Apple just showed Android OEMs how to get around battery capacity regulations. More Android phones in US, EU could finally get huge batteries, thanks to Apple. This feature caps the iPhone’s battery capacity during transport, allowing the iPhone 18 Pro Max to meet transport requirements in many countries.
The cap is removed once the phone is activated, allowing for higher battery capacities in Europe, the US, and other markets. Smartphone batteries have grown exponentially in the last few years, with 6,000mAh, 7,000mAh, and even 10,000mAh batteries on the market. Unfortunately, transport regulations in many markets place a cap on the size of an individual battery cell.
This forces smartphone makers to adopt dual-cell battery designs or use smaller batteries, but Apple revealed a nifty solution with the iPhone 18 Pro Max. Europe, the US, and international transport networks have a 20Wh cap on a small single-cell battery.
