Leaked Details Suggest Regional Battery Variants for iPhone 18 Pro Models
Leaked reports indicate that the upcoming iPhone 18 Pro will have two battery variants: a 4,288mAh battery for the US model and a smaller 4,056mAh battery for the China model. This difference is attributed to Apple's SIM card strategy, with US models using eSIM only, allowing more internal space for a larger battery. The battery upgrade over the iPhone 17 Pro is modest. Pricing details remain unconfirmed, and it is unclear which variant will be sold in India, where physical SIM slots are still used.
