New iPhone will get a record battery

Well-known insider Instant Digital reported exciting news for Apple fans on his Weibo blog: the upcoming flagship iPhone, expected to be released this fall, will be equipped with a battery of unprecedented capacity.

According to the specialist, in the iPhone 17 lineup, Apple will cross an important threshold for the first time - the battery of the top-tier iPhone 17 Pro Max model will reach an impressive 5000 milliampere-hours.

For comparison with previous models:

- iPhone 16 Pro Max: 4676 milliampere-hours

- iPhone 15 Pro Max: 4422 milliampere-hours

- iPhone 14 Pro Max: 4323 milliampere-hours

- iPhone 13 Pro Max: 4352 milliampere-hours

As Neowin journalists note, with this step Apple is finally partially solving one of the main problems of its smartphones. However, even with a battery increased to 5000 milliampere-hours, the American manufacturer's devices will still lag behind some Chinese competitors, whose models are equipped with batteries with capacities of 6000-7000 milliampere-hours.
