If it's classic for you iPhone 18 Pro little and you are going to reach for the best this year Apple in a classic design, then you will be mainly interested in iPhone 18 Pro Max. Performance iPhone 18 Pro Max is practically at the door and although Apple of course, most of the details are still under wraps, we already know quite a bit about the phone. And this year it looks like Pro Max will not only be enlarged iPhonem 18 Pro with a larger display.
Apple will present it on September 9th at its autumn keynote and just iPhone 18 Pro Max should be at the very top of the classic iPhone line. Although the expected foldable will be above it in terms of price iPhone Ultra, but it will be a completely different type of device. So if you want a classic iPhone without a foldable display and you don't want to make virtually any compromises, the eighteen will be Pro Max model to focus on.
iPhone 18 Pro Max should tooneto make full use of your size
Pro Max has against smaller Pro one very clear advantage – there is simply more space inside his body. Apple In recent years, it has been used primarily for a larger battery, but this year the difference could be even more interesting than usual. According to information coming from Chinese regulatory databases, the US version of the iPhone is supposed to have 18 Pro Max battery with a capacity of 5567 mAh. Pro comparison, with iPhone 17 Pro Max we are talking about 5088 mAh.
This is no longer a cosmetic change. If the data is confirmed, we are talking about an increase of almost ten percent. And when we add to that the new A20 chip Pro manufactured using a 2nm process, which is expected to be more energy efficient, could be the iPhone 18 Pro Max This year's king of battery life among iPhones. But there's one catch. The larger battery has to fit somewhere, and according to current information, it will require a new Pro Max a little thicker and also heavier. The weight is supposed to be around 243 grams. So if you are already convinced that it is Pro Max A decent phone, the new generation probably won't please you in this regard. Apple he clearly prioritizes endurance over the pursuit of the thinnest possible body.

The display will remain huge, Dynamic Island but it will decrease
The size of the display itself would Apple should not have changed. iPhone 18 Pro Max It is still supposed to offer a 6,9″ panel, so if you were expecting further enlargement, you probably won’t get it. Honestly, that’s a good thing. There’s not much room for further growth on a phone this size anyway, unless it’s Apple doesn't want to make a small tablet. But the top part of the screen is supposed to change. Dynamic Island should be smaller than the current generation. Don't expect a perfectly clean display without any notch, which is speculated in connection with future iPhones. Apple However, it is supposed to move a bit closer to the goal of hiding as many sensors as possible under the screen.
One of the most interesting new features of this generation is supposed to be the main 48Mpx camera with variaIf the information is confirmed, iPhone will no longer work with a fixed aperture when shooting, but can physically regulate the amount of light hitting the sensor. On paper, this may not sound like a feature that will have you running to the store on your first day. But from a photographic perspective, this is a much more interesting change than another increase in megapixels. VariaA variable aperture can help your phone take photos in different lighting conditions and at the same time give Applu greater control over depth of field. It is important to add, however, that according to current information, this is not supposed to be a privilege Pro Maxu. Variathe smaller one should also get a billet screen iPhone 18 ProSo if you were hoping for a situation similar to some older generations, where Apple left the best camera only to the larger model, it doesn't look like it this year yet.
A big change will also happen inside the phone. The heart of the iPhone 18 Pro Max should be A20 Pro, i.e. the first chip Appfor iPhone manufactured using a 2nm process. Every year we talk about higher performance with new chips, but this time consumption may be even more important. The combination of a more efficient A20 Pro and the significantly larger battery is exactly the reason why the battery life is around this year Pro Maxso many expectations. The current iPhones already have a lot of performance to give away today, and the average user often doesn't even notice the difference between the individual generations of processors. But everyone will appreciate the few hours of extra battery life. The new chip is also supposed to work with the next generation of its own modem Applu referred to as C2. Apple is gradually trying to get an ever larger share of key componentsonent iPhone under its own control, which may help it in the future with performanceonem, consumption and connection of individual parts of the device.
How much will it be? iPhone 18 Pro Max state?
And now comes the part that may cool down the enthusiasm from the previous paragraphs a bit. iPhone 17 Pro Max started at $1199 in the United States, but virtually all recent reports are counting this year's Pro models with price increases. The reason is mainly significantly higher memory prices, but also more expensive production of the new 2nm chip and generally increasing costs of computers.onenty.
Estimates vary. More moderate scenarios predict a price increase of around $100 to $200, while more aggressive ones predict a price increase of up to $300. If Apple actually added two hundred, we would get to the basic iPhone 18 Pro Max somewhere around $1399. That's an amount that will hurt even customers used to buying the most expensive ones every year. iPhoneOf course, we don't know the Czech price yet and it doesn't make much sense to simply convert the American amount using the current exchange rate. Apple uses its own price conversions and American prices are also listed without tax. However, one thing is quite likely - if the price increase really happens in the US, we will also feel it here.
When does it start? iPhone 18 Pro Max sell?
We already know the first date exactly. Apple is hosting this year's iPhone keynote on Wednesday, September 9. It is on this day that we should see iPhone 18 Pro Max for the first time officially and at the same time learn its final price and the date of the start of sales. The start of pre-orders itself is a little more interesting this year. Normally, we would automatically point to Friday, September 11, because Apple traditionally launches pre-orders on the first Friday after keynote. But this year, this date falls on the 25th anniversary of the terrorist attacks of September 11, 2001, and Apple has already shown in the past that it can avoid this date on similar occasions. Therefore, a Saturday start of pre-orders cannot be ruled out, for example. The actual start of sales looks much more certain so far. This is expected on Friday, September 18. If the Czech Republic, as in recent years, is part of the first wave, we should expect a new Pro Maxu wait on the same day as the major world markets.
Pro Max this year it makes more sense mainly because of the battery
When we put all the information together, iPhone 18 Pro Max It doesn't yet feel like a phone that can compete with a smaller Pro hide ten exclusive features. And maybe that's a good thing. Both models are supposed to get A20 Pro, variasmall aperture, smaller Dynamic Island and other major news. Pro Max will be primarily for people who want a huge display and the best possible endurance and are willing to tolerate larger dimensions, higher weight and of course the price for this. The battery this year looks like an argument that may be significantly stronger than in previous generations. But we will wait until September 9th for the final verdict. Only then Apple will show which of the previous leaks really worked, how many new ones will be iPhone 18 Pro Max state and whether he has something in store for him that we don't know about yet.
