Key Points:
- iFixit published a detailed teardown of the iPhone 18 Pro and iPhone 18 Pro Max, confirming battery capacities of 4,288 mAh and 5,567 mAh respectively, showing slight increases compared to the iPhone 17 Pro models.
- The eSIM-only versions of these models are sold in select countries including the U.S., Canada, Japan, and several Middle Eastern nations, while other regions receive models with SIM card trays.
- The teardown reveals a new variable aperture system, a larger vapor chamber for improved cooling, and NAND memory integrated into a dual-layer logic board, complicating storage repairs.
- iFixit noted a new issue with the screen's plastic frame cracking or breaking in most of the iPhone 18 Pro units tested, a problem not observed in previous models, though further testing is required.
