From what I can inform, Samsung is making use of its design philosophy for the Galaxy S25 Edge to its high tier mannequin, whereas Apple is choosing extra battery area as a substitute.
If present rumors (not confirmed experiences) are something to go by, then the iPhone 17 Professional Max will include a 5,000 mAh battery. Nevertheless, so will the S26 Extremelywith some predicting that Samsung might lastly use denser battery know-how to realize the identical capability in much less area.

In keeping with the experiences, the iPhone 17 Professional Max might be 8.76 mm thick, and the S26 Extremely might be lower than 8 mm however over 7 mm. The present iPhone 16 Professional Max is 8.25 mm thick, which implies that Apple is not making an attempt to slim down its flagship mannequin annually. If an Apple person desires a slimmer expertise, they’ll must go for the iPhone 17 Air, which can solely have a battery capability of two,800 mAh.
Apple is doing what I’ve been wanting telephone firms to do for a very long time: rising battery capability as a substitute of slimming down an already very slim telephone. And if Samsung actually is continuous to slim down its telephones, then the next few years will introduce a serious distinction between the iPhone and Galaxy telephones.
Chinese language telephones are hitting the restrict of silicon batteries, with some telephones even reaching 8,000 mAh capacities: just like the Honor Energy. Whereas 5,000 mAh on the iPhone 17 Professional Max isn’t a lot, it’s nonetheless greater than its predecessor. I’m glad that at the least one among these two high canine is shifting in what I believe is the fitting route.
