iPhone 18 Pro Max Sets Battery Record via Software Workaround
The Apple iPhone 18 Pro Max has achieved the longest battery life ever recorded by PCMag, lasting 34 hours and 31 minutes in standardized tests. This performance is driven by a 5,567mAh battery and the efficient A20 Pro chip. To comply with international shipping rules that limit single-cell batteries to 20Wh, Apple uses a firmware lock that restricts charging until the device is first activated by the user.
