iPhone 18 Pro Max battery capacity tipped, and it's not impressive
"Apple's upcoming iPhone 18 Pro lineup has been the subject of numerous leaks in recent weeks. The latest rumor now claims to reveal the battery capacity of the iPhone 18 Pro Max. In a post on Weibo, tipster Digital Chat Station claims that the iPhone 18 Pro Max will feature a 5,000mAh (or larger) battery in China. Meanwhile, the international variant is said to pack a slightly bigger battery, likely in the 5,100-5,200mAh range."
"The tipster claims that the phone will offer improved battery life thanks to the new 2nm A20 Pro chipset. The difference in battery capacity is due to the China-specific model featuring a physical SIM slot, while most international versions will only get eSIM. For context, the iPhone 17 Pro Max with a physical SIM slot packs a 4,832mAh battery, whereas the eSIM variant gets a slightly larger 5,088mAh cell."
iPhone 18 Pro Max reportedly uses a roughly 5,000mAh battery in China and a slightly larger 5,100–5,200mAh cell for international models. The international models gain capacity because many will be eSIM-only, while the China model retains a physical SIM slot that reduces internal space. The new 2nm A20 Pro chipset is expected to improve power efficiency and extend battery life. For comparison, iPhone 17 Pro Max measured about 4,832mAh with a physical SIM and about 5,088mAh for eSIM variants. Apple plans an iPhone 18 Pro release in September and may skip standard iPhone 18 models.
