A new leak from China suggests that the upcoming iPhone 17 Pro Max will finally break past Apple’s long-standing battery capacity ceiling, featuring a 5,000mAh battery — the largest ever in an iPhone. This marks a notable upgrade over the 4,685mAh battery used in the current iPhone 16 Pro Max.

If the report proves accurate, the iPhone 17 Pro Max will match the standard battery size found in most flagship Android smartphones, a benchmark Apple has long avoided in favor of efficiency and tight system integration.

Apple Finally Catching Up to Android Rivals?

For years, 5,000mAh has been the baseline for Android flagships, with brands like Samsung and Google maintaining that threshold, while Chinese manufacturers have recently pushed further using Silicon-Carbon (Si/C) battery TECHNOLOGY. Apple, known for prioritizing software optimization over raw hardware specs, has consistently offered smaller batteries but with strong battery life thanks to its tight control over iOS and chipset efficiency.

That said, Apple’s Pro Max lineup has historically seen incremental battery improvements with each iteration — with the exception of the iPhone 14 Pro Max, which had a slightly smaller cell compared to the iPhone 13 Pro Max. If this 5,000mAh rumor holds true, it could signal a shift in Apple’s design priorities, possibly to meet growing demands for extended screen time, especially with features like ProMotion and advanced camera use.
