iPhone 18 Pro Max’s weight and thickness leak and it’s chunky | Infinium-tech

A rumor a few days ago doubled down on some previously leaked claims, suggesting that the iPhone 18 Pro is about 2mm thicker than its predecessor.

Today the prolific leaker known by Ice Universe has revealed the weight and thickness of the iPhone 18 Pro Max, and if these figures are accurate, it will be slightly larger than last year’s model. Apparently, its weight will be 240 grams and thickness will be 9 mm.

For comparison, note that the iPhone 17 Pro Max weighs 233 grams and is 8.8 mm thick, so the increase isn’t actually as big as previously rumored. If last year’s model looked good to you, the upcoming one will also look good.

But to put things in perspective, the upcoming Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 8 is rumored to weigh around 201 grams – and that’s a folding smartphone. Part of the iPhone 18 Pro Max’s upside is likely related to its increased battery capacity, which is certainly always a welcome improvement to see in a new phone release.

A recent certification revealed that it will have a 5,567 mAh battery in the eSIM-only version, while the model that retains the physical SIM card will have a 5,391 mAh battery. The numbers for the iPhone 17 Pro Max are 5,088 mAh and 4,823 mAh respectively.
