The upcoming iPhone 18 Pro Max is set to impress users with a larger battery, enhancing its already exceptional battery life, according to insights from a reliable Weibo leaker known as “Digital Chat Station.” The new model is anticipated to feature a battery capacity of approximately 5,100 to 5,200 mAh, significantly surpassing the current iPhone 17 Pro Max’s capacity of 5,088 mAh.
This larger battery, combined with the power efficiency of the A20 Pro chip, which is manufactured using TSMC’s advanced 2nm process, suggests that the iPhone 18 Pro Max could achieve battery life exceeding 40 hours. The device is expected to be slightly thicker than its predecessor to accommodate this enhanced battery size.
Apple’s ongoing commitment to battery performance is underscored by recent tests showing that Apple devices excel in battery longevity, with the iPhone 17 Pro Max recently ranking as the longest-lasting phone in independent evaluations. This trend is likely to continue with the iPhone 18 Pro series.
In addition to its standard offerings, Apple is also rumored to unveil its first foldable iPhone alongside the iPhone 18 Pro and Pro Max. This innovative device is speculated to feature a battery capacity exceeding 5,500 mAh, potentially making it the largest battery in any iPhone and surpassing rival foldable devices.
The iPhone 18 Pro and Pro Max are expected to launch later this year, bringing advanced features such as a more compact Dynamic Island, the C2 modem, a streamlined Camera Control, an upgraded 24-megapixel front camera, and an enhanced main camera equipped with a variable aperture. As Apple continues to push the boundaries of technology and user experience, the anticipation surrounding the iPhone 18 series is at an all-time high.
