Apple iPhone 18 Pro leaks

A tipster on Chinese social media platform Weibo has claimed that the upcoming Pro models can be slightly thicker than their predecessors. The increased thickness is believed to create additional internal space for larger battery units to improve battery life as AI powered features become more demanding.

As per the leaked information, the iPhone 18 Pro Max can get a battery capacity crossing the 5,500mAh mark, a big jump from the iPhone 17 Pro Max. The standard iPhone 18 Pro is also expected to receive a modest battery upgrade over its predecessor, possibly a 4,200 mAh cell.

A different report citing regulatory documents filed in China also points in the same direction. While Apple has not officially confirmed any specifications, the documents suggest that both Pro models may receive larger batteries across different regional variants.
