A Chinese leaker claims Apple’s battery supplier registered two cells totaling about 4,883mAh (roughly 4.8–5.0Ah) for a foldable iPhone, suggesting a dual-cell, book-style design and fueling expectations for an iPhone Ultra launch alongside the iPhone 18 Pro lineup in September; this figure sits near rival foldables and contradicts earlier rumors of even larger packs, leaving the exact capacity still uncertain.
Rumors suggest the iPhone 18 Pro Max will be roughly 2mm thicker and around 240g, driven by a larger 5,500mAh battery (with regional variations in capacity). If true, this would make it Apple’s heaviest iPhone in years, with an aluminum chassis and weight increases attributed to internal changes rather than a switch to heavier materials.
Apple’s iPhone 18 Pro Max is tipped to get its biggest battery boost yet, with US models reportedly packing a 5,567mAh cell (vs. 4,823–5,088mAh on the 17 Pro Max across regions) and Chinese variants around 4,056–4,288mAh. The jump is aided by Apple’s switch to an eSIM-only design in the US, freeing space for a larger pack, and is expected to pair with a next-gen A-series chip and more efficient displays to deliver noticeably longer endurance, narrowing the gap with Android flagships. Launch is anticipated later this year.
A leaker citing regulatory filings suggests the iPhone 18 Pro Max will have a significantly larger battery than the iPhone 17 Pro Max (about 5,391mAh in China and 5,567mAh in the U.S.), with the iPhone 18 Pro showing 4,056mAh (China) and 4,288mAh (U.S.). The numbers are unverified and may be affected by factors like the SIM tray. If confirmed, this could translate to roughly a 10% battery capacity increase and longer life, though actual performance depends on chips, display, and optimizations. The devices are expected to debut in early September, alongside a foldable reportedly named iPhone Ultra.
Chinese regulatory filings list battery capacities for the iPhone 18 Pro and iPhone 18 Pro Max: the Pro is rated at 4,056 mAh in China and 4,288 mAh in the U.S., while the Pro Max shows 5,391 mAh in China and 5,567 mAh in the U.S.—each about 0.5 Ah higher than the previous gen. The listings also enumerate battery models (S2232/2233 for the Pro; 2235L/2235 and 2236L/2236 for the Pro Max) with up to 21.751 Wh and a 4.520 V charge limit, valid through mid-2031. The region discrepancy reflects the SIM tray vs eSIM difference. Apple is 예상 to launch these models in September alongside a foldable iPhone, with spec rumors including a smaller Dynamic Island and camera/chip upgrades.
A Macworld-based report citing social media leaks claims the iPhone 18 Pro Max could feature significantly larger batteries: 5,425 mAh with an eSIM and 5,235 mAh with a physical SIM, up from the iPhone 17 Pro Max’s 5,088 mAh and 4,823 mAh. The sourcing is questionable, but timing aligns with a Tata Electronics data breach, which could lend plausibility. If accurate, the phone would likely offer longer battery life aided by efficiency gains from the A20 Pro chip.
Rumors from leaks suggest the iPhone 18 Pro Max will have different battery capacities by model: 5,425mAh for the eSIM version and 5,235mAh for the physical-SIM version, up from the iPhone 17 Pro Max’s figures. The report also mentions a vapor-chamber cooling system, a smaller Dynamic Island, a 48MP triple-camera setup, Samsung M16 LTPO+ OLED, and a new C2 modem enabling 5G mmWave and satellite features, plus four color options and a starting price around $1,399. All details are speculative and based on unconfirmed leaks.
Rumors suggest the iPhone 18 Pro will see only modest increases in battery capacity over the 17 Pro, with international versions around 5100mAh and the China version around 4056mAh, while a new A20 Pro chip on a 2nm process could boost efficiency and help battery life, though real-world impact awaits testing.
A MacRumors report cites a Weibo leaker, Digital Chat Station, claiming the iPhone 18 Pro will have regional battery differences: roughly 4,056 mAh for the China model (with SIM tray) and 4,288 mAh for the US model (eSIM-only), suggesting only a small year-over-year increase. Rumors also point to the iPhone 18 Pro Max potentially around 5,000 mAh (China) and 5,100–5,200 mAh (international), but these figures are unconfirmed and may come from regulatory databases or sample data. Even with modest gains, battery life could improve thanks to the A20 Pro chip built on a 2nm process and the new C2 modem. The phones are expected in September with features like a smaller Dynamic Island and an upgraded main camera with a variable aperture.
Samsung’s upcoming Galaxy Tab S12+ battery details have leaked, showing two 10,392mAh rated cells with a typical capacity around 10,500–10,600mAh — likely larger than the Tab S10+. The tablet is expected to feature a 12.4-inch OLED display at 120Hz, possibly powered by the Dimensity 9500+ with at least 12GB RAM and 256GB storage plus microSD, a quad-speaker Dolby Atmos setup, IP68 rating, included S Pen, and 45W charging, while camera specs remain unconfirmed.
OnePlus confirms the 15T will feature a 7,500mAh battery (20% larger than its predecessor) with 100W wired charging and 50W wireless charging, plus bypass charging to reduce heat during heavy use. It outperforms the Xiaomi 17 Pro (6,300mAh) and Vivo X300 (6,040mAh), and is larger than the standard OnePlus 15’s 7,300mAh. Rumors peg a March China release, with a 6.3-inch 1.5K display at 165Hz and a Snapdragon 8 Elite Gen 5 chipset; camera details and launch specifics are still leaking.
Rumors claim the iPhone Fold will mount a 5,500mAh battery—potentially Apple's largest ever—embedded in a dual-iPhone Air-like chassis with titanium alloy, vapor-chamber cooling, and an A20 Pro on a 2nm process; earlier testing floated a 5,400–5,800mAh range. Treat as speculation until official confirmation.
A German retailer has leaked European pricing for the Xiaomi 17, listing €1,099 for 512GB and suggesting a €999 base option, while the global version uses a 6,330mAh battery (smaller than China’s 7,000mAh) and 100W charging with Snapdragon 8 Elite Gen 5; launch outside China is expected after MWC 2026 ends in March.
Rumors from a Finnish retailer listing and tipsters suggest the Galaxy S26 base model will move from 128GB to a 256GB starting option (with a possible 512GB). The S26 Plus/Ultra storage may stay similar (256GB/512GB and 1TB for Ultra). Price rumors place the base at about $799, with the Plus at $999 and Ultra at $1,299. A slight battery boost is also rumored for the base model (around 4,300mAh) and faster charging across the line, with a February launch anticipated.
OnePlus is preparing to launch a new Turbo series of smartphones in 2026, featuring potentially massive 9,000 mAh batteries aimed at enhancing gaming and performance, with initial leaks suggesting these devices will be large, high-performance phones possibly exclusive to China.
