iPhone 17 Pro Max exposed: Smart Island has become smaller

iPhone 17 series product line will undergo major adjustments, canceling the Plus version and bringing four models: iPhone 17, iPhone 17 Slim, iPhone 17 Pro and iPhone 17 Pro Max.

Among them, the iPhone 17 Pro Max will adopt a smaller “super lens” design to further reduce the area of ​​the Smart Island . It is reported that the super lens used by Apple is a thin and flat lens that can focus light more accurately, allowing the area of ​​the Smart Island of the iPhone 17 Pro Max to be reduced.

This is the first major change Apple has made in screen design since the launch of the iPhone 14 Pro series in 2022. The front look of the iPhone 17 Pro Max will be further improved.

A blogger drew a front rendering of the iPhone 17 Pro Max based on the leaked information. With the extremely narrow bezel design, the 17 Pro Max has a higher screen-to-body ratio and the screen-lit effect is shocking.

It should be noted that this technology is only available on iPhone 17 Pro Max. It is expected that iPhone 17 Pro, iPhone 17 Slim and iPhone 17 will still use the same large Smart Island as the 16 series.

In terms of core configuration, the iPhone 17 Pro Max will be upgraded to 12GB of memory, which will be the Apple phone with the largest memory in history. Apple hopes that more edge-side AI functions will run smoothly on the device. In comparison, the iPhone 16 series is still in the 8GB memory era.

Guo Mingchi said that among the iPhones that will be released in 2025, only the iPhone 17 Pro Max will have 12GB of memory and will be upgraded to a combined cooling solution of VC and graphite sheet.
