Summary
Regulatory leaks point to the iPhone 18 Pro Max carrying a 5,567mAh battery, about 10% above the iPhone 17 Pro Max and far ahead of the iPhone 18 Pro's 4,288mAh cell.
That gap suggests Apple is widening the usual battery-life split inside its Pro lineup, even though both new models are expected to gain efficiency from the A20 Pro chip and C2 modem.
The larger battery could bring a trade-off in added weight, making the Pro Max more differentiated than usual beyond its bigger screen.
Camera separation may widen too: a previously rumored variable-aperture system could be reserved for the Pro Max, though that claim remains unconfirmed.
If the leaks hold, Apple would be leaning again on battery and camera perks to justify the larger, pricier Pro Max over the standard Pro.
