The third battery on the list - A2466 comes with a capacity of 3,687mAh and will likely be used on the 6.7-inch iPhone 12 Pro Max. A quick comparison to the iPhone 11 series reveals the new batteries feature lower capacities than their predecessors.

In addition to the battery certifications, a new 20W charger was also spotted on China’s 3C. A recent report from Ming-Chi Kuo brought rumors that Apple might not ship an actual charger (or earpods) with the iPhone 12 series so this might be an optional accessory.
