Back in November of last year, leaker Instant Digital said that the iPhone 18 Pro Max will be thicker and heavier still.<\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">They said the weight of this year\u2019s Pro Max would exceed 240g, making it the heaviest iPhone yet, and that it would be thicker than that year\u2019s model. They did not, however, give a specific dimension for the depth.<\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">However, fellow leaker Ice Universe disagrees and has today given a depth for the upcoming model of 8.75mm, exactly the same as its predecessor. They haven\u2019t said anything about the weight of the device.<\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Personally, I\u2019m not overly concerned about relatively small differences in size and weight. So long as it fits comfortably into my various pockets, I\u2019m happy. In particular, I think that battery life is a higher priority than size when it comes to the Pro models. <\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Earlier reports have suggested that the iPhone 18 Pro Max might get a worthwhile increase in battery capacity, while the non-Max version gets a far more modest one.<\/p>\n<p>\t\t\t<img decoding=\"async\" class=\"google-preferred-source-badge-dark\" src=\"https:\/\/9to5mac.com\/wp-content\/themes\/ninetofive\/dist\/images\/google-preferred-source-badge-dark.png\" alt=\"Add 9to5Mac as a preferred source on Google\"\/><br \/>\n\t\t\t<img decoding=\"async\" class=\"google-preferred-source-badge-light\" src=\"https:\/\/9to5mac.com\/wp-content\/themes\/ninetofive\/dist\/images\/google-preferred-source-badge-light.png\" alt=\"Add 9to5Mac as a preferred source on Google\"\/><\/p>\n<p class=\"disclaimer-affiliate\">FTC: We use income earning auto affiliate links.
