The upcoming iPhone 18 Pro Max is expected to be thicker and heavier than its predecessor, according to new leaks. The device will reportedly weigh 240 grams and measure 9 millimeters in thickness. In comparison, the current iPhone 17 Pro Max weighs 233 grams and has a thickness of 8.8 millimeters. This marks a modest increase, not as significant as some earlier rumors suggested.
The iPhone 18 Pro Max's increased thickness is likely due to a larger battery. The new model will be slightly heavier and thicker, but the difference is minimal compared to the previous generation. Users who are comfortable with the iPhone 17 Pro Max should not notice a substantial change in hand feel or usability.
The iPhone 18 Pro Max will offer a larger battery than before. The eSIM-only version will feature a 5,567 mAh battery, while the variant with a physical SIM card will have a 5,391 mAh battery. For comparison, the iPhone 17 Pro Max has a 5,088 mAh battery in the eSIM-only model and a 4,823 mAh battery in the physical SIM version. This increase in battery capacity is expected to provide longer usage between charges.
The changes in weight and thickness are relatively minor. The iPhone 18 Pro Max adds 7 grams and 0.2 millimeters compared to the iPhone 17 Pro Max. The main improvement comes from the higher battery capacity, which could enhance the device's battery life.
These details are based on recent leaks and may be subject to change before the official launch. Apple has not confirmed these specifications.
