Apple will officially announce the iPhone 17 Pro models on September 9, 2025. This will leave many wondering what the differences will be between the Pro and Pro Max versions. Previous models exhibited differing variations with the Pro Max sometimes receiving better cameras. Generally, the iPhone 17 Pro and Pro Max may have more in common than in years past. Let’s discuss what we can generally expect the two models to differ from each other based on leaks.
The iPhone 17 Pro has a 6.3-inch OLED display, while the Pro Max will have a noticeably bigger 6.9-inch OLED display. The Pro is targeted towards people who like to have smaller phones, while the Pro Max is targeted towards those who want a bigger screen. Both versions will include high-quality OLED technology. Size will affect how the phones feel in the hands and portability. Thus, it is worth evaluating what size you prefer.
As in recent years, it is very likely that the Pro Max will contain a much bigger battery. Information has suggested that there will be a 5,000 mAh battery in the Pro Max as opposed to the 4,676 mAh battery of the previous year’s model. We have on the Pro version have 3,700 to 4,000 mAh battery. The size of the Pro Max alone will supply more power, which can relate to longer time allowance. The Pro version still will have reasonable battery life.
It is possible that both camera models will have similar cameras all-lead to have a 48MP main sensor. Both could have an ultra-wide 48MP lens. The only camera that could vary will be the telephoto lens. Based on images of the camera lens characteristics of the Pro Max, it could provide as much as 3.5x to 3.7x zoom, whereas it could go up to 8x in other situations. There haven’t been specific indications to suggest the Pro Max exclusive camera features. Both should provide images that are photo-worthy.
The iPhone 16 Pro starts at ₹1,19,900 in India, while the Pro Max starts at ₹1,44,900. The iPhone 17 should have the same price gaps. The base storage tier for both models may also have some ammunition in the 256GB. This could align the Pro with the Pro Max. Some recent leaks indicate a possible price rise of around US$50. Pricing details are still unclear.
Models will likely feature lightweight aluminum frames. The glass backing may promote more durability. Rumours suggest a new horizontal camera bar. This design refresh changes the look. Both phones would likely see 25W wireless charging support. Expect ProMotion 120Hz refresh displays. No major design differences are presented.
Both models will likely feature the A19 Pro chip. Expect around 12GB RAM with ample performance. Both devices will run on iOS 26. Camera Control and Action Button will remain. Wi-Fi 7 and Bluetooth 5.3 are likely too. No exclusivity for features has been stated. Their performance should suit both equally.
Battery and size difference are worth noting. Pro Max features longer battery life. Pro is more compact and portable. The differences between the camera and performance seem indistinctive. Pricing will likely play a part. Wait for Apple’s event to see the conclusion.
