Excitement is building up day by day for Apple's upcoming smartphone launch. The tech giant is expected to unveil the iPhone 17 series lineup sometime in September. Ahead of the event, a video has surfaced, showing a well-built mock-up of the iPhone 17 Pro Max.
The clip gives a closer look at what appears to be a dummy of the iPhone 17 Pro Max. The phone is expected to be 6.9 inches long and 8.725mm thick, as per reports.
iPhone 17 Pro Max Design Leaked?
Shared by tipster Majin Bu, the clip shows that the rear camera panel in the smartphone is in the same shade as the back of the device. Most leaks earlier showed the camera panel in black. In the mock-up, it seems like the camera panel is made of glass, with the phone's colour showing through.
The phone features the Camera Control button on the right and the Action and volume rocker controls on the left. Rumours indicated that the phone would be thicker than other models. The device is expected to have increased battery life as well. In the clip, the device does not look much heavier.
The phone appears to be a non-US iPhone, Forbes reported, as the SIM tray is located where the mmWave antenna lozenge is placed in American phones.

Majin Bu also dropped an image showing a dummy of the iPhone 17 Pro alongside the iPhone 16 Pro. The 16 Pro may have larger lenses compared to the newer model, though it could be an effect of being closer to the camera as well.

May 31, 2025iPhone 17 Series Expected Features
A report claims that the iPhone 17 Pro Max, 17 Pro and 17 Air will have 12 GB RAM. The basic iPhone 17 model is expected to have an 8 GB RAM. Other expected features in the latest series include the all-new Dynamic Island and new technology for the proximity sensor.
The iPhone 17 Pro and 17 Pro Max are expected to feature the A19 Pro chipset, while the 17 and 17 Air models will include the A19 processor. All devices will have a 120Hz LTPO display feature. The models are expected to include Apple's first custom-designed Wi-Fi chip with Wi-Fi 7 support, as per Macrumors. While the iPhone 16 models already use Wi-Fi 7, Apple's chip design could bring more efficiency and improve connectivity.
This will be the last time Apple will launch all its smartphone models at once. Starting in 2026, the company will divide its iPhone lineup between fall and spring.
