The iPhone 17 Pro Max is shaping up to be a battery beast. According to a new leak from Weibo tipster Instant Digital, the next-gen flagship will come equipped with a 5,000mAh battery, the largest ever seen in any iPhone to date.
Here’s How The iPhone 17 Pro Max 5000mAh Battery Compares to Existing iPhones
For comparison, here’s how the iPhone Pro Max battery sizes have progressed over the years:
- iPhone 11 Pro Max: 3,969mAh
- iPhone 12 Pro Max: 3,687mAh
- iPhone 13 Pro Max: 4,352mAh

What Does a 5,000mAh Battery Mean for iPhone Users?
The current iPhone 16 Pro Max is expected to deliver up to 33 hours of battery life. With a jump to 5,000mAh, the iPhone 17 Pro Max could push that even further, maybe 35+ hours, especially with the new A19 Pro chip, Snapdragon X80 modem rumored to bring major power efficiency gains. Throw in the Adaptive Power feature in iOS 26, the new iPhone could be in for some serious uptime!

Bigger Battery, Thicker iPhone?
Interestingly, earlier leaks also suggest that the iPhone 17 Pro Max will be thicker and heavier than its predecessor. This battery bump could explain why. A physically larger battery may be Apple’s way of boosting performance while maintaining all-day endurance.
