iPhone 17 Pro Max leaks: Apple’s upcoming powerhouse with 12GB DRAM and hybrid cooling system tipped

livemint.com:

iPhone 17 Pro Max could be its impressive 12GB of DRAM, a significant enhancement over the 8GB RAM that will be featured across the other 2025 iPhone models, such as the ultra-slim iPhone and the iPhone 17 Pro. This increase in memory is expected to significantly boost the device's on-device AI capabilities, making it an attractive option for users who prioritize high-performance smartphones.

The enhanced AI could lead to smoother photo processing, improved augmented reality functionalities, and overall a more seamless user experience.In addition to memory upgrades, the iPhone 17 Pro Max will likely introduce a cutting-edge cooling system. Apple also reportedly plans to integrate vapour chamber (VC) technology with graphite sheets in this model, a more advanced solution compared to the standalone graphite sheets that will be used in other models of the 2025 lineup.

This hybrid approach to cooling is crucial for maintaining optimal performance, especially during resource-intensive tasks such as gaming or extended usage periods, making it a potentially key advantage for the Pro Max.Apple's strategy of setting the Pro Max apart from its other models by offering superior specifications, beyond just a larger display, appears to be continuing with the iPhone 17 Pro Max. This approach has proven successful for Apple, with the Pro Max accounting for nearly 40 per cent of new model shipments, significantly contributing to the company’s revenue and profit.
