The iPhone 15 Pro Max battery capacity rumors that were shared earlier revealed that Apple’s top-tier flagship will have a sizable 4,852mAh cell, allowing it to last significantly longer than the iPhone 14 Pro Max. Unfortunately, before Apple’s ‘Wonderlust’ event kicks off on September 12, more details have come forth, claiming that the difference will be negligible and may disappoint those looking to upgrade.
On X, Majin Bu has shared the battery size of the iPhone 15 Pro Max, stating that it will have a 4,422mAh capacity, offering a pea-sized increase over the 4,323mAh cell found in the iPhone 14 Pro Max. There may be several reasons why Apple would be forced to use a small battery on its upcoming flagship, and one of them may have to do with it shipping with a bigger camera module.

Regardless, Majin Bu states that despite this small difference, users should experience better runtime with the handset, mostly thanks to the efficiency of the A17 Bionic, which is said to be mass produced on TSMC’s cutting-edge 3nm architecture.

According to a previous announcement, TSMC mentioned that its new manufacturing process could deliver up to 35 percent improved power-efficiency compared to the 4nm node. While this statement does not mean that the iPhone 15 Pro Max will deliver the same improvements in battery life, it can hint that early
