Leaked Filings Indicate Larger Battery for iPhone 18 Pro Max, Minor Increase for Pro

Analysed 7 Jul 2026·5 sources analysed·China·Technology
Leaked Filings Indicate Larger Battery for iPhone 18 Pro Max, Minor Increase for ProPreviousNext

Leaked regulatory filings from China suggest the upcoming iPhone 18 Pro Max will feature Apple's largest battery yet, with the US model reportedly housing a 5,567mAh cell, larger than the international 5,357mAh version. The iPhone 18 Pro shows only minor battery increases compared to its predecessor. The difference is attributed to the US models' eSIM-only design, which frees internal space. These details remain unconfirmed but align with previous reliable leaks.
