As per the tipster Instant Digital on Weibo, the Apple iPhone 18 Pro Max may offer a smaller Dynamic Island than the iPhone 17 Pro models. However, Apple may still miss out on the under-display Face ID.

In terms of design, the Apple iPhone 18 Pro Max may offer a subtle transparent finish, giving the device a fresh look while maintaining similar camera placement as the current series. As per the reports, the tech giant is reportedly testing a stainless steel vapour chamber to improve thermal management, potentially enabling better sustained performance during heavy use.

Speaking of the display, the iPhone 18 Pro is said to retain the 6.3-inch OLED panel while the iPhone 18 Pro Max gets a 6.9-inch OLED panel. Cameras could be the main focus as Apple may offer a variable aperture. The rumours also hint that the Camera Controls may be revamped.

Under the hood, the Apple iPhone 18 Pro series is said to get Apple’s A20 Pro chip, reportedly built on a 2nm process. This means it will offer faster processing and better efficiency along with AI features.
