Blogger Majin Bu has leaked a new battery design for the upcoming iPhone 17 Pro on social media.
The leaked images reveal the iPhone 17 Pro will feature an L-shaped battery， enclosed in a steel casing designed to enhance heat dissipation efficiency.
A notable distinction has been observed between the US and Chinese variants of the iPhone 17 Pro’s battery. In the bottom right corner of the device’s chassis， the L-shaped battery in the China version includes a dedicated space for a physical SIM card slot. Conversely， the US version of the iPhone 17 Pro， which relies entirely on eSIM technology， does not require this reservation， potentially allowing for a more compact internal layout or additional component space.
In terms of industrial design， the iPhone 17 Pro is expected to sport a prominent， horizontally oriented camera module. The LED flash and LiDAR scanner are positioned on the right side of this module. The device will be equipped with three 48-megapixel cameras， signaling one of the most significant design evolutions for Apple’s Pro models in recent years. This larger camera housing might also accommodate the advanced internal components and thermal management systems.
Regarding core specifications， the iPhone 17 Pro is anticipated to feature a 120Hz high-refresh-rate display. The screen is reported to incorporate an anti-scratch， wear-resistant， and anti-glare coating for enhanced durability and viewing experience. Powering the device will be the A19 Pro processor. Furthermore， the iPhone 17 Pro will reportedly introduce a vapor chamber cooling system for the first time， paired with 12GB of RAM. This robust thermal management solution is crucial for sustaining peak performance from the new processor and the rumored graphical capabilities.
It is worth noting that due to anticipated tariff impacts， analysts predict that the iPhone 17 Pro will experience a price increase. The device is expected to break the $1000 mark for the first time， with a starting price estimated at $1049.
