPhone 17 Pro. this change prioritizes heat dissipation, complemented by the introduction of a vapor chamber cooling system. Stress tests demonstrate the device’s ability to sustain performance for longer durations and experience less performance throttling.
