Apple has created a software trick that lets iPhone 18 Pro Max users bypass the 20‑Wh shipping limit. A temporary charging cap is applied during transport and removed after the first power‑on, allowing the full battery capacity of roughly 21.7 Wh (U.S. model) or 21.1 Wh (EU model). The limit is enforced in the U.S. since 2025, while other international bodies have not issued clear guidance.
