Yes, the iPhone 17 Pro Max will be thicker and heavier, but most would prefer to carry around a heavier, bulkier phone if it results in longer battery life. If a sleeker, svelte iPhone is your cup of tea, this year brings the ultra-thin iPhone 17 Air to the marketplace.

If I were to update to a new iPhone model this year, I would stick with the model I always buy-the latest iPhone Pro Max model. And if this device does come with a 5000mAh cell, battery life is going to be tremendous. Of course, I’m still considering the Pixel 10 Pro XL, the Pixel 10 Pro Fold , or even the Pixel 9 Pro Fold to save some bucks.
