iPhone 18 Pro will be unveiled soon , and rumors indicate the Pro Max model could have unique advantages this year in a key area or two. Here’s what to expect.
Battery life on iPhone 18 Pro Max was always going to be better than iPhone 18 Pro. Here’s an overview of leaked battery capacities compared to last year’s specs, for eSIM models: As you can see, iPhone 18 Pro Max will have a battery that’s about 10% larger than its predecessor. iPhone 18 Pro’s battery, meanwhile, is almost identical to iPhone 17 Pro. But if you’re on the fence about which model to choose, iPhone 18 Pro Max will have a bigger than usual battery advantage. One downside of a bigger battery is that the device will also be heavier relative to iPhone 18 Pro.
Besides the obvious Pro Max advantages—larger screen and longer battery—there’s sometimes also an exclusive camera feature. But per recent regulatory leaks , it sounds like that will prove more true than ever. Both new models should have better battery life thanks to efficiency gains from A20 Pro and the C2 modem. Another potential difference involves camera features. Hopefully both Pro models offer the same feature set. But last fall, a reputable leaker mentioned that the forthcoming variable aperture system might be Pro Max-exclusive.
