Apple’s Next iPhone Might Be Heavier and Thicker
ChinaWed Mar 11 2026
The newest Apple phone could be a bit thicker than the last model, with a height of 8. 8mm instead of 8. 75mm on the previous version.
Reports from a frequent leaker on Weibo say that this change may also make the phone heavier, possibly over 240 grams.
A heavier body could mean a larger battery inside, which some users want for longer use between charges.
Another source claims the battery could hold between 5, 100 and 5, 200 mAh, up from about 5, 088 mAh in the earlier model.
The screen size is expected to stay the same at 6. 9 inches, so the display won’t change.
Later this year, both the Pro and Pro Max models are expected to arrive with new features like a smaller Dynamic Island, a newer modem, easier camera controls, and an upgraded main camera that can adjust its aperture.
These changes hint at a focus on performance and usability, but the heavier weight may affect how comfortable the phone feels.
Consumers who value battery life might welcome the increase, while those who prefer a lighter device could be disappointed.
The full details will become clearer once the phones launch.
