iFixit today published a teardown of the iPhone 18 Pro and iPhone 18 Pro Max in article and video format, providing a closer look inside the new devices. Teardown confirms battery capacities for eSIM-only models: iPhone 18 Pro: 4,288 mAh (+0.8% vs. 4,252 mAh for iPhone 17 Pro) iPhone 18 Pro Max: 5,567 mAh (+9.4% vs. 5,088 mAh for iPhone 17 Pro Max) eSIM-only models of the iPhone 18 Pro and iPhone 18 Pro Max are sold in the United States, Canada, Mexico, Japan, Saudi Arabia, United Arab Emirates, Qatar, Oman, Bahrain and Kuwait. In all other countries, devices have a SIM card tray. Battery capacities for iPhone 18 Pro models with SIM card trays appeared previously. The teardown also provides an in-depth look at the new variable aperture system on both models, the larger vapor chamber for cooling, and more. NAND is now located inside the dual-layer logic board, making storage-related repairs less convenient, according to iFixit. Additionally, the plastic screen frame cracked or broke on three of the four iPhone 18 Pro models it opened, which is a new problem it didn’t face with previous models. However, iFixit said more testing is needed.
