  "account": "Apple has announced the battery capacities for the upcoming iPhone 18 Pro and iPhone 18 Pro Max in Europe, which may offer clues as to how they compare to the iPhone 17 Pro models. European Union regulations now require phones to display publicly accessible Energy Labels that include battery capacity information. According to these listings, the iPhone 18 Pro will feature a 4,056 mAh battery, while the iPhone 18 Pro Max will have a 5,391 mAh capacity in the EU and related regions. Although the North American models may have slightly larger batteries due to the absence of eSIM-only options, the EU versions provide a clear benchmark for comparison.\n\nCompared to the iPhone 17 Pro models, the EU iPhone 18 Pro has a smaller battery, with a 5% difference (4,056 mAh vs. 4,252 mAh, a -4.71% decrease). Interestingly, it has 1.44% more battery capacity than the nano-SIM variant of the iPhone 17 Pro. If this trend holds true, the eSIM-only iPhone 18 Pro may have around 4,313 mAh of battery capacity. The EU iPhone 18 Pro Max's battery is 5.78% larger than the eSIM-only iPhone 17 Pro Max's battery and 11.12% more than the nano SIM iPhone 17 Pro Max's battery. If the eSIM and nano SIM variants of the 18 Pro Max have similar size differences, the iPhone 18 Pro Max could have up to 5,653 mAh of battery capacity — a surprising figure given Apple's typical battery sizes.\n\nWhile it's uncertain whether the new batteries will be as large as these estimates, without Apple revealing more specifications, we'll have to wait for the September 18 release date to see the actual devices. The iPhone Duo, which is due to launch on October 23, will also have to wait a few months before similar regulatory filings are available.",
