iPhone 17 Pro Max expected launch timeline: With early speculation about the upcoming iPhone 17, 17 Pro, 17 Pro Max, and 17 Air, Apple's iPhone lineup is again in the news. Even though the official debut is still months away, reports and leaks have already begun to give us an idea of what to expect.?
Both models are preparing for a significant upgrade, from design changes to camera enhancements and new feature additions. As usual, Apple enthusiasts are curious to see how the Pro variation compares to the normal model and whether the price difference will be worthwhile.?
To help you choose which iPhone 17 is best for you, we've broken down everything that has come to light in this post.
The iPhone 17 Pro Max, iPhone 17, iPhone 17 Air, and iPhone 17 Pro will all launch in September if Apple follows its customary launch schedule.?
Camera
Sharper and more detailed selfies might be achieved with Apple's potential introduction of a 24-megapixel front camera for the iPhone 17, a significant improvement over the existing 12-megapixel sensor.?
The iPhone 17 is anticipated to keep its 48-megapixel primary camera on the back, but it will not have the 5x telephoto zoom, which is expected to be reserved for the Pro models.
In contrast, the iPhone 17 Pro Max is expected to have three cameras: a 48-megapixel Tetraprism telephoto camera, a 48-megapixel wide camera, and a 48-megapixel ultra-wide camera.?
This will be the first iPhone from Apple to have three 48-megapixel cameras on the back if this proves accurate. It might allow 8K video recording, which would also be a first for iPhones.
Although the iPhone 17's battery capacity is currently unknown, the rumoured increase in screen size may indicate Apple is getting ready to install a larger battery than the 3,582mAh unit seen in the iPhone 16 Pro.?
If accurate, this might result in longer battery life. Furthermore, according to recent sources, Apple may eventually implement 35W fast charging with the iPhone 17 series. This would be a welcome improvement over previous models, but it would still be slower than what many Android phones now offer.
It is predicted that Apple will make the regular iPhone 17's screen larger. It is anticipated to have a 6.3-inch display, bringing it closer to the iPhone 16 Pro than the current 6.1-inch model.?
Users who like larger screens for video consumption may find this update appealing.
Furthermore, the iPhone 17 series is anticipated to bring ProMotion technology to all models. This means that even entry-level devices may have a refresh rate of 120 Hz, providing a more fluid scrolling and video viewing experience on the regular versions.?
However, it is said that the 6.9-inch screen size of the iPhone 17 Pro Max would remain the same. Additionally, rumours indicate that the iPhone 17 series will have an anti-reflective covering to enhance visibility outside in direct sunlight.
According to reports, Apple plans to maintain the basic iPhone 17's overall design, including the Action button and USB-C port comparable to the iPhone 16.?
The Pro variants might have a new rectangular camera bar design on the rear that extends the phone's width and has rounded edges for a sleeker, more contemporary appearance.
The chipsets that will power the future iPhone 17 variants are known, but we may not know the other specifications. Apple's next-generation A19 chip may power the iPhone 17, but the A19 Pro chip will power the iPhone 17 Pro and iPhone 17 Pro Max.?
According to reports, the Max model supports 12GB of RAM, while a basic model with support for 8GB of RAM might be released.
Furthermore, it has been believed that the iPhone 17 Pro Max would come with a unique cooling mechanism. It might use graphite sheets in a novel vapour chamber technology. We don't know the specifics of the same.?
Like the earlier generations, all of the iPhone 17 models are likely to feature at least an IP69 rating. Right now, the remaining specifics are being kept secret.?
According to rumours that use preliminary industry figures, the iPhone 17 Pro Max may retail for $1,299 in the US. The base trim of the device could cost approximately Rs 1,44,900 in India. Please remember that the official prices will be disclosed when the product launches.
However, as part of its premium pricing plan, Apple might increase costs if it releases the iPhone 17 Pro Max as the iPhone 17 Ultra.?
