We have already seen how Apple turns rumors into revolutions. From the first iPhones that revolutionized the mobile industry to modern devices integrated with artificial intelligence, the Cupertino company always manages to balance evolution with radical changes. According to our sources in the supply chain and industry analysts such as Ming-Chi Kuo from TF International Securities, the iPhone 17 Pro Max, which debuts in just a month at Apple's annual September event, promises to be the pinnacle of this philosophy. While the new Air model will attract attention with its ultra-thin profile, Pro Max focuses on practical improvements that may convince even skeptics to upgrade their gadgets. Here are three key features, supported by leaks from Asian component suppliers, making this smartphone not just an update but a potential bestseller.
Firstly, the anti-reflective display — this is not just a cosmetic detail but a real breakthrough in everyday use. According to data from Korean factories Samsung Display, which supplies screens for Apple, the iPhone 17 Pro and Pro Max will feature a new coating similar to Corning's Gorilla Glass Armor used in the Galaxy S25 Ultra. This nanostructured technology reduces glare by 75% compared to previous models, making the screen perfect for sunny days or bright office lighting. Industry insiders confirm that Apple has resolved manufacturing issues that delayed this feature in past years, and now it will combine with increased scratch resistance. Imagine: you're on the beach or in a park, and your smartphone doesn't turn into a mirror — this is not only convenient but could also prevent premature OLED panel burn-in. For those relying on their mobile devices for work on the go, this feature becomes a compelling argument for the Pro Max.
Second — the largest battery in iPhone history, promising to end the "battery anxiety." According to leaks from Chinese suppliers like Sunway, the Pro Max's chassis will be 0.2 mm thicker to accommodate a battery capacity of over 4700 mAh — 10-15% more than the iPhone 16 Pro Max. Bloomberg analysts note that this decision is partly driven by EU requirements for removable batteries by 2027, but Apple is using it to maximize autonomy. In my conversations with engineers close to the project, they mentioned optimization for iOS 26, which integrates AI features that consume more power, such as real-time photo processing or voice commands. The result? Up to 30 hours of video playback without charging, according to prototype tests. For professionals who shoot content or work in the field, these are not just figures — they are freedom from constantly searching for a socket, making the Pro Max an ideal companion for long days.
Finally, camera upgrades that elevate the iPhone to the level of professional cinema equipment. Leaks from Sony and Largan Precision supply chains confirm that the front TrueDepth camera will increase to 24 megapixels (up from 12 MP), and the telephoto lens will move to 48 MP, making all three rear sensors equally powerful. This will allow 8x optical zoom without quality loss, as seen in Hollywood projects like "28 Years Later," which already used the iPhone for filming. Additional rumors backed by Apple patents mention a second camera control button for quick access, multi-camera video recording, and even a professional RAW editing app directly on the device. According to sources in Silicon Valley, these enhancements are integrated with the A19 Pro chip, which provides faster image processing through neural networks. For content creators or photography enthusiasts, this means the iPhone 17 Pro Max is not just capable of shooting — it inspires the creation of masterpieces, surpassing competitors such as Pixel 10 Pro.
Of course, these rumors are not yet official, but Apple's pattern of turning leaks into reality makes them convincing. If you're hesitant to purchase, wait for September: the iPhone 17 Pro Max may become the device that not only updates but rethinks your digital world. And with potential price increases due to premium components, this is an investment in the future that will pay off handsomely.
