Overview
- Instant Digital and Digital Chat Station report the iPhone 18 Pro Max may top 240 grams, roughly 10 grams over the current 233‑gram 17 Pro Max.
- The device is rumored to be close to 9mm thick versus the 8.8mm profile of the latest Pro Max, suggesting a modest increase in size.
- Reports attribute the added mass to an under‑display Face ID system, reworked camera modules, and a steel‑encased battery.
- Leakers also point to a revised rear glass intended to minimize the two‑tone look seen on recent Pro models.
- Coverage links the 2026 Pro models to next‑gen A20/A20 Pro chips (possibly 2nm) and expects a September 2026 Pro launch, with base models potentially slipping to early 2027.
