Apple's upcoming flagship model iPhone 18 Pro Max may usher in significant changes in appearance design and internal specifications, and its body thickness and weight are expected to increase.
Well-known whistleblower Bing Universe recently revealed that the iPhone 18 Pro Max will have a body thickness of approximately 9 mm and a weight of approximately 240 grams. Compared with the current iPhone 17 Pro Max, the thickness of the new phone has increased by about 0.25 mm, and the weight has increased by about 7 grams.
This specification adjustment is mainly due to the significant increase in battery capacity. According to recently leaked regulatory filings, the iPhone 18 Pro Max is expected to be equipped with a 5391mAh battery in the Chinese market, while it will be equipped with a 5567mAh battery in the US market, an increase of nearly 500mAh from the previous generation. In addition to the physical requirements brought by the large-capacity battery, Apple is also rumored to have used a new stainless steel heat sink for the model. This internal structural adjustment may also have a certain impact on the thickness and weight of the device.
If the above news is true, the iPhone 18 Pro Max may become Apple’s heaviest iPhone model ever. It is worth noting that this device will also be officially released in September this year together with Apple’s first folding screen mobile phone. In addition, there are many rumors surrounding this series of models, including high-performance A20 Pro chips, new color schemes, etc., showing that Apple is trying to further strengthen the competitiveness of its flagship product line through hardware upgrades.
