So then guys, we are around about five months away now from the launch of the iPhone 17 models, and specifically, you guys have tuned in today to hear about the iPhone 17 Pro and the iPhone 17 Pro Max, and also battery enhancements.
We are going to get what looks like that the iPhone 17 Pro and the iPhone 17 Pro Max is going to have the best battery life they’ve ever had on an iPhone, even outpacing the likes of the iPhone 16 Pro Max, and also other close rivals too, with similar kind of battery sizes out there, or even some of them slightly more.
And this is really exciting to actually hear about today. So let’s go over those big kind of upgrades we’re going to get, starting out with the first one, and that is, of course, to do with the actual size of the actual iPhone.
It’s actually going to be thicker than what we have right now with the iPhone 16 Pro Max. So, we’ve been told the dimensions of the iPhone 17 Pro Max are going to be slightly more thicker than what we have with the 16 Pro Max, like I just said there.
And the main reason why this is something great to hear about, is it means that Apple look like they’re going to probably even make even more space inside of their phones to actually give us a bigger battery inside of there.
And this is fantastic news to hear, because this means that possibly Apple finally might actually go over that barrier of 5,000 mAh battery. We are very close to that now with the iPhone 16 Pro Max.
We’re not quite over it yet. But still, do remember that the iPhone 16 Pro Max and its battery life is almost on par with, say, the likes of, say, the Galaxy S25 Ultra. So this is going to be really exciting to see that Apple, so first of all, you know, the big enhancement is going to be a slightly bigger battery.
This straightaway probably isn’t going to push it out, that it’s going to overtake the likes of the Galaxy S25 Ultra in battery life and some other devices out there.
But it gets even better for the second big upgrade. We’ve also been told that the new iPhone is going to get a new OLED display inside of it, which is going to be even more efficient than what we have right now with the likes of the iPhone 16 Pro Max and the 16 Pro. So again, battery life, when you’re actually using your phone, this means it’s going to be even better here.
So this is something also great to hear. And then for the third big upgrade we’ve also heard about is that we’re going to be getting the A19 Pro put inside of this iPhone.
And this means then that it’s going to be built on the new TSMC 3nm process, the newest one out there, which is even more efficient than what we have with the A18 Pro. So we’re going to get even more performance, yet it’s going to be even more efficient out there. And this is great news to hear.
So this means that the iPhone battery, you know, as you’re just using the phone, is going to definitely be even better there. But personally, my favourite one is the fourth big upgrade we’ve heard about.
And that is all to do with Apple actually making their own communication chip for the likes of the iPhone 17 Pro and the iPhone 17 Pro Max.
Battery Life
Earlier this year with the iPhone 16e, we actually got the C1 chip. This is Apple’s first 5G chip and Wi-Fi chip inside of their iPhone. And it actually managed to give a better battery life.
That combined with a slightly larger battery in the iPhone 16e, but both together has definitely made way to actually give better performance there and better battery life. So this is something to be excited to see, that Apple are going to be making something like this for the likes of the iPhone 17 Pro and the iPhone 17 Pro Max.
And they have been told that we will still be getting Wi-Fi 7 because obviously the likes of the 16e only had Wi-Fi 6 inside of it. So yeah, just be aware of that. Yeah, it is going to be Wi-Fi 7. So this is super exciting to see here.
Now, the actual fifth upgrade we could actually get inside of this new iPhone, but this hasn’t been 100% confirmed yet, is that we could also get a new carbon battery put inside of it.
Very similar to a lot of other kind of phones out there right now doing the same thing. Just like Oppo, like the N55 Fold right now, they managed to make an even thinner battery made out of carbon, and this is a 5,000 milliamp battery inside of it, and yet it even gives a better performance than, say, a standard sort of lithium battery out there, and this is crazy to see.
So you can imagine, with that sort of bigger space now for the iPhone, all those other enhancements too, if Apple were to put a carbon battery inside the likes of their iPhone 17 Pro, and the iPhone 17 Pro Max.
Like I said, all those other enhancements, it definitely means that the new iPhone is going to be amazing for battery life, and we are going to see massive, massive improvements over what we got with the iPhone 16 Pro Max, and also the iPhone 16 Pro.
The release date and price. Well, we’ll talk about the price in a second because I think you know where that’s going with tariffs and things like that, but let’s talk about the release date.
So we’ve been told that the next generation of the iPhones is most likely going to be coming out in September time this year, 2025.
Now, the main reason why it’s going to be around this time is because in previous years, this is when Apple tend to actually, you know, launch their new iPhones.
And we’ll probably also get new Apple Watches, maybe some new AirPods, and maybe one or two other devices too.
But the most likely time it’s going to be in the actual event, it’s going to be sort of the probably sort of early sort of teens of September time.
And then probably around about 10 days to two weeks later after that time where Apple do their launch event is when you’ll be able to get your hands on a new iPhone 17 Pro or the iPhone 17 Pro Max for the very first time.
So that is when you’ll be able to get your hands on it. Now, for price-wise, this is where things, as you know, if you’ve been following the world news, things are completely upside down.
Apparently, Donald Trump recently reversed his cause, as it were, to say that imports of Chinas of laptops, mobile phones and things like this, they won’t have the tariffs on them.
But then very shortly after that, he turned around and said, oh, we’re going to actually do some sort of tariffs on chips and things like this. And obviously, TSMC, who are the main sort of manufacturer of the chips for iPhones, well, they’re made in China.
And so that does mean that, unfortunately, that, yeah, maybe a tariff is going to come into play here. So right now, I am going to say that the price is up in the air, unless that does get settled down.
But if it does get settled down, it’s more than likely that Apple are probably going to retain around the same sort of price in what they have right now.
Price
So, you know, for the likes of, say, an iPhone 17 Pro, it’s probably going to be about $1,000 for the base model with 128 gigabytes of storage inside of it. And then, say, the 256 gigabyte, you know, iPhone 17 Pro Max, will be sold at about N2,190,000, you know, the same price as the iPhone 16 Pro Max.
Conclusion
Like I said, it is up in the air at the moment. And obviously, as more things come clearer with tariffs and things over the next few weeks, months or whatever, we’ll obviously get a clearer picture of what the price is going to be.
So definitely stand by on that. And the best way to do that is to make sure that you definitely subscribe to this channel and also hit that notification bell. Because obviously, I’ll be giving you all the latest and greatest news on the iPhone 17 models and also loads of other Apple products, too.
