Apple’s iPhone 17 Pro Max continues to impress users with its exceptional battery life, even after more than six months of use. Many report that a full day of use requires no mid-day charging, highlighting the device’s efficient power management.
Looking ahead, the iPhone 18 Pro Max is expected to bring further improvements in battery life. According to leaker Digital Chat Station via MacRumors, the upcoming flagship may feature a 5,100–5,200 mAh battery, slightly higher than the iPhone 17 Pro Max’s 5,088 mAh capacity.
Experts believe the new device will also benefit from Apple’s A20 Pro chip, built using TSMC’s 2-nanometer process. This chip promises better efficiency than the A19 Pro, which could allow the iPhone 18 Pro Max to last 1.5 to 2 days on a single charge, depending on usage.
Despite the improvements, the iPhone 18 Pro Max may not have the largest battery among Apple’s upcoming devices. The rumored iPhone Fold is expected to come with a 5,500 mAh battery. However, its larger 7.8-inch display when unfolded may lead to higher energy consumption, potentially affecting its battery life.
Users eager for long-lasting devices may still find the iPhone 18 Pro Max more practical than the foldable model, given the balance between screen size and energy efficiency. Reports suggest the iPhone Fold will be a premium device, likely costing over $2,000, making the Pro Max a more affordable yet powerful option.
Analysts say that Apple continues to prioritize battery performance alongside processing power. The combination of higher capacity and a more efficient chip in the iPhone 18 Pro Max indicates that users can expect reliable battery life, even with intensive daily use.
With Apple’s focus on efficiency and long-lasting devices, the next-generation iPhones are poised to satisfy users who value extended usage without frequent charging.
