Released on September 18, 2026, the Apple iPhone 18 Pro Max combines a 6.9-inch 2868x1320 Super Retina XDR OLED display with Apple's 2nm A20 Pro chip and a larger vapor chamber for cooler sustained loads. It is the first iPhone generation to feature a physical variable-aperture main lens alongside 48MP ultrawide and 4x telephoto cameras, Focus Tracking, and cryptographically signed Reference Images. Video creators get 4K/120p Dolby Vision, Apple Log 2, ProRes RAW, and Genlock support. Downsides include its hefty 249g weight, a $100 year-over-year price increase to $1,299, and Camera Control's inability to adjust aperture directly.
Powered by Apple's 2nm A20 Pro chip, the iPhone 18 Pro Max tops BGR's Geekbench 7 testing at 4,735 single-core and 12,545 multi-core while lasting up to 45 hours of video playback. Its 48MP main camera adds a physical f/1.48-to-f/4.0 variable aperture alongside a larger vapor chamber. It beats #2 Samsung Galaxy S26 Ultra on raw silicon speed and battery endurance, though Samsung answers with S Pen support, Privacy Display, and faster 60W wired charging. Key 2026 specs — Processor: Apple A20 Pro (2nm); Display: 6.9-in 120Hz OLED (2868x1320); Rear Cameras: 48MP x 3 (f/1.48-f/4.0, 4x/8x zoom); Battery & Charging: 5,567 mAh (eSIM), 45h video; Software: iOS 27.
