Apple has introduced a novel solution to bypass international shipping restrictions on battery capacity in its iPhone 18 Pro Max. The device ships with a portion of its battery capacity temporarily locked via software, which automatically unlocks upon user activation. This allows the iPhone 18 Pro Max to meet transport requirements in various countries while still offering a high-capacity battery to users.
