iPhone 18 Pro Battery Capacities Allegedly Leaked

[The Game 161]

time to release silcon carbon batteries really. granted 4288 or whatever will do ok and fine but the potential for so much more is there without a doubt

Thanks EU for forcing me into buying iPhones with inferior batteries.

Every night when I have 1% battery I thank you for forcing me buying iPhones with a sim tray that I have never ever used.

What would we ever do without you EU

If you're ending the day every day with 1% battery, there may be other factors at play aside from that extra 200mAh...

Well it was confirmed that the iPhone 18 Pro’s would be thicker physically so a bigger battery 🔋 is expected.

Apple 🍎 doesn’t trust the reliability of silicon carbon batteries 🪫 and instead will use lithium ion high density batteries 🔋

That doesn’t justify the removal of the SIM card tray. SIM cards are still one of the most widely used things with smartphones, and fundamental, especially for people who travel outside the US.

Valid opinion, however …

Tim Cook likes to cut corners in order to maximize profits. The removal of the SIM card tray is just one of many examples of that.

this time they didn't replace the SIM slot with plastic. Batteries aren't cheap. So that's an unfair characterization of a legitimate product decision that you disagree with. Others do agree with the decision, including me. I would rather have the extra battery.

You can't please please everyone, that doesn't mean this a hostile move.

(In many other cases it is, sure.)

Shame they aren't using silicon carbon batteries yet. Imagine an iPhone with a 7,000 battery 😍

Apple 🍎 doesn’t like the long term reliability statistics of silicon carbon battery health 🪫 not lasting long and will instead use high density lithium ion batteries 🔋 with a more trusted long term reliability

I charge every night anyway.

Hopefully this means the rumors about the 18 pro max being noticeably thicker and heavier than the 17 pro max are false as well.

If there's no noticeable increase in battery size/weight, and the battery technology itself hasn't changed, then there probably won't be any noticeable increase in battery life. So the question is then why increase it at all? Is it so Apple can increase it unnoticeably every year from the previous year and hope that when people look back after a couple years they'll only notice their battery life has gotten better but not realize their phone has gotten thicker and heavier?🤔

You don’t understand, their life would totally turn around if they ended their day at 6% instead!

More or less, similar battery capacity. Even with a newer and more power efficient chip, expecting Apple to claim similar battery life (in hours).

Thank you EU for mandating removable batteries♥️
