iPhone 18 Pro Battery Capacity Details Leak, Enhancing eSIM Offering in Europe
A recent leak reveals the iPhone 18 Pro will feature a 4,056 mAh battery for physical SIM versions and 4,288 mAh for eSIM variants, coinciding with a broader launch of eSIM technology in European markets.
The upcoming iPhone 18 Pro is expected to come equipped with a 4,056 mAh battery in models that utilize physical SIM cards and a larger 4,288 mAh battery for those using eSIM technology. This marks an increase of approximately 68 mAh for physical SIM variants and 36 mAh for eSIM models compared to the previous iPhone 17 Pro versions.
Significantly, the introduction of eSIM-only support in Europe will enable users in the EU to benefit from the higher capacity battery, which had previously been unavailable to customers who opted for physical SIMs. This move aims to enhance the overall user experience in a market that has been limited to lower battery capacities in the past.
Additionally, the iPhone 18 Pro is set to feature Apple's A20 Pro chip produced using TSMC's 2 nm process technology, which is anticipated to provide improved power efficiency and performance. There are also indications that Apple may phase out physical SIM support entirely, which would eliminate the disparity in battery sizes across different regions.
In related news, leaks suggest the iPhone 18 Pro Max could include even larger batteries, ranging from approximately 5,100 to 5,200 mAh for eSIM models and about 5,000 mAh for physical SIM variants. However, Apple has not officially confirmed any of these specifications.
