iPhone 18 rumored to get larger battery, higher price

A trusted but often accurate tipster has released details on the upcoming iPhone 18, indicating that it may come equipped with a larger battery. The source, Digital Chat Station, has been reposting earlier predictions as if they were fresh news, including some referring to the iPhone 18e. Their most recent posting, on Chinese social media platform Weibo, does include a mention of enhanced battery endurance.

However, the report does not specify the exact battery capacity, leading to the possibility that this could be just an educated guess. Historically, Apple has consistently augmented battery size with each successive model, as seen in the recent release of the iPhone 18 Pro, which boasted a larger battery than its predecessor, the iPhone 17.

The iPhone 17's increased battery capacity was partly attributed to the absence of a physical SIM card slot, a feature now unavailable. The leaked information also suggests that the iPhone 18's price point could be higher than that of the iPhone 17, but this could also be mere speculation. Despite this, the tipster anticipates that the iPhone 18 will be a highly sought-after device, without referencing Apple's recent production figures to support this claim.
