Apple's upcoming iPhone 18 Pro and 18 Pro Max models are set to feature increased battery capacities, according to regulatory filings in China. These upgrades are primarily driven by the power demands of on-device AI processing through the new A20 chipset and enhanced Apple Intelligence features in iOS 27. While US models will have slightly larger batteries due to eSIM implementation, both regions will see significant capacity increases compared to the iPhone 17 Pro, though Apple continues to use traditional lithium-ion polymer batteries instead of silicon-carbon technology found in some competitors.
