iPhone 18 Pro Max Design Leak: Apple Plays Safe With Big Power Upgrade

The iPhone 18 Pro Max is expected to maintain a design similar to its predecessor, the iPhone 17 Pro Max, focusing on performance, camera, and battery upgrades rather than radical design changes

Apple is reportedly considering darker, richer color options for the iPhone 18 Pro Max, such as deep purple, burgundy, and coffee brown, which could entice potential buyers

The front design might see improvements with under-display Face ID, allowing for a cleaner look, while the Dynamic Island feature could become less distracting but will likely remain due to its integration with Live Activities and navigation

Significant camera enhancements are anticipated, including a variable aperture system, a new three-layer stacked image sensor, improved dynamic range, reduced noise, and larger apertures, promising better low-light shots and natural background blur

The iPhone 18 Pro Max will be powered by the A20 Pro chip, utilizing TSMC’s advanced 2nm process, providing around a 15% performance boost, up to 30% better power efficiency, and improved heat management

With RAM integrated directly with the CPU and GPU, the phone should perform faster and more efficiently, enhancing AI features and multitasking capabilities

Battery capacity is expected to increase to around 5,100mAh, potentially making the phone slightly thicker and heavier, but offering longer battery life, which many users will appreciate
