iPhone 18 Pro Max battery size details reportedly leak
▼ Summary
– Macworld reported alleged iPhone 18 Pro Max battery capacities of 5,425 mAh for eSIM models and 5,235 mAh for physical SIM models, based on social media leaks.
– These capacities represent significant increases from the iPhone 17 Pro Max’s batteries, which are 5,088 mAh (eSIM) and 4,823 mAh (physical SIM).
– The iPhone 18 Pro Max is expected to improve battery life further through efficiency gains from the A20 Pro chip.
– The report’s sourcing is questionable, as the social media posts are hard to trace to their original source.
– The timing of the leaks coincides with a legitimate data breach at Apple supplier Tata Electronics, suggesting the battery numbers may be accurate.
A fresh report from Macworld, drawing from social media leaks, has surfaced with what it claims are the exact battery specs for the upcoming iPhone 18 Pro Max. If accurate, the numbers suggest a meaningful upgrade in power capacity.
According to the leak, the aligned iPhone 18 Pro Max battery capacities break down as follows: the eSIM model would pack 5,425 mAh, while the physical SIM variant would come in at 5,235 mAh. These figures represent notable jumps from the iPhone 17 Pro Max, which currently offers 5,088 mAh for eSIM and 4,823 mAh for physical SIM configurations.
The iPhone 17 Pro Max already delivers strong battery performance. The iPhone 18 Pro Max is expected to exceed it not just through a physically larger battery but also via improved efficiency from the A20 Pro chipset. That combination could make for a device that lasts significantly longer between charges.
However, the source of this leak deserves scrutiny. The report points to a scattered collection of social media posts, many of which are difficult to trace back to a credible origin. The strongest argument for these numbers being real lies in their timing. They coincide with a very real data breach at Tata Electronics, an Apple supplier. Leaks emerging from that incident have so far appeared legitimate.
It is unclear whether these battery figures actually came from the Tata breach, but the timing and the murky sourcing make it a plausible possibility. If they hold true, the iPhone 18 Pro Max could offer a remarkably long-lasting battery experience.
