Apple’s iPhone 17 series will be unveiled this autumn, and a new hands-on video has just given an impressive look at the bulkier, weightier iPhone 17 Pro Max model that is on the way.
### iPhone 17 Pro Max adopts a thicker Ultra-style design
As Apple reveals its latest flagship iPhones in September, a considerable amount of attention will be directed toward the ultra-sleek iPhone 17 Air. The 17 Air will take the place of the Plus model in Apple’s offerings and is set to become the thinnest iPhone ever, with a mere thickness of 5.6mm. Yet, while the 17 Air embraces this ultra-slim approach, Apple is making a strong move in the opposite direction with another model.
The iPhone 17 Pro Max is becoming even bulkier and heavier than its predecessor. Here’s a summary of the distinctions:
– **iPhone 16 Pro Max**: 8.25mm thick
– **iPhone 17 Pro Max**: 8.725mm thick
In comparison, the sibling iPhone 17 Air will measure only 5.6mm in thickness. A fresh video shared on X by Majin Bu showcases a dummy model reflecting the leaked dimensions of the 17 Pro Max. The brief, 33-second clip reveals views of the more substantial Pro Max model from several perspectives.
When rumors initially surfaced regarding the 17 Pro Max growing thicker to incorporate a larger battery, there was speculation about a potential Ultra rebranding. While faith in the concept of an iPhone 17 Ultra has waned, the sturdier, more robust aesthetic corresponds with the design ethos of the Apple Watch Ultra.
