Apple is all set to host its big “Awe Dropping” launch event at Apple Park, Cupertino, on September 9, 2025. During this event, the company will finally unveil the much-awaited iPhone 17 series – including the iPhone 17, iPhone 17 Pro, iPhone 17 Pro Max, and iPhone 17 Air.
For Apple fans in India, there’s good news! India will be among the first countries to get the new iPhones. Pre-orders begin on September 12, 2025 and the official sales start from September 19, 2025.
iPhone 17 Pro Max: Expected Features & Specifications
The iPhone 17 Pro Max is shaping up to be one of Apple’s most advanced smartphones yet, with significant upgrades in design, performance, and camera capabilities. Here’s a detailed look at what to expect:
Display & Design
The iPhone 17 Pro Max is rumoured to feature a 6.9-inch XDR OLED display with a smooth 120Hz refresh rate, offering stunning visuals and fluid scrolling.
The front will continue to sport the Dynamic Island with slimmer bezels, giving users a more immersive experience.
On the back, Apple is reportedly shifting to a rectangular camera bump that houses three lenses and a flash.
Interestingly, the Apple logo will sit lower on the device, marking a subtle but notable design change.
Performance & Hardware
Under the hood, the iPhone 17 Pro Max will run on the powerful Apple A19 Pro chipset.
Apple is increasing the memory this year, equipping the Pro models with 12GB of RAM (a jump of 4GB from the previous generation).
The base storage option will likely start at 256GB, ensuring ample space for apps, media, and high-resolution content.
Camera Upgrades
Apple is taking a big leap with the rear camera system:
48MP primary sensor
48MP ultra-wide sensor
48MP periscope telephoto lens (replacing the earlier 12MP telephoto)
On the front, Apple is expected to upgrade to a 24MP camera, making selfies and video calls sharper than ever.
A new camera control button is also being tested on prototype models in San Francisco. Positioned near the upper edge, it seems to act like a capacitive touch scroll surface. This placement will allow users to easily access camera controls while holding the phone in landscape mode.
Battery & Charging
The iPhone 17 Pro Max could come with the largest battery ever in an iPhone – 5,500mAh.
Charging options are also improving, with support for:
25W MagSafe fast charging
15W Qi2 wireless charging
For the first time, Apple is expected to introduce reverse wireless charging, enabling the iPhone to power up accessories like AirPods or an Apple Watch.
