Recent leaks say that Apple is going to change the design of the iPhone 18 Pro Max in a big way. Under-display Face ID might be the most interesting feature, as it could make the Dynamic Island completely unnecessary.
DON'T MISS
Instead, Apple is expected to go with a simpler full-screen look that uses a small pinhole camera. The back will still have three cameras, but they will be in a more elegant glass case and come in new high-end colours like deep purple and burgundy.
Big Camera Jump in Focus
Apple appears to be putting a lot of money into new camera technology for the iPhone 18 Pro Max. Leaks point to a mechanical iris system that lets you change the aperture, which isn’t something that happens very often in smartphones.
This update could make depth control and taking pictures in low light much better. Also, it is expected that Samsung’s new three-layer stacked sensor will make dynamic range and image processing speed better.
A Performance Boost
The device will probably be powered by Apple’s upcoming A20 Pro chip, which promises to use less power and run faster. Apple might also make a bigger battery with a steel case to make it last longer and be safer.
With the Pro Max’s large 6.9-inch 120Hz screen, which makes the user experience smooth and interesting, display sizes are likely to stay the same.
Apple’s Change of Plans for 2026
It’s interesting that Apple might change how it launches the iPhone 18 Pro Max. Reports say that only Pro models and maybe a foldable iPhone will come out in 2026.
If the iPhone 18 is released in two parts, it might not come out until 2027. This move could help Apple better manage production, reduce overlap, and keep a steady stream of revenue coming in.
