iPhone 18 Pro Max and the standard Pro will debut together, while rumors suggest iPhone 18 has been pushed to 2027. This is all being done to accommodate their new Apple iPhone Fold into the series. Anyway, the specs are slowly piling up on each device. We learned that the iPhone 18 Pro Max is built around a 6.86” XDR OLED that has an LTPO refresh rate. But some of the sensors on the front have been hidden. That change has led to rumors of a smaller Dynamic Island cutout on the screen, though no one has accurately guessed what shape the notch will take on the iPhone 18 Pro Max. There’s a bigger battery here. Two versions, just like last time, will have ~5,000 mAh cell (with physical SIM) and between 5,100 mAh and 5,200 mAh battery size for the eSIM version. The gap is small but meaningful. And don’t forget that Apple is also putting a 2nm A20 Pro silicon on the iPhone 18 Pro Max. So it will be even more efficient. They don’t intend to change the phone’s design. The horizontal camera bar is still there, and three sensors are placed just as they were before. The iPhone 18 Pro Max could use variable aperture in the cameras for the first time. Samsung and Apple’s foldable war is about to begin this year. Galaxy S26 Ultra will be waiting for the iPhone 18 Pro Max by the time it gets unveiled. Apple has some serious competition to deal with in 2026.
