Apple's iPhone 18 Pro Max is still months away, but details about what may be inside it are already beginning to surface. A set of regulatory filings reportedly spotted in China suggest the next Pro Max could carry the largest battery Apple has ever shipped in the model, with American buyers potentially in line for an even bigger cell than the rest of the world.
None of this is confirmed. Apple has not said anything officially, and the filings have not been independently verified. But regulatory databases of this kind have historically been a reliable early indicator of battery specs, so the numbers are worth paying attention to.
