These revelations reinforce the visual nature of the leaks that emerge before Apple’s official announcements.
Discreet battery growth on iPhone 18 Pro
In contrast to the significant advancement of the Pro Max model, the iPhone 18 Pro may not present such a significant increase in its battery capacity, which may frustrate some users.
The same source as the images indicates that the version with a physical chip slot of the iPhone 18 Pro will have 4,056 mAh. The model that only operates with eSIM will have 4,288 mAh.
