Why do iPhones get heavier?
The story mentions the iPhone 18 Pro Max will be heavier due to a larger battery. Battery capacity, measured in milliampere-hours (mAh), directly impacts a phone's weight and thickness. As tech advances, consumers often want longer battery life, pushing manufacturers to include bigger batteries, which inevitably makes devices bulkier.
