- The iPhone 18 Pro Max is rumored to feature a bigger battery than the current generation.
- The international variant of the iPhone 18 Pro could feature a battery capacity ranging between 5,100 and 5,200mAh.
- This will be higher than the battery capacity expected of the Galaxy S26 Ultra.
With the launch of the iPhone 17 Pro last year, Apple flipped the narrative around minimal upgrades to its flagship phones. Even though the iPhone 17 Pro and 17 Pro Max were only slightly refashioned, the changes were enough to make it the highest-selling phone series of the past quarter. One area where it clearly shone was its impressive battery life. Meanwhile, Samsung has also faced the same criticism but remains in limbo with the same cameras and battery packs, especially on the Ultra, for nearly four generations. With the Galaxy S26 Ultra, the inertia could be more damaging, especially as Apple could surpass the Ultra.
Famed leaker Digital Chat Station recently suggested that the next-generation top-tier iPhone could have its battery capacity bumped up over the current generation. According to the leaker, the iPhone 18 Pro Max’s battery could exceed 5,000mAh, adding that the international variants could feature maximum battery capacity ranging between 5,100 and 5,200mAh.
