The iPhone 18 Pro Max Could Get a Mega Battery Upgrade

Leaked information suggests the upcoming iPhone 18 Pro Max will feature a larger battery and a slightly thicker, heavier chassis. The device is expected to see a significant price increase due to rising memory costs.
Why it matters
As a major consumer electronics product, changes to the iPhone's hardware and pricing strategy have broad implications for the tech market and consumer spending.
The forthcoming iPhone 18 Pro Max might have a significantly larger battery than last year’s Pro model, according to a new leak , potentially giving us a slightly bigger iPhone Pro body, too. Leaker Ice Universe claims the iPhone 18 Pro Max will come in at about 9mm thick and weigh about 240 grams—which would make the new device about 0.25mm thicker and 7 grams heavier than the iPhone 17 Pro Max.
