For the first time, Apple is equipping its Pro models with 12GB of RAM. Both the iPhone 17 Pro and iPhone 17 Pro Max will feature this significant 50% increase over the 8GB in the previous generation.

According to the latest regulatory filings, the iPhone 17 Pro Max features a battery with a capacity of 5,088 mAh, making it the largest battery ever in an iPhone. This represents a significant 8.6% increase over the previous generation and is a key factor in what Apple is calling the “longest-lasting iPhone ever.”

The iPhone 17 Pro Max starts at €1,449 in Germany for the base 256GB model.

While everyone is talking about the new processors that make the latest iPhones fast, there’s another new chip inside that’s a really big deal. It’s called the Apple N1, and it’s the first time Apple has made its own chip to handle Wi-Fi and Bluetooth for the iPhone.

While the original Ceramic Shield focused almost entirely on shatter resistance, this second generation is engineered to solve the two biggest real-world complaints about smartphone screens: scratches and glare.
