Apple iPhone 18 Pro hardware and battery specifications

Overview

Following the release of the iPhone 18 Pro series, EU energy labels revealed specific battery capacities for the Pro and Pro Max models. The Pro model features a 4,056mAh battery, while the Pro Max features a 5,391mAh battery. Under EU ratings, both models received an ‘A’ rating for energy efficiency, a ‘B’ for durability, and a ‘C’ for repairability.

Subsequent scrutiny has emerged regarding hardware discrepancies between regional versions. In Germany and the EU, models retain a physical SIM card slot, which results in lower battery capacities and video playback times compared to eSIM-only versions sold in the US, Canada, and Japan.

While the device maintains a middle-range repairability class of C, Apple’s self-assessment shows a slight increase in its repairability index from 3.04 to 3.14. Improvements were most notable in the ‘tools’ subcategory, which rose from 2.05 to 2.55, potentially due to EU regulatory pressure regarding hardware accessibility for third-party repairers.
