The device could ship with a 5,567mAh cell in its U.S. version. That figure sits nearly 500mAh above the capacity of the iPhone 17 Pro Max and marks one of the largest single-year gains Apple has targeted in recent memory.<\/p>\n<p><span id=\"more-249673\"\/><br \/><iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"iPhone 18 Pro \u2013 MASSIVE New Leaks!\" width=\"640\" height=\"360\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/lCg-u2JQZ38?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" referrerpolicy=\"strict-origin-when-cross-origin\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe><br \/>A different filing reference mentions a slightly lower battery capacity, roughly 5,391mAh, on a non-US variant, while several reports round the headline figure to around 5,500mAh. In any case, the increase marks the biggest capacity Apple has ever placed into an iPhone. Ice Universe ignited a social media debate: if the device requires a 240-gram body and a thickness of nearly 9mm to accommodate the larger battery, will buyers be satisfied? The post drew a lot of attention because the dimensions contradict the recent trend of lighter, smaller Pro Max models.<\/p>\n<p>    <span class=\"aawp-product__ribbon aawp-product__ribbon--sale\">Sale<\/span><\/p>\n<p>            <img decoding=\"async\" class=\"aawp-product__image\" src=\"https:\/\/m.media-amazon.com\/images\/I\/31hFR3C8umL._SL160_.jpg\" alt=\"Anker Smart Display Charger, Anker Nano USB C Charger Block, 45W Max GaN Phone Charger,180\u00b0 Foldable...\"\/><\/p>\n<p>            Anker Smart Display Charger, Anker Nano USB C Charger Block, 45W Max GaN Phone Charger,180\u00b0 Foldable&#8230;        <\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Smart iPhone Recognition with Care Mode: Automatically recognizes supported iPhone models and adjusts charging for smarter, safer power delivery&#8230;<\/li>\n<li>45W Max Fast Charging with Smart Power Adjustment: Delivers up to 45W of high-speed charging while adjusting output based on your battery level&#8230;<\/li>\n<li>Smart Display Controls: Tap once to view real-time charging status, double-tap to switch between modes, and press for 2 seconds to rotate the screen&#8230;<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>\nThe iPhone 17 Pro Max weighed 233 grams and was 8.75mm thick, while the iPhone 16 Pro Max was somewhat lighter at 227 grams.
