JAKARTA - Apple seems to be preparing for major changes to the iPhone 17 Pro line, particularly in the iPhone 17 Pro Max model. The latest leak reveals that the company from Cupetino made a new frame design, battery layout, to a different internal component arrangement from the previous generation.

According to reports, Apple plans to re-use the aluminum frame for the Pro series, replacing the titanium used in the latest models. This change is expected to make the device lighter and increase heat disposal. However, aluminum is known to be less scratch resistant than titanium.

Leaked photos also show a larger internal space for batteries. Sources say the iPhone 17 Pro Max battery capacity could exceed 5,000 mAh the largest in iPhone history. To accommodate this battery, the iPhone 17 Pro Max body is likely slightly thicker, plus support for the vapor-chamber cooling system to make the heat more controlled.

On the camera side, Apple is rumored to be presenting a 48-megapixel telephoto lens with up to 8x optical zoom. Even more interesting, this lens system is said to be able to change between 5x and 8x zoom according to user needs.

In addition, the MagSafe coil seemed to shift its position, and the design of electronic substrates was also changed. This change indicates an internal reconfiguration to support better performance and improved heat management.

Other specifications anticipated include the A19 Pro chip based on the 3 nanometer process from TSMC, 12 GB RAM, Wi-Fi 7, as well as 25 watt wireless charging support. The front camera is also rumored to have increased to 24 megapixels. Apple is believed to offer new color options, including copper and dark blue nuances.

If according to tradition, Apple is predicted to launch the iPhone 17 on September 9, 2025, with deliveries starting at the end of the same month. The iPhone 17 Pro Max will come alongside the iPhone 17 Pro and iPhone 17 Air.

With a lighter aluminum frame, a jumbo battery of more than 5,000 mAh, as well as a state-of-the-art telephoto camera system, the iPhone 17 Pro Max has the potential to be one of the most exciting iPhones in recent years.
